“But here is where the math is important. #14 GULC’s mean admitted LSAT is 168, so a 166 is below that threshold. Sure, a high GPA will mitigate, but no way 88% are getting in as LSAT is ~50% of the admissions criterial for all but Y & S.”
Not all University of Chicago grads who apply to law school apply to Top 15 schools. I imagine that the Chicago grads who scored in the 150’s or low 160’s set their sights lower, and only those who scored in the high 160’s or 170’s applied to Top 15’s. Looking at it that way, I could see an 83 to 85% acceptance rate for those who actually apply to Top 15 schools. Also, I believe that 168 LSAT is the median for Georgetown, not the mean.
