<p>I thought it my be interesting to start a thread on acceptances. I do not know how to set it up but...
so far my daughter has received the following:
UCLA (early decision) wait list
Loyola Los Angeles acceptance</p>
<p>several more to go!</p>
<p>I would encourage you to go to lawschoolnumbers.com</p>
<p>Why? I am not looking for stats, just real CC first person experiences</p>
<p>Those aren't just stats.. if you go to the applicant page, it has the data you're looking for. I'm just recommending it, since this forum isn't as relatively active.</p>
<p>You sent me to the right place. Thank you. My experience has been on the undergrad boards and there is definitely more activity there.</p>
<p>wow looking through the lawschoolnumber.com I saw sooo many accepted to harvard!!
I think almost all (not literally) with 170and above with /3.9 GPA and above got in to HARVARD.
by looking at this it seems that it is much much easier to get into Harvard Law than getting in to any IVY undergraduate!!
DID I observe this correctly?</p>
<p>Nah. you didn't.</p>
<p>The median LSAT score for Harvard undergrads who take the test is 166.</p>
<p>The median LSAT score for the entering class at HLS is 173. 170 puts you at the 25th percentile for the class. </p>
<p>There are 556 members of the first year class, however, so that works out to 139 members of the class with LSAT scores of 170 or lower.</p>
<p>Re #6: That's incorrect on two levels.</p>
<p>First, you want to look at a graph of a complete cycle, as in:
LSN</a> :: Harvard University - Admissions Graph</p>
<p>You can see that your observation is not right; 3.9/170 is not a guarantee of admission.</p>
<p>Second, 3.9/170 is an extraordinarily difficult threshold to meet. 3.9s in college are not as common as 3.9's in high school, and 170 is a very, very difficult score to achieve -- approximately the 98th percentile, if memory serves, so only 1 in 50 scores.</p>
<p>Bluedevilmike is correct. The scatter graph for 2009 only tells who has been accepted thus far. Almost no one has been rejected at Harvard . . . yet. Most applicants are still waiting to hear, and if this year is like former years, there will be candidates with perfect LSAT scores and near perfect grades who will not be admitted there. Still H is one of the largest law schools in the country and to fill all their places they may have an 'auto-admit' threshold, but it's way above 170. </p>
<p>FWIW, my D has been admitted to H but is by no means certain that will be her top choice, because of the punishing cost of attending. She'll make a decision when she has a much better picture of aid and scholarship information.</p>
<p>Hushinfazen, I hope your D has a good cycle.</p>
