<p>Some colleges compile it, but their data is likely to be incomplete. (Most schools survey their seniors, but not everyone goes to law school immediately after college.) HLS publishes the data on-line; I don't believe many other law schools do.</p>
<p>One way to get at the data - most law schools publish a "face book" for first-year students. Mine included previous degrees and institutions. If you know a 1L someplace, you might ask them for the info.</p>
<p>You have to register with LSDAS to apply to law school. My understanding is that when you take the LSAT you are asked the name of your college (which I think has a number like high schools for the SATs). You are also asked if you are willing to have your score sent to your college. Most people say yes. If you check the yes box, your college will get your score, even if you graduated 20 years ago. At many colleges, once the college knows you've taken the LSAT, the college will get in touch with you, if you haven't already contacted it to get those 2 academic recommendations put in your file when you graduated and which you now need.</p>
<p>Moreover, to apply to LS, you also have to have your college transcript sent to LSDAS by your college. There is no reason to have your college transcript sent to LSDAS EXCEPT to enable you to apply to LS. (LSDAS will NOT accept a transcript sent to it by an applicant who graduated from a US college; it must come from the college.) I know that at a few schools, there's a nifty little process for getting the transcript sent that basically forces you to let the college know what your LSAT was if you checked the no box. You want a transcript, you cough up the info. Even when it's not that coercive, most colleges will ask you to let them know the information and will contact you to find out the results of your applications to help them guide future LS applicants from that college. I'm sure there are a few people who refuse, but I'd hazard a guess there would be very few. After all, many of those alums have gotten help from the college in figuring out where to apply to LS, getting letters of rec on file, obtaining dean certifications for LS's that require them, etc. </p>
<p>Just as a practical matter, most schools at the level of a Smith are going to keep track of this info. If you look at the Yale link Sakky posted, you'll note that it's partially broken down into stats for seniors and stats for alums.</p>
<p>Jonri,</p>
<p>That makes sense. I don't personally remember any inquiries after my "senior survey," but I was traveling between college and law school, and it's possible they lost track of me for a while.</p>
<p>I actually think you are younger than I am, so I can say that. I think the first class that used LSDAS was the one that entered law school in the fall of 1971. I don't think anyone really made much of an effort to keep track of this stuff until at least 10 years later. Certainly, there weren't lists showing the 25/75% LSDAS gpa and LSAT for every law school back then. There's also been a big push I think in the last 10-15 years for colleges to give a lot more career guidance, and to offer that service to alums as well as current seniors.</p>
<p>In any event, the best clue to "which law schools will admit me?" is which schools have taken alumni from your college with similar stats in the past 5 years. Many colleges keep very, very detailed information.</p>
