<p>Predictor</a> Law School Predictor</p>
<p>law school predictor. enter your stat into the chart then it will estimate ur chance. is it precise? any insight?</p>
<p>I’ve seen this link plenty of times on this board and it has never been discredited so I would say it’s fairly valid.</p>
<p>Okay so it appears one need to get 170+ LSAT and 3.8+ GPA to get in NYU…
I doubt if I could get cumulative 3.8 eventually…</p>
<p>170/3.8 sounds a little low for NYU. You’d need a higher LSAT but could probably afford a lower GPA.</p>
<p>Lots of bells and whistles- but interesting format with lots of info. </p>
<p>So using the predictor with stats of 170/3.8- NYU decision would fall into “consider” range which corresponds to a 38% to 62% chance of admittance based on website info. So it’s a fancy way of saying your chances of admittance to NYU is-- MAYBE.</p>
<p>looks like if your gpa and LSAT fall at or above the 25% range, your chances will be noted as “Consider”. If your stats are at or above the 75% range, your decision will be noted as Admit.<br>
Not earth shattering info- but none the less another “fun” tool to use.</p>
<p>There is a multi page discussion on this on TLS. Seems like new and improved version was launched just a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>Yeah 170+ for NYU is definitely needed but GPA could be much lower.</p>
<p>You can get into CCN with 3.5+ if you have a good LSAT, it doesn’t work as strongly the other way.</p>
<p>Marny: have you seen any good explanation for what the algorithm does?</p>
<p>bdm- even if I saw a good explaination for what the algorithm did, the explaination would completely go over my head.
The response from TLS posters seems pretty positive towards this law school predictor site. As I don’t see too much bashing, I’ll assume that those who understand these formulas, algorithms etc. are giving it their seal of approval.</p>
<p>I find these “predictors” interesting and may give someone a starting point as to what schools to consider, but more than that, I would hate for someone to rely too heavily on this info.</p>
<p>Maybe because I am not going through the admission process, I don’t like the idea of my kid or someone else on these boards NOT applying to a “reach” school because a predictor says they have little chance of getting in.</p>
<p>One needs to be practical and have a bunch of good match schools and safety schools to apply to- but once you cover your bases, then you might as well send an application or two to your dream school, even if the predictor says “deny”.</p>
<p>Yeah, something along the lines of this:</p>
<p>“You have 10% odds if you apply, but that goes down to 0% if you don’t.”</p>
