LSAT Score vs. GPA

<p>Approximately what percent of your application is your LSAT score vs. undergraduate GPA? I'm trying to decide between undergrads and I was wondering how much of a benefit would going to an "Ivy League" school have in admissions. Thanks</p>

<p>Your GPA is only important after your LSAT score is in range of the school your applying to. Even if you have a 4.0, if your LSAT score isn't in range, your chances are pretty bad.</p>

<p>yeah, but it works the other way too. Even if you have a good LSAT score, if your GPA is lower than other applicants' GPAs, your chances are pretty bad.</p>

<p>Read the first sentence of my post.</p>

<p>So its safe to assume that neither the GPA or LSAT is more important than the other?</p>

LSAT is more important; it makes up 70% of your application. It's better to have a high LSAT and a semi-decent GPA(3.3-3.5), than a really high GPA (3.8-4.0) and a LSAT score that's below the school's range. If you really want to know your odds, you could go to sites such as chiashu, that have law school admissions calculators.</p>
