Question for current upper classmen: Getting into Law School

<p>I want to get into Yale Law, Harvard Law, Columbia Law, NYU Law or UPenn Law. What baseline GPA/LSAT scores am I looking at?</p>

<p>i'd like to know as well...prospective pub policy/polysci major, if not economic route...(havent even been accepted to duke undergrad yet tho)..but yeh, im interested to hear an answer.</p>

<p>Yea me too.
I'm hoping that a sub 3.5 GPA and a 175+ LSAT would at least put me in the running for NYU or UPenn.</p>

<p>Work on the GPA - also a 175 LSAT is much harder to get than it may seem.</p>

<p>Generally Harvard's range is about 170-175 and I think about 3.8-3.9 GPA.
UPenn and NYU I think is about 167-171 LSAT and about 3.6-3.8 GPA.
Columbia is sort of in between those.</p>

<p>Coming from Duke, they might give you a little break on GPA but don't expect too much. Numbers mean a lot more than where you come from or what courses you take.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, what are the numbers/statistics for Duke undergrad getting into Duke law? (LSAT, GPA, Acceptance rate, etc.)</p>

<p>Duke law GPA 25-75% percentile is 3.65 to 3.85.
For LSAT it's 165-169.</p>

<p>The overall all acceptance rate is 23% - I once heard there's a small preference for Duke students so it should be higher coming from Duke.</p>
