Sorry for what may be a basic question, but this is my oldest child!

| Thank you. Not humble bragging, I don't even know you and vice versa. |

| Thank you. I appreciate your input. Really not trying to brag. We don't have a school in mind so haven't checked test scores, gpa's, etc. that get you in. Just have heard NOVA talk on what GPA kids from our area need to get in to UVA, Tech, etc. |

| OP - don't get overly confident. It's a good score but not a great score. |

What GPAs (or ranges) have you heard are needed for those schools? |

| Not OP, but I'm wondering if a 31 today is harder to get than it was say 30 yrs ago. Has the test become harder b/c there are so many more kids taking it? I only ask b/c that's the score I got way way back. |

Huh, really? I'm surprised it's so low. This was my score yet I had over a 99th percentile LSAT. |

It's a 31 out of 36. How would you expect it to be 99th percentile? I got a 34 back in the day and I can't remember whether that was 99th percentile. |

I didn't say I expected it to be 99th percentile, and I hadn't thought about it at all in many years. I just thought my scores across my lifetime were closer to one another. |
