[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law school admissions is getting more unpredictable like college admissions.

There was a time it was mainly your GPA and LSAT. This year was extremely competitive. I advise students and having a score in the 170s and a high GPA does not guarantee T14 anymore.

The ones who did the best in the process have close to a 4.0, scores in the 170s, at least a year of work experience after college and preferably more, academic prizes or significant leadership or awards in college, recommendations that are outstanding. Strength of undergraduate institution matters more than you think. I have to counsel students that just because they have a high GPA does not mean as much if your degree was online or at a school most people have never heard of.

They are more likely to go deep in the class for an Ivy or top 20 than take  from a lower tier university outside of top 50 unless you are at the top of your class. Going to a huge undergrad can disadvantage you by not getting to know your professors well and being so big that there are so many applying from your school.[/quote]

Asians are starting to dominate the T14s but there is a very sharp drop off after T14 of Asians. There’s a perception that if you don’t get T14 it’s not worth your time as you won’t make big money. [/quote]
