[quote=Anonymous]With a 172 and 3.8, just a few years ago an applicant most likely would have been accepted to multiple (if the not the majority) of the T14 schools. However, over the last few years things have changed somewhat dramatically in law school admissions.  The new digital take home format of the LSAT has contributed to a surge in high scorers, along with extremely lax grading policies during Covid,  and combined with a record number of applicants to law schools during Covid, have sent LSAT and GPA medians at the T14 schools soaring. It is not uncommon nowadays to hear  stories about people with 170+ LSATs and 3.9+ GPAs being shutout of the T14 altogether whereas just three years ago they would have been admitted.  In general, top law schools nowadays do have an active preference for those who have a few years of work experience, which does disadvantage applicants applying straight from undergrad. It’s tricky to speculate, but I don’t think a 172 and 3.8 (especially from a KJD) will be a slam dunk for a T14 school. [/quote]
