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.

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.

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

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

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