LSAT Scores by Applicant Percentile

LSAT Scores by Applicant Percentile

Looks like more high scorers applying - fewer low scorers applying.Interesting to see the changes from previous years.

What this shows you is what percentile of the applicant pool your LSAT score is. Comparing this data to the percentile data for all LSAT takers is interesting—a 170 is in the 97th percentile of all takers but the 90th percentile of all applicants so far this year, for example.

Cycle data for this cycle is as of 12/3/19, cycle data for last cycle is as of 12/4/18, and cycle data for two years ago is as of end of cycle. Annoyingly, LSAC's link to the end of year summary for last cycle actually points you to the end of year summary for 2017-18, so I couldn't find last year's full cycle data. But all three are pretty close, year to year.

Hope you find this helpful! I think this is a useful other dimension along which to consider your LSAT score since ultimately, how you compare to other applicants, not testers, is what matters for admissions.
