Hi everyone,
We've updated our law school admissions predictor with data from the 2018–2019 cycle.
You should interpret these predictions with a grain of salt. If law schools admitted students by algorithm, they wouldn't be paying admissions officers to read files. Our predictor is best used to ballpark your chances so that you can apply to a spread of reach, target, and safety schools.

@53487 Yes. It's a little more forgiving now. We think it's more accurate except in cases where you're below both medians, in which case the school is a reach no matter what the predictor says. We're working on making the model smarter.
Was the predictor updated again over the last week I’m pretty sure my results came out differently since a week ago?
@davidbusis895 Unfortunately no, at least for the time being. We don't have enough data.
@davidbusis895 - will something like this come out for Canadian law schools?
@jessicalauren216781 "probable target" is just my way of saying "you'll prooooooooooobably maybe get into this school but I'm not quite comfortable calling it a safety." A target means "you have a good chance based on your numbers, so it's probably going to come down to the quality of your application and a bit of luck."
What is the difference between a target and a probable target?
Why do my chances go down about 3% every year? Lol
Thanks for the update. Is there an article on how being a non K-JD/non-traditional applicant/OWL may affect chances?
I think of it this way:
0–20%: Super-reach
21–40%: Reach
41–60%: Target
61–80%: Probable target
81–100%: Safety
What percent range would you say is a reach, safety, or target school?
