I’m not sure who to ask, but I feel like I’m losing it.
I’ve been looking at law schools in my area and reviewing their LSAC grids, which show admission chances based on LSAT scores. About 2–3 weeks ago, when I last checked, I wrote down how many applicants there were and how many were admitted.
When I looked again last night, the numbers and percentages had changed dramatically. It’s still showing the 2024 grid, but the applicant numbers and overall competitiveness have increased a lot compared to what I remember/ wrote down. I know law schools have raised their medians, but I thought that applied to the 2025 cycle. Since the 2024 cycle is already over, I don’t understand why the competitiveness appears to have increased so much in just couple weeks.
if you dont know what I am talking about, go to LSAC website, go to My School List, go to any school you have entered, click on the school description, scroll all the way down, click on "explore admission data for X" and you will see and have an idea of competition there.
