LSAC Academic Report: Average Degree Institution LSAT and GPA

mmowrer

Hey everyone! Quick question about the Academic Summary Report -- LSAC just processed my transcripts and the numbers are what I expected them to be, but I just noticed the statistics they include about your degree granting institution. Specifically, the story they tell about my university is that 65% of students got below average on the LSAT and too few students exist to calculate an average GPA. I was wondering how this is viewed by admission officers and what sort of impact it would have if I'm at the median for my top two law schools.

There is no benefit, for you, to be thinking about this. You can't change what school you went to, and this isn't something big enough to discourage you from applying anywhere. My guess would be most schools don't care. They are interested in you as an individual, and don't care much how Joe from the class of 99 did on the lsat.
