What LSAT score is required for admission to law school?

There is no single “magic” score. Each law school can tell you either the range of LSAT scores for its entering classes, or its median score. The range encompasses all scores from the lowest to the highest, whereas the median score simply means that half the class had scores below that point and half had scores above. Acceptable score ranges, like other admission factors, vary from school to school. As a starting point, you can obtain a copy of The ABA-LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools from LSAC or your local bookstore or you can go to the online version of the ABA/LSAC Official Guide. It contains charts indicating the number of applicants who applied and who were accepted nationally based on UGPA and LSAT percentile. Use these charts as a guide. Then investigate further by speaking to a prelaw advisor and to the particular law school’s admission office.

You may want to ask the admission office about the UGPAs and LSAT scores for the previous year’s matriculated students.
