How important is the LSAT score?
Generally, the more selective and higher ranking a law school is, the more important the LSAT score is. Faculty and administrators at the top25 law schools often say that a student’s LSAT score is the most reliable indicator and predictor of her academic performance during her first year in law school. In order to better understand the relative value of the LSAT score for admissions at different law schools, students may want to examine the most recent law school rankings in U.S. News and World Report. Photocopies of them can be found on the window sill across from Madeleva 333. The ABA Official Guide to Law School may be accessed at the Boston College Locator.
