Questions about a 166 LSAT

Is 166 a good LSAT score?

It depends on the school. A 166 is at or above the median LSAT at 161 of 198 US law schools, and below the 25th percentile at 15. At a school where 166 is above the median, the LSAT helps an application; where it is under the 25th percentile, at least three in four of the entering class scored higher.

What law schools can I get into with a 166 LSAT?

No LSAT score guarantees admission, and GPA carries real weight. On the LSAT alone, 166 meets or beats the median at 161 US law schools. The most selective of them by median LSAT are Emory Law School (median 166), FSU College of Law (median 166), Illinois College of Law (median 166), Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law (median 166) and Wake Forest Law (median 166).

What GPA goes with a 166 LSAT?

6 US law schools report a median LSAT of exactly 166. Their median GPAs run from 3.79 to 3.93. A GPA at or above a school's median alongside a 166 puts an applicant at or above the middle of that class on both numbers.
