Your odds

A 154 LSAT and up puts you in Faulkner's top quarter, 150 sits you right at the median, and 148 or below drops you into the bottom 25% of the admitted class. At a 53.9% acceptance rate, a median score gives you strong odds. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
