Your odds
A 159 LSAT sits you right at the median, and the range from 155 to 162 spans St. Thomas MN's middle 50%. At 57.6%, more than half of applicants get an offer, so this isn't a lottery school, but your file still needs to clear that middle band to land real money. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you guess at what your file is worth.
