Your odds
A 155 LSAT lands you at Suffolk's median, and the middle 50% runs 152 to 159, so scores below 152 sit in the bottom quarter. A 61.9% acceptance rate makes this a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you assume the odds are better than they are.
