Date: February 24th, 2026 8:26 PM Author: Nazca Redlines A combination of a few things:
It's all fraudlies
There are way more people who score 175+ than in the past
They only have 260 1Ls
They don't require the LSAT. Applicants can submit LSAT, GRE, or JD-Next scores (not sure what this last one is).
So, I suspect the 130th best LSAT score in the class is not 175. That's probably the median score of applicants who chose to submit a score.
They ruthlessly pursue splitters. Their 25-50-75 is 165-175-176. That's quite a drop off from median to 25th percentile. (Same with GPA, btw: 3.58, 3.96, 4.00.)
This also means they are ruthless to people with very good GPAs and LSATs that are just below median. A 174/3.9 candidate is a much higher quality applicant than a 175/3.5-mo, but the latter will get in with a scholarship offer. The former will get dinged. See here: https://lsd.law/schools/washington-university-school-of-law You're basically an auto admit if you're at or above either median. You're basically an auto ding otherwise. That's how they game the data and the rankings. Too bad for the profession and our scholarship that it's come to this. |

Date: February 25th, 2026 12:13 AM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump This seems like it would be absolute hell. You're at WUSTL so firms aren't going that deep into the class and you're surrounded by smart people with high LSATs who will kill it on the timed law school exam format. i want people in my class who made good grades in college but aren't g-loaded enough to kill a hypo on a 3-hour exam.
