My niece scored 179 on the LSAT.
She’s a recent Cornell grad.
The highest possible LSAT score is 180. While a perfect score of 180 is rare, a score of 170 or higher is considered excellent and can significantly improve your chances of admission to competitive law schools.
Here’s a breakdown of what different LSAT scores mean:
- 180: A perfect score, achieved by less than 0.1% of test-takers.
- 175: In the 99th percentile, indicating an exceptional score.
- 170: A highly competitive score, in the 98th percentile.
- 160: Generally considered a good score for top-tier law schools.
- 150: The average LSAT score.
