Why
your LSAT score is Important
|
|
Your
LSAT score is reviewed
by admissions departments
and even some future
employers. It is
a major factor in
the following areas:
-
In
the admissions
process:
At
most schools the
LSAT is one of
the most important
factors in the
admissions process
since the test
is designed to
measure the academic
skills many schools
believe are the
most important
for academic success
in law school.
Schools also place
a great emphasis
on your score
because tests
like the LSAT
are the only standard,
or "objective"
measures for all
applicants - LSAT
scores can be
compared directly
as opposed to
GPAs from different
colleges.
-
In
obtaining
academic scholarships
and other financial
aid:
Your score
can greatly
boost your chances
of obtaining
highly competitive
and limited
academic scholarships
which are usually
based in part
on LSAT scores.
With soaring
tuition, nothing
is sweeter than
money you don't
have to pay
back.
-
The
law school
rankings process:
Since the
average LSAT
of admitted
applicants
is one of
the factors
in some law
school rankings
processes,
many law schools
may view a
higher average
as a way to
increase their
respective
rankings.
-
Landing
the best summer
internships:
Like law schools,
some legal employers
rely on the LSAT
in differentiating
among applicants.
In some of the
more competitive
summer internships,
employers may
only interview
those with a minimum
LSAT - in the
90th percentile,
or higher, for
example.
-
In
ultimate career
earnings:
Since
your LSAT will
affect the school
you eventually
attend, and the
internship you
land, it will
ultimately affect
the type of legal
job you obtain.
Fair or not, these
factors affect
your ultimate
salary.

LSAT
Description
|
|
The Law School Admission
Test (LSAT) is a standardized,
multiple-choice test used
by law schools as one basis
for comparing and either
admitting or rejecting applicants.
At most schools it is one
of the most important factors
in the admissions process
since the test is designed
to measure the academic
skills many schools believe
are the most important for
academic success in law
school. The Law
School Admission Council
(LSAC)
the LSAT administers the
test on behalf of all the
law schools.
