Default Re: Going to take the LSAT in October, just started prep yesterday...

Even if you disregard racial discrimination, those admissions numbers are deceiving. Sure 50% of the people at XYZ top law school got below a certain score, but what percent of applicants with that score actually got in? Just because 50% of the students admitted to XYZ Law School got admitted with a mediocre score doesn't mean 50% of those with a mediocre score got admitted.

Some will get in with those scores...the rest will be laughed at.

Obviously, I understand this. It's just the "laughed at" part that I take exception with. I think using that phrasing mischaracterizes the situation.
