What a 160 means for law school admissions
Law schools publish the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile LSAT scores of their entering classes in their ABA Standard 509 reports. Comparing a 160 with those figures shows where it would sit in each class.
- T14 schools: fall 2025 medians ran 170–174, and even the lowest 25th percentile among them was 166. A 160 is well below that range.
- Schools with medians of 165 or higher: 48 of 196 ABA schools. A 160 is below the median at all of them.
- Everywhere else: the typical law school median was 159 for fall 2025, and a 160 is above the median at 105 of 196 schools.
A school's median is a middle point, not a cutoff: about half of its entering class scored below it.
