About this listen
Ben and Nathan dig into a striking chart showing dozens of schools clustering their LSAT medians at 150 and 160, while almost nobody reports 149 or 159. They break down why schools chase these round-number medians, how it leads to irrational admissions behavior, and what it means for applicants trying to play the rankings game.
Also in this episode:
- How applying without a GPA can affect your admissions chances
- Success stories from Demon students who crushed the November LSAT
- Why the University of North Carolina has climbed so quickly in the rankings
