Duke Law School LSAT Ranges
171 and higher: If you score a 171 or higher, you are definitely in the safe zone. Make sure your GPA is good. If it is, your chances of getting into the law school are really good. Make sure your application is free of typos, and that you at gave it some thought. But, you shouldn’t have to sweat it too much with scores like this.
169-170: 169 is the median score for Duke Law school. With that score, you have a solid chance of getting in. You can call this range the “in-the-running” zone. Your grade will need to be top notch. However, low grades won’t kill your application if they are still good. You’ll want to have overcome something really difficult, like a death in your family, or drug addiction. If you can legitimately show that you had lower grades, but that you learned from them, and were able to move on and make things better, you’ll stand a better chance.
166-168: Getting an LSAT score in this range won’t put you out of the running entirely. However, you’ll definitely want to apply to some other schools as well, since Duke will probably pass you up, short of perfect grades, combined with a diverse background.
165 and below: If Duke is your “dream school,” then go ahead and apply. However, know going into that you have a slim chance of getting in.
