How does your score stack up?

Check out our guide to see if your LSAT score makes you competitive at Southwestern Law School. As with all of our provided LSAT ranges, these are meant to give you a general idea of your admissions chances. They are not guarantees of admission or rejection.
 
156 and above: You can probably count on scholarship money from Southwestern if your GPA, letters of recommendation, and resume are strong. If your score is in this range, your score will outperform three-quarters of Southwestern’s class.
 
155: Scoring a 155 will also put you in a great position for scholarship money, since this score hits Southwestern’s 75th percentile.
 
154-153: A score in this range will also be competitive, since you’ll be at or above median.
 
152-151: While you’re below median at this point, you’ll still fall within their 25th-7th percentile range. Get your application materials in order early and plan to submit them as soon as possible to help make your case for admission stronger.
 
150-147: Because an LSAT score in this range is below the 25th percentile, you will need a very strong undergraduate GPA to help offset admissions officers’ concerns about your test score.
 
146 and below: With an LSAT score in this range, you may want to consider studying to take the LSAT again. You will need every other piece of your application to be outstanding to balance out your LSAT.
