The University of Chicago Law School<\/a> is one of the most reputable and selective law schools in the country, sharing the privileged #4 spot in U.S. News and World Report<\/a>\u2019s top law school rankings with Columbia.
\n 
\nThe law school operates on a quarter schedule, meaning students take more classes in a shorter period of time. If you\u2019re looking to maximize opportunities for exposure to as many legal subjects as possible, Chicago is a great place to start looking. The school is well-known for its clinical training, international law, and tax law programs.
\n 
\nChicago offers students a top-notch faculty that\u2019s noted for producing interdisciplinary scholarship. Students also have the opportunity to get involved in more than 60 active student organizations on campus. The law school also provides a strong brand name that can carry graduates far in a tough legal job market.
\n 
\nFull-time tuition at Chicago clocks in at $56,916 per year. The University of Chicago has a total enrollment of 617 students.

University of Chicago LSAT numbers<\/h3>\n

Chicago\u2019s median LSAT score<\/strong> is 170.
\nThe school\u2019s 75th percentile<\/strong> LSAT score is 172, and its 25th percentile<\/strong> is 166.
\n <\/p>\n

How does your score stack up?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s no surprise how high Chicago\u2019s LSAT numbers are \u2013 the school\u2019s admissions process is one of the most competitive, and Chicago extends admission offers to about 20% of its applicant pool. For a good shot at Chicago, you\u2019ll need a top GPA along with a top LSAT score. Chicago\u2019s median GPA is 3.90. Its 75th percentile GPA is 3.96, and its 25th percentile is 3.79. There\u2019s little room for error when we\u2019re talking about numbers this high, so it\u2019s important to perform consistently well throughout your undergraduate years to impress Chicago\u2019s admissions officers.
\n 
\n176 and above:<\/strong> With a score in the high 170s, you\u2019re in prime position for admission to Chicago. As with other top law schools, Chicago isn\u2019t a sure bet just because you have a great LSAT score \u2013 but a high score will certainly make a strong case to move your application folder to the \u201cyes\u201d pile.
\n 
\n175-172:<\/strong> Your LSAT score is just at or above Chicago\u2019s 75th percentile, so you\u2019ll be near the top of the candidate pool. If you can pair your score with a strong GPA and personal statement, you shouldn\u2019t have many reasons to worry.
\n 
\n171-170:<\/strong> An LSAT score in the low 170s will put you at or just above Chicago\u2019s median range. While it\u2019s a solid score, make sure your other application materials are well-rounded to help improve your admissions odds.
\n 
\n169-167:<\/strong> Chicago would consider a score in the high 160s as decent, but your score won\u2019t make you very competitive. Cast your application net wider with a few backup schools.
\n 
\n166-165:<\/strong> A score in this range will be considered rather low for Chicago, so your chances of admission will be much murkier. Improving your LSAT just one or two points can really make a difference to boost you into clearer waters.
\n 
\n164 and below:<\/strong> If Chicago is your dream school, we recommend that you retake the LSAT. A score in the low 160s might give admissions officers reason to pause on your file. The LSAT is king<\/a> when it comes to top law school admissions, so pick up some of our best LSAT tips and tricks<\/a> to prepare for the next test!
