This table represents a current estimate of the GPA and LSAT score at which a law school is likely to accept an applicant from Georgetown University (the "Yes-Point"). For other schools, adjust upward or downward based on the competitiveness of your undergraduate institution. Use these estimates only as a starting point; results will vary significantly based on the applicant's achievements, ethnic background (in some cases), family resources, supporting recommendations and application strategy.

The data examined for this table include the Top 50 law schools' fall 2006 admission decisions. Schools are grouped by Difficulty Category (1 through 14). Within each Difficulty Category, schools are ranked according to estimated admission difficulty.
