2007 Numbers!! Extra: 2008
(2 comments)Posted on May 01, 2008 08:32
I have finally assembled the 2007 numbers. It was a much more difficult process because LSAC has not published their data either. I also took a look at Law School Numbers, but I noticed there is a big sampling problem - people tend to put their numbers up more often when they're accepted.
In any case, I used both a statistical model and some computer science model-training techniques to come up with the 2007 numbers. It looks like LSAC might be putting up 2007 data this weekend as well, so I'll compare my numbers with theirs and modify the model.
I've put up 2008 numbers under "View My Schools" as well. These numbers are not final, but they should be close.
Safeties, Targets, Reaches - Graphs!!!

I've added graphs to each school's page. These graphs are updated every day at 1 am PST. Some things to note about the graphs:1. Green is for "accepted."
2. Red is for "rejected."
3. The green line represents the average probability of users who were accepted. Therefore, all users on that line should have the same probability.
4. What does it mean when a line slopes down more? Well, it means GPA is more important to that school. For example, Harvard cares about LSAT and GPA equally, whereas Stanford really cares about GPA (notice that the lines for Stanford are really steep). On the other hand, NYU thinks LSAT scores are really important (its lines are less steep than Harvard's).
5. I would consider above the green line to be "Safeties," below the red line to be "Reaches," and in between are "Targets," but it really depends on how far from each line you are.
Again, leave a comment in this news item if you have questions.
