Law School Probability Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Probability (P) of getting into a law school:

\[ P = (GPA \times 0.25) + (LSAT \times 0.35) + (PS \times 0.2) + (LOR \times 0.1) + (EC \times 0.1) \]

Where:

\(P\) is the Probability of getting into a law school
\(GPA\) is the Grade Point Average (on a 4.0 scale)
\(LSAT\) is the Law School Admission Test score (on a scale of 120-180)
\(PS\) is the Personal Statement quality (on a scale of 1-10)
\(LOR\) is the quality of Letters of Recommendation (on a scale of 1-10)
\(EC\) is the quality and quantity of Extracurricular Activities (on a scale of 1-10)

What is Law School Probability?

Law School Probability refers to the statistical likelihood of a prospective student being accepted into a specific law school based on various factors such as their Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores, undergraduate Grade Point Average (GPA), personal statements, letters of recommendation, and other application materials. This probability is often used by applicants to determine which schools they have the best chance of getting into and to strategize their application process.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Grade Point Average (\(GPA\)) = 3.8
LSAT Score (\(LSAT\)) = 165
Personal Statement (\(PS\)) quality = 8
Letters of Recommendation (\(LOR\)) quality = 9
Extracurricular Activities (\(EC\)) quality and quantity = 7

Using the formula:

\[ P = (3.8 \times 0.25) + (165 \times 0.35) + (8 \times 0.2) + (9 \times 0.1) + (7 \times 0.1) = 0.95 + 57.75 + 1.6 + 0.9 + 0.7 = 61.9 \]

The Probability of Getting into Law School is 61.9.
