The 2023-24 law school admissions season has officially opened at many schools. We think those of us who have been through this process and those of y’all who are now going through it can agree on one thing: Applications are stressful enough as is.
So, we’ll try to make this season a bit less difficult for you. We’ve compiled all the important information about each of the top 100 law schools’ admissions into one convenient location. All of this information is publicly available with a few keystrokes. But we thought we’d save you some trouble by doing that legwork — erm, fingerwork, we guess — for you.
Use this information to set your LSAT goals, devise your application plans, or even decide where to apply. Do whatever you’d like with it. It’s your information now.
Today, we’re finalizing the list of the top 100 law schools, per U.S. News & World Report’s rankings. And a tip of the cap to r/lawschooladmissions, which compiles a spreadsheet that we used to fill out some of this data.
