Every LSAT score/Number of Applicants/% Change

As of 12/18/2015 Applicants’ LSAT scores have now been expanded to include all scores (to my knowledge for the first time).

The table below shows the ungrouped high LSAT score of 2016 ABA applicants with the percent change from last year: Highest/LSAT/Number of Applicants/ Pct Chg YTD < 140 1,150 -10.6% 140 222 -5.5% 141 296 15.6% 142 227 -2.6% 143 325 11.3% 144 331
