Preview Of The 2022 U.S. News Law School Rankings: Admissions
The 2022 U.S. News Law School Rankings (based in part on 2020 admissions data) will be released in March (the 2021 rankings are here). In the current methodology, law school admissions count 25% in the overall ranking. Last week, I blogged the ABA data comprising the three components of the admissions ranking:
- Acceptance Rate (2.5%)
- Median Undergraduate GPA (10%)
- Median LSAT (12.5%) (omits GRE due to lack of data)
Below are two admissions rankings. The first is a simple ranking using the above weights. The second uses Z-scores with the above weights to better approximate the U.S. News methodology.
