About Cross-Admit Comparisons
Understanding how this data works and what it tells you.
Cross-admit data shows what happens when an applicant is accepted to two law schools: which one do they choose to attend? This is one of the most reliable indicators of how applicants perceive school quality, prestige, and value.
LSD.Law tracks nearly 1 million self-reported law school applications. Our cross-admit comparisons use only decisions where the applicant was accepted to both schools and chose to attend one of them. Each comparison requires at least 20 cross-admit decisions to ensure statistical reliability.
Unlike rankings, which aggregate expert opinions and institutional metrics, cross-admit data captures revealed preferences -- how applicants vote with their enrollment deposits when facing a real choice between two schools. Scholarship offers, location, career goals, and prestige all factor into these decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cross-admit data and law school comparisons.
What is cross-admit data?
Cross-admit data tracks what happens when a law school applicant is accepted to two different schools. By looking at which school they ultimately choose to attend, we can gauge real applicant preferences and revealed value perceptions. Unlike rankings alone, cross-admit data reflects actual decisions backed by enrollment deposits.
How many cross-admits are needed for a reliable comparison?
LSD.Law requires a minimum of 20 cross-admit decisions before publishing a school comparison. This threshold ensures the data reflects a genuine pattern rather than a handful of individual choices. For the most popular pairs, we have hundreds of cross-admit data points.
How is cross-admit data collected?
LSD.Law users voluntarily report their application outcomes -- including which schools accepted them and where they ultimately chose to enroll. The data comes from nearly 1 million self-reported application records to ensure accuracy.
Do cross-admit results change over time?
Yes. Cross-admit preferences can shift as schools change scholarship policies, improve employment outcomes, or rise in rankings. Each comparison detail page includes a cycle-by-cycle breakdown so you can see recent trends.
