https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats

someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats

Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture

ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below

InsipidLemon

got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you

InsipidLemon

15:21

Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:21

they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:22

yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle

InsipidLemon

15:22

yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too

InsipidLemon

15:22

Appreciate it man!

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:23

yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle
