Law School Numbers

Rating: ★★★★★ 

Law School Numbers, or simply referred to as LSN by users, is a large and rapidly growing community of law school applicants. As the name suggests, LSN users share their own applicant information such as GPA, LSAT, extracurricular activities, age, underrepresented minority status, etc… on the LSN database from which that data is compiled and then accessible to all users.

LSN is great in it allows you to go beyond the standard publicly released admissions information from law school and is useful for you to gauge your own odds of admission in a law school based on real data.

Top Law Schools

Rating: ★★★★½ 

Top Law Schools, or TLS, is by far the largest online forum for law school applicants, LSAT prep’ers, and anyone interested in applying to law school. Founded by UC Berkeley Boalt School of Law grad Ken Deleon, the forum has a massive and highly active user base that often provides useful information to law school hopefuls.

Warning: While TLS is still a great community and useful resource, forum trolls and flamers have shown their faces more and more often over the years along with the forum’s popularity. For those new to forums, be careful as some users can be harsh to people early in their law school/LSAT research.

Boston College Law School Locator

Rating: ★★★½☆ 

The law school locator is an excellent free tool provided by the folks over at Boston College. The tool is a matrix that combines the self-reported 25th-75th percentile numbers of the GPAs and LSATs of admitted students. By matching your own GPA/LSAT score within the matrix, the tool is designed to aid you in finding schools in which you will be a competitive, reach, or safety candidate for admission.

While the tool isn’t designed to tell you which law schools to apply to, the locator is excellent in researching potential schools for you to apply to.
