You can also sort programs based on recent average GPA, test scores, and acceptance rates so that you can see the relative difficulty of acceptance at your top choice programs.

Getting into law school: What you need to know when you start the process

The Selectivity Index™ is calculated based on data found in the 2023 US News rankings released in March 2022 using the median LSAT Score, median undergraduate GPA and acceptance rate for each school’s full-time program entrants.

The Selectivity Index for each school is calculated as follows: 

1. First, calculate the Selectivity Score which equals: (LSAT Score) x (GPA) x (1 – Acceptance Rate)
2. The Selectivity Index = 100 x Selectivity Score / (the highest Selectivity Score)
