标题: LSAT SCORE vs. SALARY?
LSAT vs. Future Salary: The Importance of Test Preparation


The following chart lists various LSAT scores from 145 to 170 and the corresponding schools that (in the graduating class of 2000) admitted approximately fifty percent (50%) of applicants with those scores. When graduates from these represented schools are analyzed post-graduation in terms of starting salary and likelihood of securing gainful employment, the LSAT score paints an incredibly accurate picture of what graduates entering the private sector can expect to earn, as well as the unemployment rate those students will find themselves facing at graduation.

The importance of LSAT preparation is further increased by that fact that, for the vast majority of law school applicants, their GPA is already established.



Notes:


Data as given under ** and *** below is based upon graduates responding to surveys by both the Law School Admission Council and by the individual law schools, and, therefore, likely does not represent 100% of graduates from a particular institution.


* The average LSATs used are those that fall well within the 25% - 75% range for past years' acceptance for that particular school.
** Salaries listed are the midrange of full-time private sector (representing employment in either a law firm or in business/industry) salaries for graduates in the year 2000. Private sector employment is typically understood to represent the highest salaries graduates receive when compared to graduates employed in academia, government, judicial clerkships, etc.
*** "Unemployment" represents graduates seeking employment yet still unemployed six (6) months after graduation (please note that these numbers are not a complete percentage of all unemployed graduates, as some pursue further degrees and some do not seek immediate employment).

please notice that, the above statistics indicates a correlation only. It does not mean that an employer would look at your LSAT score when you seek a position. Rather, first year transcript is No.1 important.
