U.S. News and World Report is one of the most respected and widely recognized law school ranking authorities. The Internet Legal Research Group also provides free law school ranking data. These entities provide raw data for 2008 law school acceptance for each of the 200+ ABA-approved law schools in the United States and Canada. This data includes grade point averages, LSAT scores and percentage of applicants accepted at each school.
For example, successful applicants to the number one ranked law school, Yale University, had grade point averages ranging from 3.83 to 3.97 and LSAT scores ranging from 170 to 176. Only 6.8% of all Yale applicants were accepted.
On the opposite range of the spectrum, applicants accepted to Thomas M. Cooley, a low-ranked school, had grade point averages between 2.79 and 3.37 and LSAT scores between 146 and 152. 66.6% of all applicants were accepted to Thomas Cooley.
