Percentile Benchmarks:
145 = ~26th percentile. 150 = ~44th. 155 = ~63rd. 160 = ~80th. 165 = ~91st. 170 = ~97th. 175 = ~99th.
By law school tier:
Regional schools: 150–155
Top 50: 158–165
Top 20: 165–170
Top 14 (T14): 170–175
Yale/Stanford/Harvard: 173+
Reality check: Each point above 160 is exponentially harder. Going from 155→160 is much easier than 165→170. Plan study time accordingly.
