This review is from: 1998 Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools (Annual) (Paperback)

Though this book will not give you the same crucial, informal advice that guides written by students will, it offers invaluable information about your chances of getting into law school. Most of the law schools in this book have included admission indices, which is a cross-referenced chart that details which students get in and which do not. By using your LSAT score and your cumulative gpa, you can tell how many people with your credentials applied to a certain law school, and how many of them got in (such as, 2/13 --2 out of 13 applicants-- or 39/39).
