The schools release data on total applicants (acceptance rate vs class size if not outright stated) that you can compare to last year on lsd to see what percentage report on here. Obviously there are troll accounts and false data plus growth in use and other things, but that will ballpark that for ya

e.g., Yale: (1217 apps on here, 4,412 total last year, i.e. 3.76 times LSD count); Stanford (1298 on here, 4863 total, 3.75x); Harvard (2011 on here, 8334 total, 4.14x LSD count); Chicago (1559 on here, 5259 total, 3.37x LSD count)

Rule of thumb is the household names (HYS, Columbia, NYU, Berkeley, UCLA, Georgetown) get about 4x the applicants shown on here and the schools for the realheads (well regarded in legal profession, but not necessarily "elite" by lay prestige, e.g., Chicago, UVA) are closer to 3x the number shown on here

CTCSH

What do you project the total A vs LSD total A to be, given that LSD likely tends to students more likely to get into the school they target?

I’m sorry Alligator:(

Is 2.5 about right?
jb2028
13:24
Albeit with some noise (e.g., I'm surprised Duke does not have a higher ratio given 1. reputation via sports etc. 2. in much of the South Duke is about as prestigious as it gets)
CTCSH
13:25
So say a school has a class size of 234 and yield of 34.9% while having 211 As on LSD, they are going to admit 700ish people to fill those 234 spots and that would mean about 500 of those As have been given out at this stage?

@QuixoticPowerfulAlligator: i also got an R like 30 minutes ago. I don't really take Rs that bad though the reason I applied to so many schools was because I know i wouldnt get into all of them
CTCSH
13:25
@manifestT14acceptances: reddit says you apply knowing you will get into all to make them do a scholarship bidding war

(4x rule also holds for Vanderbilt, Notre Dame closer to 5x)
jb2028
13:26
NB: These rules of thumb break down pretty quickly outside of the T20 or T30, applicants on here skew towards T14 and adjacent schools so data here is more limited for someone targeting a regional school ranked T50-T100

I feel like Gtown could potentially be 5 times if Dean Andy is to be believed (I believe I heard him say somewhere they have almost 13-14K this year)

(Well, more limited/less representative)
LSD+ is ad-free, with DMs, discounts, case briefs & more.
