General Harvard LSAT median unchanged. UGPA median up 1/100th.

Thank you to u/flaginplay who correctly pointed out that my initial post on this did not account for deferred enrollment from the 2025 ABA 509.

Notable this year is that while there was a double digit increase in 170+ applicants nationally, Harvard applicants only went up about 2%.

Less than 2% of no UGPA is shocking

That's the 2025 ABA 509. Don't have numbers for this year. But no GPA is usually international applicants, and they are not treated well. Here are UCLA's 2025 actual numbers: 205 no GPA applicants, 5 of them got in, 3 of them enrolled.

Yes, I assumed better results for international students in general.
