What ACT score do you need to get into the average law school?

There's no single "average" law school, and admissions requirements vary significantly. However, we can look at some data points to get a general idea. The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is the primary admissions criteria, not the ACT. Law schools don't typically use ACT scores for admission.

To get into a *median* ranked law school (meaning a school around the 50th percentile in US News & World Report rankings or similar), you'd generally need a very strong LSAT score, typically in the range of 150-160. The specific score needed will depend on many other factors like GPA, personal statement, letters of recommendation, and the specific school's applicant pool in that year.

To reiterate: The ACT is not used for law school admissions. Focus on preparing for the LSAT.
