[blindlaw] Multiple LSAT Scores

[John]

It has been several years since I had the displeasure of taking the LSAT,
but something I have always pondered about is this fictional belief that the
LSAT score is an accurate predictor of how a student will do in his first
year of law school. I personally believe that it is not a predictor of
anything, much less, how a person will perform in law school.
I am sure that there a thousand studies supporting and refuting this claim.
I just find it interesting.
Take care,
John

Here's what UVA's web site says:

What is your policy on multiple LSAT scores?
The ABA requires law schools to report LSAT information using an admitted
students highest score, so that is the score to which we give the most
weight. We evaluate all information submitted as part of the application for
admission, however, including all scores earned on the LSAT. Studies by the
Law School Admission Council suggest that in most cases the average score is
the most accurate predictor of academic performance in the first year of law
school, so we encourage applicants with a significant difference in LSAT
scores to include with their application any information that may be
relevant to the interpretation of test results, such as illness, testing
conditions, or other circumstances that may have affected LSAT performance.
