What LSAT do you need?

Notre Dame does not publish a cutoff. Use the current class range and treat 170 as the midpoint, not a minimum.

Why Notre Dame is unusual

Federal-clerkship placement is particularly strong relative to its general ranking, so clerkship-focused applicants should evaluate the school through that outcome rather than prestige shorthand alone.
