Harvard Law has its LSAT medians posted and I am wondering what the practical implications/takeaways are for someone who wants to apply. I understand what medians are, but am just confused about what the take away would be given the much bigger difference between 50 and 75 vs 50 and 25. The numbers are as follows:
25h percentile: 170
50th percentile: 174
75th percentile: 176

There are more people between 174 and 176 than 174 and 172. In fact, a quarter of scores go from 174 to 176, while you need to widen the range to achieve the same quarter of scores on the lower part: from 170nto 174
(Also, a quarter scores are below 170, etc)
Percentiles are not about distance of scores but rather how many people fall on each nin
