4 point separation in 50th to 75th percentile vs 2 point separation in 50th to 25th percentile

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

The numbers are more clustered in the 174-176 range than they are in the 170-174 range.

Basically the higher the score, the more people on average you pass by improving your score by a point (at least within this range).
