Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
If you get a 165, I'd reapply. I don't know what your GPA is, but at 3.0 and 165, you should be able to get into a tier 1 (top 50).2things2 wrote:What do you guys think would be the minimum score I would need to get in June to decide to reapply? Is it 170 or bust?
If your GPA is a 3.5, and you got a 165, it's a no brainer to reapply.
If your goal is top 20, though, your GPA is more important. I'd say 165, apply to IU: B and get 80k to a top 25.

If you get 165-170, then what's your GPA?
Also, are you a T14 or bust? big law or bust?

Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
How so? The deadline to apply was in February and by now theyve already accepted almost everyone. Im pretty sure the final deadline to accept/decline has already passed or is coming up very soonflexityflex86 wrote:Negative.

Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
I think schools can extend it for you. I don't know how it works, but the system is meant to accommodate them, not necessarily us.dr123 wrote:How so?

Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
My GPA is going to be around 3.25-3.3, which is nothing amazing I know. I'm practice testing right around a 169-170, and I expect that to go up, but I'm afraid I'll end up with a 166 or 167 and have a tough time deciding whether to go to Temple/Maryland (depending if Maryland gives me $$) or take a year off. I'm just trying to figure out the score that I need, so that when the time comes I'll know exactly what to do.

With a 3.25 and 167, you can probably do better than Maryland. I think you'd be into IU: B and possibly Emory.

Where do you want practice? If you want to practice in Md then go to U of MD. If you have different aspirations then retake. Good luck.

Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
My dad owns a practice in Philly -- if I go to Maryland it would be because three years of law school would be much more enjoyable in Maryland than at Temple, but in the end I would have avenues into Philly. I think its 167 or bust.bmore wrote:Where do you want practice? If you want to practice in Md then go to U of MD. If you have different aspirations then retake. Good luck.

If I had a guaranteed job, I'd go wherever I got the most money. You read the same books at every school.2things2 wrote:My dad owns a practice in Philly -- if I go to Maryland it would be because three years of law school would be much more enjoyable in Maryland than at Temple, but in the end I would have avenues into Philly.

Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
Just to echo this a little bit, with your GPA, if you get 167+ on your LSAT, you should withdraw and reapply next year. Even if you don't get into higher school, you may get some scholarship money from either temple or maryland. Although, I think if you push hard to 170, UVA are Gtown possibilities.flexityflex86 wrote: If I had a guaranteed job, I'd go wherever I got the most money. You read the same books at every school.

Re: HELP! To Go or To Wait
I agree with all of this. The magic number is 167. Obviously the real goal is 170, but a 167 would give me some serious money at the schools I'm already in at.tea_drinker wrote:Just to echo this a little bit, with your GPA, if you get 167+ on your LSAT, you should withdraw and reapply next year.

I disagree. I think if you get a 165 you should reapply.
