Hey guys! Frequent lurker-less frequent commentator just got my score back-163. I have a 3.65 GPA. I've prepared all my apps and have pretty much blanketed the t-14. Think I should still apply to HYS?

yes.

Hmmmm I'm sure it's worth the risk!! Thanks y'all.

That curve makes me wish I would've retaken in December.

+1 *sigh* but I guess we also have to take into consideration that this test was probably "harder" in order to warrant a -14 curve

Finally got my score you guys. I improved by 4 points but I'm debating if I should retake in Feb or June or if I should even apply this cycle.

Congrats on the score increase.

I got my score, a bit(just a bit) disappointed. I was Pting higher. Anyway 4pt score increase as well from my last test. Did damn good on my worst sections, bombed my best. Lol, funny how that works.

It really is funny. I murdered every section but one and it still hurts. Even after a few T14 acceptances it still hurts. Congrats on the score increase. Good luck with the cycle.

I went minus 5 on reading comp my worst section, and minus 3 on LG which I thought I bombed. Sadly, it was LR that hurt me majorly. Almost makes me want to retake, but naw, I'm done.

Thank you, it is greatly appreciated. Do you guys think I have a chance at Penn with or without applying ED at all or is my score too low? Really set on attending there.

I'm not knowledable enough to answer your question, but you should check out this thread if you haven't already.

I think you have a shot. There was a guy who grabbed Penn off the WL last cycle and received 90k in scholarship money with a 157. http://lawschoolnumbers.com/Blackman87

Go for it.

[jrd93]

Alright, I definitely will take a look at this. I've read that they are notorious for YP, not that I would be overqualified, but I really would like them to know the seriousness of my application. Also, I know the general rule for AA is not to apply ED, but as far as finding data to support each school is already so minuscule, admissions data about AA applying ED would seem infinitesimal.

Lol at the absolute frenzy on TLS today.
Congrats to everyone who got their scores back today!

UVA just gave me a fee waiver like it was nothing lol. I had barely sent the email before they answered

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice. I retook the LSAT and went from 155 in Oct to 153 in Dec, I am international so I dont have a reported GPA, what I have is a "superior" LSAC GPA ranking. I am considering two options right now:

1) Sit out the cycle, take a prep course, retake in June apply early in the next cycle (I would hate hate hate having to do this)
2) Send out apps this cycle, take a prep course, retake in June with the hopes of getting off the wait list if I am not automatically denied.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

My first choice is Columbia 2nd choice in NYU.

FYI I have fee waivers from:
UVA
Michigan
UCLA
Northwestern
Boston University

I don't know if they would even consider a June Score if you're trying to get off the waitlist for this cycle.

[mt2165]

Something I'm pretty unfamiliar with, how does one go about requesting fee waivers? Is it too late? And should I write it a specific way to convey URM status?

Do you think I should just sit out the cycle?
