AA Male 165/3.95

Post by muggman2015 » Wed Jul 02, 2014 4:20 pm

Hey all, What are my chances to score significant $ at T-14 schools? Michigan guy, would live UofM.
Also already signed up for retake but would like to know where this 165 could get me.

Thanks in advance!

Not a lot of reported data on LSN from AA males with your stats

But the rumor is that you'll be in great shape. $$$ from multiple T14s

Thanks,
I hear/see alot of the same rumors Its just hard for me to believe considering the 25-75 percentile
ranges. The boost is that significant?

You can cancel the retake if you want. You're already guaranteed a full-ride at Mich if that's what you're aiming for. You'll get into at least one of YHS as well. Enjoy your summer and write a good PS.

One of my friends was an AA male with almost exactly your stats (he had a slightly lower gpa) he had his choice of HYS and huge cash (if not full ride than close to it) at CCN.

I wouldn't say guaranteed a Darrow but I will say most likely a full ride somewhere in the top 14 and a very good chance at either HS. But yeah you're in a great place, but a good retake can only mean Y comes into the realm of possibility and perhaps a Ruby/Hamilton, which aren't really on the table just yet.

Edit:I guess I have seen AA's with close to your stats get Y, but usually they have fantastic softs and an at least slight higher LSAT.

Yeah the boost is pretty big. Not enough data on mylsn.info that matches you to get much from there, but it seems like you'll have much sought after credentials.

And if UMich is your goal, you're already looking pretty darn good. I agree that one or more HYS acceptances is likely. Make sure your other materials are well put together.

Good luck!

Not a bad idea! More secure for HYS acceptance and CCN $$$ if you get even a point or two. Study hard

Yeah no man I was disappointed with mine too but for us AA males there really aren't enough high scoring ones to go around. And really smart move still retaking! Best of luck!
