[Delux2471]

Hi guys

I'm a black male I graduated from the university of central Florida with a degree in criminal justice and a 2.8 due to some financial issues. What is an ideal lsat score for me to land a spot at a pretty good t2 or even t1 school possibly. Pleas include any input about scholarship money also.

Thanks Guys!

I think the answer is:

Do your best. Find the best materials you can to study for the LSAT and don't stop until you're sure you can't do better. Any answer anyone gives you won't matter until you have an actual LSAT score. If you must play fantasy LSAT in the mean time:

Run your current numbers and your fantasy numbers there and see where previous people with your numbers ended up.

Well, if you to have even a shot at HYS, you'll have to get around a 173 or so, which is the average for these schools, although possibly even higher. I'm sorry man, but your GPA is just too low.

The ideal LSAT score is a 180.

Don't go to a T1 or T2. It sounds like you want to get into the best school you can get into and you can get into some very good ones if you crush this very learnable test. Take a class or do the powerscore books and take a bunch of practice tests. 2.8 AA male with an LSAT in the high 160s/low 170s can attend some reputable law schools.

So I'm sorta taking it that you dont care where you end up working, as long as you have a job? Because thats what your "I dont care what school" mindset sorta indicates...

But, imo, any URM should shoot for high 60's low 70s'. You'll be a splitter so you may not get as much $$ as other URM's but that score will certainly put you in a good position at many schools
