Chances: Puerto Rican; LSAC GPA: 3.77; AIMING FOR 169

Post by thecraverofpower » Sun Apr 22, 2018 9:22 pm

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone might have any opinions or idea on what schools I should potentially apply to in the T-14, and my chances? I want to apply to all and I just want to see the opinions of others!

Use mylsn and none of this matters until you get a real score. Stop worrying about where you will get in and instead go study

Don’t aim for a 169, aim higher!! A 169 will give you a good shot at several T14 acceptances but get your score in the 170s and you could be in full ride territory.

Hi LSAT_Ninja_Tutor,

Thanks for your response :)! I have used it before and there are honestly major problems with it. The dataset is extremely outdated and a majority of the T-14 schools are not included. Moreover, there is also some discrepancy in terms of the data set representation, especially pertaining to URMs. I kinda am more curious with where people find information to make their decisions with applying (mostly URM candidates), as determined by their percentile statistics.
