So let's say I got a 160 (it will not be lower or i will cry)on the December LSAT, which is above the 75th percentile for Texas tech, the school I would like to attend. I fooled around too much in undergrad though and ended up with a 3.1 gpa. I also have baggage comparable to Newt Gingrich (2 possession of marajuana tickets). This makes me think it's a stretch that I'll be accepted. Let's just say I do get accepted. I seriously believe I can score 170+ in February. I worked out some kinks and have really been on a role. I also underperformed on test day and am now consistently practice testing between 168 and 173 with room for improvement in RC. Let's just say I retake and get a modest 166.
assuming all of that pans out, would it be possible to get scholarship money in March? Am I fooling myself with unwarranted optimism because of my criminal history? Have you heard of people getting scholarships because of their Feb retake? Would you suggest waiting a year to have a better shot at the next cycle? By the way, I will be 23 soon and am a urm (Mexican)
