I don't know about CLS, but I personally think you're in good shape for the other schools you want to go to. At this point, as you're aware, if there is a problem with your application, it's probably going to be about the coke. I doubt that a couple points on your LSAT is going to make a difference if a school's intent on rejecting you because of it.

Possession of cocaine, particularly so recently, seems like a C&F obstacle. Can anyone with more knowledge on this speak to its affect on his law school admissions and bar chances?

Well you're competitive for CLS with those numbers, so congratulations there.

My suggestion would be to directly ask Admissions at CLS. Write a relatively brief, formal email and they'll get back to you. I doubt that it will be a problem.

Best luck,

What kind of moronic advice is this? OP is supposed to write to CLS and ask them whether he should retake? "Hi, please review my file, and tell me whether you'll admit me with my current LSAT score, or if you instead want me to retake". Yeah, that'll go over great. Thanks, BP Robert!

I just come here to hate, not to read

ETA: now that I do read, I'm just confused as to why a couple of points on the LSAT should make a difference to whether a C&F issue will be a problem. Still, why would you ask the adcomms whether they think you should retake so as to deal with that issue is beyond me.

schmelly, yeah, I think we got the same score, so obv. retaking b/c what would LLH do, right?

I heard he got a -1,000,000,000 on RC

OP- consult a lawyer on the possession charge. Not even Blueprint instructors can help you on that one

you're right, I shouldn't accept this low level of performance from myself.

puppy power!

My thoughts exactly - you are clearly channeling your inner puppy; 181 or bust!

Of 34 people who scored a 171 and decided to retake, 21 increased their score, 1 stayed the same, and 12 scored lower.
