LSAT < = 153? Forum

[FiveSermon]

I've been accepted places (T2/T3/T4) with a 150 LSAT. Surprisingly even waitlisted at UT and American.

With a 150 and 3.1, you must have cured a rare disease to have been WL'd at UT. Good on ya.

He's a URM.

Even if URM, 150/3.1 is auto-ding for UT. Must have something else going for him/her.

TLS, can i get some advice:

153/3.82/ UCLA (poli sci) graduated Cum Laude and honors all 4 years, graduated 2010 and Ive been working full time for 2 (going on 3) years as a legal assistant in an Intellectual Property Firm. Good LoR's and application should be strong (aside from LSAT), [non-URM]

with the drop in apps, how do i look for Fall 2013 in CA schools?

There is just a huge difference between a 147 and a 160. The kids the have a shot at competing at the schools you want to go to are getting 160's. I hope "doing better" is mid 150's and not 147.

You come across as a very sincere and thoughtful person and if I had a 136 I would hope we could be friends at whatever law school would accept us regardless of whether or not we would both be condemned to living in section 8 housing the rest of our lives.

This post literally made me laugh out loud... I can't really imagine what tone was meant to be expressed, but jesus... the one I applied to it made it hilarious

are you planning on retaking? If not, you really should. 3.8 is an AWESOME gpa, and you shouldn't waste it on a low 150s. With just like 3 months of studying, most people can be above 160. The problem is that most people don't even know to study. I went from 155 to a 164, and if you're capable of studying your way to a 3.8, I'm sure you'll be able to get your lsat score up.

Hey thanks for the words of encouragement instead of being a dick like most people on here. I went back and forth about retaking but ended up riding out a waitlist at a T2 and got in after a school visit/meeting with the dean of admissions. I've already taken the test twice, improving 5 points my second time around (I had a medical issue the first time). At this point, with so much already invested in my chosen school (seat deposits, required readings, books, apartment), I can't see myself turning back.

Best of luck. If you don't mind sharing, where are you attending, and how much did they offer?
