Several questions on chances
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2010 3:38 am
Hey everyone,
As I read through some of the other responses to threads I still had a few questions. As far as general information goes, my LSAT and GPA are 161/3.65. I realize that my LSAT is weak, but it was a 12 point improvement over my Sept. score which was downright embarrassing. I am re-taking it in Feb. because I am still not satisfied and finally have had the proper time to prepare.
The real reason that I'm posting is because I am curious to get feedback regarding schools that place more weight on factors outside of LSAT/GPA. Obviously, my scores aren't too impressive, but I have worked hard throughout my undergraduate years to be well rounded. I can include things such as my internship for my Senator in DC, work for my Governor, student body president of a large university, study abroad, second language (Portuguese), and an agricultural background. I have worked hard to get respectable, well-written letters of recommendation and extensively on my personal statement. While these things are by no means "earth-shattering," I am just playing the hand I have been dealt. As with anyone else, I am just trying to maximize my chances of acceptance into a good school. Advice on reach schools that may potentially be interested is what I'm looking for, however, all input is welcomed.
Have a great evening.
