Re: 2.9/159 chances
Be wary of Cooley! I have heard some rough stuff about them. (attrition rate = really, really bad)
I think that your GPA is gonna hurt you but the 159 LSAT is not bad at all! Also, with those numbers, admissions committees will hopefully check out your LOR's and your resume/personal statement combo. If you have spent some time on that I think your chances are good for all of them and especially Syracuse!

Re: 2.9/159 chances
Go ahead and take Cooley off your list. You should get in Syracuse, Hofstra & Albany. I'm not real sure of the others.basehead11 wrote:Hi, I have a 2.9 gpa with an upward trend.
