If you get a 170+ on the real LSAT, sure.MikeNorec wrote:I'm only a junior in college - but I am not really shooting for ''Ivy'' law. My GPA is kind of low, but do you think I have a good shot at Emory,NYU, or even Michigan?
NYU and Michigan are on par with or better than several Ivies

Re: 3.7, 170 PLSAT
I'm just frustrated because I do not know where I want to apply. I should of made a 176 on the 07 practice test I took... I have no problem with logical / comprehension tests. My GPA is very low though compared to most of my friends here at Georgia State.. I am also a URM. What schools would you guarantee acceptance if I land 172-176? I finished the practice for the first time (under a time limit) and had time to spare in between each section. I know I have not taken the real LSAT yet - but most of my friends and me are confident I will land nothing short of 170.

Re: 3.7, 170 PLSAT
If you get a 170
NYU: Waitlist
Michigan: Accept
Emory: Accept
A 3.7 isn't low at all and with a 170.. that really helps you at a lot of places.
I think you'd get in anywhere you apply except Harvard/Yale/Stanford/Columbia/NYU/Chicago.
NYU: Waitlist
Michigan: Accept
Emory: Accept

^ He's got URM status. Anything above 170 would probably lock up HYS.

It's generally prudent to proof read one's critique of someone else's grammar. Ya I hate when that happens.pleasetryagain wrote:Excusez-moi?khanvalescent wrote:You first.pleasetryagain wrote: cool.. looks like youll have plenty of time to spend working on basic grammar.

lol.. you dont think I saw the little red line firefox puts under misspelled words/missing punctuation? you think I didnt intentionally choose to not correct my typo for lack of caring? I was referring not to the technical precision of OPs post, as this is an internet message board, but to his use of "should of" instead of "should have."r6_philly wrote:It's generally prudent to proof read one's critique of someone else's grammar.

I have no intention of arguing with you, I was commenting on the comment that commented on you. I am a bit perplexed however that you do not care enough to fix a punctuation but you care enough to point out someone miss used a word.pleasetryagain wrote: lol.. you dont think I saw the little red line firefox puts under misspelled words/missing punctuation? you think I didnt intentionally choose to not correct my typo for lack of caring?

>80% of the world doesn't use firefox btw, so there is no reason to presume that you do.
But ok I get what you are saying. (I still don't get it though, what's the point of omitting apostrophes? Is it cool or something because you keep doing it)

Re: 3.7, 170 PLSAT
If you're actually a URM (AfrAm, NatAm, PR or MexAm), then a 170/3.7 should get you into at least one of Columbia, NYU and Chicago, possibly one of Harvard, Yale and Stanford. (URM cycles are hard to predict.) Emory shouldn't even be in consideration, and Michigan would be safe-ish, although you'd want to apply to some lower T14s as well.
Also, "Ivy" really doesn't matter. Yale is the best law school, with Harvard for number two, but Stanford is unequivocably better than Columbia, Columbia is really the same as non-Ivy NYU and Chicago, Penn is definitely below NYU and Chicago and on par with more non-Ivies (Berkeley, Michigan and Virginia), and Cornell is below all of the above and also below non-Ivy Duke and Northwestern.

Re: 3.7, 170 PLSAT
I am a bit surprised that a 3.7 GPA is considered "kinda low" at Emory. A low GPA from Emory & a practice 170 or higher LSAT from practice tests, plus three dollars will get you a cup of Starbuck's coffee.
