169/3.8x Forum

[YaSvoboden]

I took last October's LSAT and got 169, my GPA is 3.82 or 3.83.

I decided to put off applying for this year and do a master's instead, leaving the option open for Law School.

I have also recently gotten tribal membership as a Native American. It hasn't had a major effect on my life, but I figured it might do something.

Besides that softs are normal; honor's club officer, jobs, spent a couple years in Russia doing service.

I was wondering what top 10 schools would give me a solid shot and where I may obtain a full scholarship or close to it.

You figured very, very right.

You're in with money at Columbia/Chicago. I'd give you about a 80% chance at H, 60% chance at S, and 30% chance at Y. If you can boost your LSAT in October up to a 171, you're as close to a lock as you can get for HYS.

That said, this is assuming you get the full URM boost from being NA. If you don't get this boost or only get a partial boost, you could be looking at significantly lower chances (like, maybe Columbia).

Retake, score a few points higher, and enjoy a very, very, very successful cycle.
