Top Law Schools

Hello everyone,
Thank you.

Probably not. Maybe a chance of sneaking into Cornell after riding the waitlist for a long time. Totally opposed to any school that isn't T-14? What are your career goals?

Thank you Winston1984 for your response. I’m not opposed to applying to other schools. I am applying to other schools beside t-14 schools, I just wanted to gauge my chances at t-14 schools before I commit to my choices.

Unless you wanted to retake (which I understand if you don't want to) you'll be looking at the T30 but with some decent money. Good luck!

I agree with Winston

Getting into a T14 under both medians is very unlikely. T30 with money is likely though

Highly Unlikely. Give it a shot, see what happens.

I will apply to a couple of t-14 schools and hope for the best. Thanks mr.hands and Nova for your replies and thanks again to Winston1984.

To be clear, you have Canadian citizenship AND US Citizenship? If not, that kind of screws up your ability to get federal loans.

Thanks for the reply Twentypercentmore. I only have Canadian citizenship, I will probably seek to get loans from various Canadian banks.

You absolutely must get into a top school and preferably with some money. Since you can't get federal loans, you probably won't be able to participate in the school's LRAP program, so this really does put a new spin on "biglaw or bust."

If OP in not Big law or bust, something like a full ride to WUSTL would be manageable

Even though you have 5 takes and 4 scores, you can retake at this point for this year. It's a lot of takes, which might be a slight negative (and not enough data I would assume to figure out how schools would react with 5+ takes), but getting a 170+ would way more than make up for that IMO. Schools need to keep the LSAT median...

So you have a 166/3.57. Chances at T-14 aren't very good.

Thanks for the suggestion Lavitz and wtrcoins3. Thanks again twentypercentmore and Nova for your input. I am considering taking the LSAT again, I'm a little embarrassed though, I feel at this point I could go to the testing center without my ID. Thanks again folks, you have all been an immense help in clarifying my prospects for admission.
