LSAT needed for UVA ED Forum

[mx23250]

So I have an LSAC UGPA of 2.85 (very poor, I know). What sort of LSAT do you think I would need to have a decent shot at getting into UVA ED?

I know it matters very little, but I do have a PhD (hard sciences) & MBA (4.0 GPAs from each, multiple awards) along with relevant work experience for going into patent law. That certainly provided for some very strong LORs, PS, and addendum, but it really comes down to what my LSAT score can be. I know UVA is a very splitter-friendly school if you ED. Do you think I'd have a shot with a 170 or would it need to get to at least ~173+? I'm taking the October LSAT and I'm shooting for a 173+, but you never know how the actual test will turn out. I appreciate any input. Thanks in advance!

If you score between a 170 and 175 mylsn.info says you have basically no chance at UVa. Northwestern and Duke will give you a little more hope however.

The above post didn't take into account the ED factor. OP, there really just aren't many data points with your numbers applying ED. One applicant with a 173 and a 2.79 made it into UVA, but that seems to be the only acceptance in your GPA range in the past few cycles. Regardless, kill that LSAT and hopefully you will have some options.

ED was included in that mylsn chart.
