Could I make BC/BU with these numbers? I'm right below the median LSAT for BC (164) but beat out their 75th in GPA (3.69). WIth BU I am a bit more below their median LSAT (165) and between their median and 75th for GPA, but apparently BU is less LSAT heavy than BC, so I might have a decent shot there as well? :? I am a minority, but not URM, just wondering if that helps a bit for the app process in general? Appreciate the help guys.

P.S. I know y'all are t14 or bust on this board from my short time on here, just FYI I am EDing to GTown, hopefully that goes through.

Use mylsn.info, it's what anyone on here will use to determine your chances at any given school. If you don't like what that reveals, then you should probably retake.

I've tried using MyLSN,but sometimes as I move up on the GPA/LSAT combination, chances of acceptance drop? :? That led me to question its validity.

It's valid to the point that it'll tell you everything LSN will tell you. If the numbers seem iffy to you, then just do what you're going to do anyway: apply.

Retake: a 170 can get you in NYU. Why settle for BU and BC if you can get into NYU?

Your chances should be good at BC, and solid at BU.

I agree with dnptan on all points. While you're a few points shy of LSAT medians at BC/BU, I'm betting they will drop again this year as applications and high LSAT scores continue to decline.

Moreover, with that GPA, you have a great shot at everything from CC down with the right LSAT. Strongly advise retaking.
