Thoughts on UT Austin Forum

I have a 3.7 gpa major animal science - reproduction physiology have yet to take the lsat just trying to see where i could possibly be accepted. Im 20 right now but when i do graduate and able to apply for law school i will have been 21 for about a week . so im head for my age but behind in the application pools and lsat

It's way too early to be thinking about it. It's absolutely impossible to tell where you can go without an LSAT. It's the single biggest factor in admissions.

hey but say i get a decent lsat score lower than some schools would normally accept do you think my age would make them look twice just asking ?

No. If anything, your age will have a slightly negative impact. Nothing will overcome numbers not up to par at schools.

It depends on how old you are. And what is "decent" but lower? Like 1 point lower?

Probably not though, as age doesn't factor in as an URM.

although my family is sure i can get into UT they dont want me to attend they said it would be to close to home and they dont want me to come home every weekend . So UT would prolly be out of the question before it even came up with them

You would not go to the best school in the state because it was TOO close to home? That is a really really dumb reason. Sounds like you don't even deserve UT.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Tell them to shove it if you get in to UT.

You haven't gotten in yet, either.

You seem to be under the impression that the LSAT is easy.

Further discussion is pointless until you get your LSAT score.
