Top Law Schools

Older LSAT applicant
30 years old
Been getting 150-160 range
have a 2.9 ug gpa,

BUT 3.4 grad gpa (MPA Public Administration) and 7 years work/life experience

what are chances 1/2 to full scholarship in part time programs like PACE or St Johns?

Doubtful, imo.

chances of any scholarship?
chances of acceptance?

Since you have been out of school so long and have w/e get that LSAT to a solid 160 and you will have a chance at some small scholarships, but will definitely be accepted.

30 years old & only 7 years "life experience" ?

How are you preparing for the LSAT ?

I don't get this question, it implies there's something wrong with the timing. I see nothing wrong, though. OP got a master's degree and 7 years work experience by 30? That's about right.

I think he's distinguishing between life experience and work experience. He should prolly have around 30 years of life experience by now..

w/ 160 - acceptances but no $

When you get to 30+ you probably wouldn't call anytime before college graduation "life" experience.

i said life b/c i've heard the term before used as life experience if older applicant, or work experience...

Don't go to Pace or St. John's.

why not go there..
i am particularly interested in pace's land use law programs, as that what i studied in grad school

In so few words, terrible job prospects.

chances of scholarship will depend on LSAT

just a 163 would probably get you in the ball park

look at LSAT 75 percentile of the school. Shoot above that.

163 gets you Cooley full ride.
