But, seriously, I took the October LSAT. I had been PT around the high 160s and low 170s. The highest score I hit was a 173. The majority were between a 169 and 171. Very consistent.
On the day of the test, however, something went terribly wrong. I did not have time for an entire reading comp. section and I didn't have time for an entire game. I completely guessed on them. Blind guess. All Es for one of them and Cs for the other. Not sure exactly what happened and, further, it's weird because after the test I still felt OK. I felt like I did well on everything else and didn't feel too terrible about blind guessing on essentially 10 questions.
Here's my question. My GPA is terribly low. It is a 2.75. I am an African-American male and I wanted to apply to Georgetown, Early Decision. What is the minimum LSAT score needed for me to have a good shot.
I define shot as they'll read my application in its entirety and at least seriously consider me.
Had I not guessed on that reading comp. section and that game I would've felt like it was my best performance on a test ever, for what it's worth.
The idea of canceling my score is floating around the periphery of my mind because even if I was on pace for a 177 score, which would easily be my best, then that's a -10 then, if I got all of them wrong and that would start me at a 167, no?
So what I'm asking I guess is does an African-American male with a 2.75, 160-165, 2 WE at a top law firm, pretty good resume, great recommendations (professors and partners, one of which attended GULC) stand a chance in the ED game? Or...should I cancel and retake in December and apply regular with, hopefully, a much better score?
Thanks in advance, all. I'm kind of just really down now.
