Cross-posting from Chances: 159/3.33 Mexican

So basically I was PT'ing in the mid 160's very consistently, but a combination of one of the reading comprehension passages and the stained glass windows resulted in a less than favorable December LSAT.
LSAT: 159
GPA: 3.33 (3.56) Extreme upward trend
Major: Management Operations
URM: Mexican
Softs: Lots of community service, very little work experience
Great letters of recommendation and a pretty good Diversity Statement
I have applied to the following schools, and I desperately need a little reassurance that I will at least get into one of them so I can sleep at night (I am not kidding). I applied to all the T14's that I got fee waivers to but I know what everyone will say already. Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend hedging your bets by retaking and reapplying early next cycle.

I would say you wouldn't get flat out rejected at the ones I didn't mark. If you don't plan on retaking or holding off a year to get your GPA up, then make sure your PS and DS are very good. You can send me them if you like. Suerte

I happen to think you'll get into a number of those schools. Though later in the cycle does make it harder, I am learning this firsthand.
Also, sent you a PM.

So I am a non-URM Latino I guess (Dominican) and I got into BC, BU, Fordham and waitlisted at Vandy with a 160, 3.3. SO I would say you do have a shot at least.

Retake. Get that up to a 165 and you are looking at a lot of scholarship money, plus a better shot at the T14.

That is comforting to hear, I hope I have similar success
