Puerto Rican 167 No GPA

Post by angflos » Thu Nov 01, 2012 6:39 pm

Hey Guys,

I just took the LSAT for the first time and scored 167 in October. My goal was 170 so that is a bit disappointing since I was VERY close. I went to Hampshire College so I have no GPA. I think I'll have strong LORs and softs (I was approved for fee waivers at Stanford and LSAC so I'm pretty poor.) Anyone wanna take a guess what my chances are?

Thanks.

T14 and down. But e mail schools and ask for waivers. If you got an LSAC waiver, and I believe those are difficult to get, you should have no trouble getting a need based waiver from most schools. Good luck.

MA URM with no GPA. You're pretty much as close to my competition as it gets. ;)

That said, good luck!

what percentage was your score of 167? That matters a little bit too.

94th percentile, I think its more like 94.5, since 168 is 96th (I was so damn close to my 170 goal!!)

No, but similar situation -- another east coast school that didn't give grades.
