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!

I have my LSAC waivers which covers most schools I think.

Dude above, post your numbers, did you go to Hamp??

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!!)

wut?

if you mean percentile, its the 94.Xth

if you mean raw score, it doesnt mater at all.

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