155 last 3.4 gpa AA male

Post by 47802ejefferson » Tue Oct 15, 2019 8:36 pm

Please help. I recently took the lsat and got a 155. I was wondering what my odds are of getting into schools like USC and UCLA. I am an aa male and am majoring in Econ with a 3.4 gpa. I plan to submit applications in February.

It's possible, but I think it's unlikely. Best advice is to retake and aim for the 160s.

Of course, if you hit the 160s, you'll likely have better options than UCLA (depending on your desired career) that are also available to you. MyLSN indicates there's a pretty narrow window where the T20 seems to go from closed to open for AA applicants with a decent GPA.
