3.76 from Boston College

160 LSAT - 5 points lower than my average....

opinions on Northeastern/Cordoza p/t or any other suggestions

Retake, do not attend listed schools.

[curly3426]

can you give me a reason?

There's a pretty huge difference between a 160 and (if you think you can get it) 165 if you already have a 3.76 GPA.

Check out the difference here: http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-co ... ograms.htm

try 160/3.76 then change the LSAT score to 165. Huge.

I would definitely retake. How many times have you taken it?

[curly3426]

twice before... first time I got sick half-way through and cancelled... im not sure what happened on this test

[curly3426]

do I apply to all the schools I want and say another lsat will be coming? everything is all set, minus a score that reflects my true abilities

Somebody should confirm this, but I heard schools put your file in the bottom of the pile based on your previous score if you tell them to wait on a future score. Have you considered applying next cycle?

[curly3426]

that's not really an option for me

[curly3426]

i could just wait until Jan and send them off the second i get the score

[veragood]

you wouldn't be alone if you did that.
