3.7/163 - chances with military service? Forum

Wondering if anyone had any insight in to my application prospects. My scores above are very low for a T10 school, however wanted some insight to see if my "softs" can make up for it. I have a Masters in Nuclear Engineering (4.0, went part time) , undergrad Mechanical Engineering from a top state school, and finishing up 5 years active duty military service as a naval officer.

Any thoughts on my chances with the above? Do I absolutely need to take another shot at the LSATs? I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks.

If you want a shot at the T10 you should probably have at least a 168-169, and anything in the 170s will get in somewhere in the T10 for sure.

T10 is not going to happen. T14 is not going to happen. T20 is not going to happen. Aim for mid/low T1

I don't know whether the softs help or not, but you might want to retake.

I was right where you were around this time two years ago, I retook and got a 169.

I think that I got a small bump from the military experience (2 T14 acceptances and a T30 and no rejections). I think with one more point on the LSAT I would have cracked MVP. I did notice that I got in to all the schools that I interviewed for, the military helps a lot with interview skills as well as gives you something interesting to talk about.

Honestly, if I were you I would retake, definitely apply to Northwestern, and pray that you get into a high ranking state school, especially with blue ribbon or in the state that your initial contract was from or presently live in.

Thanks for your service, and good luck brother.

Thanks for the feedback, looks like I'll be taking another round of LSATs...

disagree.

T25 will bite.
