Top Law Schools

I just received an LSAT score of 150. It is not a stellar score but I graduated from a prestigious public university with a 3.5 GPA. I have been in the working world for the last five years as a teacher and have a physical impairment. My question is twofold---does my impairment have, if any, positive influence on my application and what are my overall chances of admission to ASU law?

Thanks for any input......

No chance.

My gut says this is a retake situation.

Unless you live in Arizona, probably not gonna happen.

+1. But if you are a(n) URM, itty-bitty chance.

FTFY

Check out their past acceptances. It could definitely happen but you have to assume the small percentage of people they accepted with the OP's numbers were minorities. To have a legitimate shot, OP should retake.

Thanks for all the replies but I have further questions:

1. According to the profile my chances are small but not impossible which leads to another question--At ASU how much is admission predicated simply on the LSAT and GPA?

2. On average, what impact does a well-written and meaningful personal statement make up for the deficit on a lackluster LSAT score?

3. How much does ASU look to admit persons from universities other than ASU? Is there a listing to check the undergraduate background of current ASU students? Link anyone....

Thanks again.

Check out the numbers. Higher GPAs and higher LSATs get in. I applied last cycle to ASU with a 166 and the same GPA as you and got 35K over three years (in-state). Retake the test.

Personal statements might help to decide a tiebreak, but won't overcome a 150 LSAT.

I don't have any data on how they treat people who went to ASU undergrad, but any numbers you see will be horribly biased by self-selection.

Edit: I still tend to think the above is true, but I admittedly didn't fully observe or respond to your original question OP. It is true that if you have a heck of a story to tell (good softs) it can make a difference. Unfortunately I don't think that difference is enough to give a major boost (which you would need to get ASU with your current numbers) unless it was a Nobel Prize type of soft.

Edit: no need for the cross out on my part (re: poster who said maybe some chance if AZ resident). I don't think that is accurate, but you do have some relatively unique circumstances working for you. But get that LSAT up to high 150s/low 160s and I think you will be very competitive.
