High GPA 164 LSAT....Takeover?????
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:10 pm
I got a 3.86 GPA, 164 LSAT. I am thinking about taking the LSAT over. What would you do in my situation?
I scored 171 on a couple of PTs but I also scored very low on just as many high 150s. As I took more PTs my score did seem to improve but I had resolved that my LSAT could go either way.
The main reason I would like to take over the LSAT is because of the section in which I missed the most questions.
Total missed = 19
LG = 1
LR1 = 2
LR2 = 6
RC = 10
Granted the RC for the June 2011 test was hard but -10 seems like an outlier. I had never missed ten on any practice tests. In fact the most I had missed was 6 on about 15 or so PTs. And before I received my score I had thought that RC was one of my strongest sections.
But, I was never very comfortable with LR; I couldn't grapple with the stimuli like others, so it was always a crapshoot as the wide gulf between my two LR sections exemplifies.
LG was always my strongest point.
Should I just eat up my LSAT score, apply early, depend on my high GPA, my summa cum laude B.A, and a good personal statement?
Would anyone retake?
Given what I have written, what are the chances of going up/down?
Thank you.
