Big LSAT GPA Drop! Help! Forum

[Erickt26]

My stats where the following Cumm GPA=3.24 Degree GPA=3.45

After the LSAC calculated the GPA it was Cumm GPA=3.02 Degree GPA=3.45

I am very worried. If I can pull a 165 can I still get into a school like Loyola Law school?

You're in luck! There is very little practical difference between 3.24 and 3.02. Either way you'll need a 170 to make law school worth it.

To put this in context, once you're below a school's 25%, it doesn't matter how far down you are except for psychological reasons on the person evaluating your transcript. Their numbers are affected the same by anyone below their numbers. You're above a 3.0, which is an important psychological threshold to break.

If you pull a 165, you should have a pretty decent shot at Loyola, as you'd be above their 75% for LSAT and that's more important to them than GPA.

Don't go in there with a 165 as your goal

Because the maximum score is 180. Kobe's goal is to get a ring every season, not just make the playoffs, bro.

Ok. Here's my deal I took Blueprint twice average score is 154. I studied for four months. As of now, I have two full months with no job, so I can study all day. I'm very dedicate but easily get distracted. Is a 170 truly possible?

With all honesty is it? I am willing to take October and December lsat if the answer is yes....lol.

There are countless people on these forums with a 170 or above, myself included (170 on test day never beat 169 in practice if that's any inspiration).

It is. What did you do? How did you study? How many hours per day and for how long? Any tips?

Just read the threads in the LSAT prep forum dude. It's all there.

And if you have any questions on prepping after taking a BP course/integrating our course and materials with other materials, just shoot me a PM. I've helped many of my students post-class study for a second LSAT, so I've got many tips on how to make the best use of your time.
