163/ 3.8 UG GPA with a Master's in Economics: T14?
Hi, trying to get an idea of where I can realistically apply. I was disappointed with my LSAT score, getting around a 170 consistently on practice tests, but ending up with a 163. I had a 3.8 GPA as an undergrad, and also got a master's degree(economics) paid for from the same school via a student research assistant program. Do I have any shot at any of the T14 schools based on these scores? Also, what about the following schools: George Washington University, Fordham, and University of Washington. Thanks everyone

Do you have any significant work experience? Assuming the master's will be a soft factor, mylsn should provide a good starting point:

In terms of work experience, I got a job as an undergrad through a professor of mine who worked at a National Transportation Research Center (The Center for Urban Transportation Research), working 20 hours a week. I then continued that in Grad school, which that program paid for. So I've been working part time as a research assistant for the past 4 years, but other than that, I have no real work experience.

Not retaking the LSAT would be the biggest mistake of your life. I'm not exaggerating.

The single best thing you can do in terms of "chances and choices" is to retake the LSAT and try to get a score that's commensurate with your uGPA (or better). Right now, you've got a T14 uGPA, but your LSAT is more appropriate to schools in the 20s-30s.
