Loyola Law (sticker)? Hastings (13K p/year scholly)? Retake

Post by publicinterest8 » Tue Apr 29, 2014 10:33 pm

URM here (Latino), 158 LSAT & 3.0 LSAC GPA. Public service 3+ years, interested in public interest law, and LGBT.

Got into Loyola with no money, Hastings is offering me 13K per year, and I was waitlisted at UCLA. I took the Dec LSAT and because my job requires odd hours outside of M-F 9-5, I wasn't able to study my weaknesses and retake for Feb. I'm considering retaking because I think I can score well into the 160s.

Any thoughts?

Definitely retake, none of these schools are worth it at those prices

calling BS on your results. Don't know how you got 13k a year at Hastings but nothing at loyola. Especially with a meager 158. Hastings medians are higher than Loyola. Your gpa aint helping either. Story doesn't add up boss

The post is 9 months old. It's not worth bumping. Plus, it's a URM, and Hastings says they give out financial aid based on need and last year I believe that was usually 13K.

Please don't post if this is what you're bringing to the table
