Is 3.85 gpa high enough for HLS if I score well on LSAT?

Post by bc2578 » Fri Jul 03, 2015 10:56 am

I know scoring well on LSAT is extremely difficult, but at least I would like to give a shot if my gpa is not too low that I don't even have a slight chance to get accepted to. I am expecting to graduate with 3.85~ish gpa. Is it okay or is it considered too low? I would greatly appreciate your input!

Consensus from most people is that over 3.8 is good, with the obvious caveat that those schools care more about the entirety of your transcript than most. Depending on exigent circumstances you'd want a mid 170s score on the LSAT to be very competitive.

Get a 173 and you'll be fine. 174 definitely in

Check mylsn.info


FWIW, I got a 3.87/173 and then got in off the waitlist.

Median is 3.87 and may shift a bit when new stats come out for the entering class. You'll be fine.
