Hi TLS!
I am an international student at NYU, with an lsac GPA of 3.65, with a major upward trend, though not URM. What lsat score would I need to get a shot at t14?
Thanks!

Don't do that. Don't give me hope, haha.
Would my chance be good (around 50%) for getting into any T14 if I get a 170? Or would I have to get to around 175 for any good chance?
Thank you, LSAT Aang!

I mean he’s right, though. Go look at Cornell’s stats to see how your numbers compare and work your way up from there. Your GPA is low for the T14 but it’s not abysmal so you can counteract it with a good LSAT, but you’d probably want to be above the 75th percentile.
Besides, what are you going to do, study only until you’re getting a 170 and then stop? Study and see what your best score is and then see where your numbers can take you.

Haha, true! I was just having major doubts of whether I should continue to apply for law schools, since my GPA is really quite low, and international student like myself need big law to practice in the US.
Thanks Nixy!
