Transfer student LSAT score interview

I'm an incoming transfer at a T6 school. Just wondering if I should expect questions about my LSAT score and undergrad GPA (not on my resume) during firm interviews? Obviously, my LSAT score and GPA is much longer than my classmates (hence why I wasn't at a T6 to begin with).

If the topic does come up, should I just provide my score and leave it at that, or should I try and rationalize why it's less than outstanding?

I got asked for my LSAT at all of my screening interviews during 2L OCI, and the judge actually took me into chambers to discuss it before swearing me in for the bar. Every time I've switched legal jobs it's come up with at least one person I interview with as well.

No one will ask for your LSAT. If you get that question, its rare.

Highly unlikely that your LSAT will be asked for. You're at a T6 now, you did well 1L year -- your LSAT doesn't matter anymore (except for judges like Kleinfeld). Also unlikely firms would care about your performance in undergrad, unless you are trying to go into IP.
