i know if i applied, i have a chance......thanks in advance for your help/advice/opinions

i guess i am wondering how my softs are going to affect my scores/grades....i feel like i am very strong in those areas (softs), so i was wondering how it all works together

thanks again.

In at Dayton, out at Ohio State and Cincy. The rest is a crap shoot but you have a good chance at getting in at least one of them with your softs.

That said, the advice you are going to get on these boards is to retake the LSAT. Softs will only take you so far. If you arent an URM and are below the 25% in both LSAT and GPA then the school might not even look at your softs. However, if you could improve even 2-3 points then your numbers begin to look a lot better and they might start to look at your softs a little harder.
