3.68 GPA - LSAT Score Needed for Top 20 Schools?
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 11:54 pm
I am a junior at the University of Minnesota majoring in Latin and political science, applying to law schools in the fall. I have a 3.68 GPA (currently 3.66, but taking two courses at the local community college this summer, which should both result in As). I am hoping you all can give me a reasonable LSAT score range to aim for when I take the test this October (I am seeking to get into ANY top 20 school). I took the June test today, but I BOMBED the LG section, so retesting in October is a given.
Softs:
-Summa cum laude candidate. Due to maintaining a 3.75+ GPA since sophomore year, I can graduate summa granted my thesis is ultimately approved.
-Skin cancer survivor, which I plan on incorporating into my personal statement.
-Excellent work experience. Work-study position as a clerk in a legal aid office (1.75 years); internship with U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar; position as summer day camp counselor leading students in community service projects (2.5 years - generally only goes to those with teaching licenses, but was given position as I had logged 500+ hours of community service as a youth leader for the organization).
-Identify as LGBT (I don't know if this means anything, I assume not).
Thank you.
