Top Law Schools

Hey, guys so I was wondering what lsat score would i need to get into these schools:

Miami (Dream school)
Georgetown (Dream school but i have connections to maybe get in)
American
Michigan State
Syracuse
Cal Western
Thomas Jefferson
Seattle U
Suffolk law
FIU Law
St Thomas (FL)
Pace Law

Also, I was also thinking about EDing at either Gtown or American. What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Dude wtf, your list sucks.

Did you just pick schools out of a hat??? Delete this and try again.

lol...im just trying to focus on the first 5....but if u wanna suggest some schools i should apply to please help

also....idk if i will have the stats to get into the top schools

Do you have any work experience?

If you ED it should be to Northwestern (if you do have WE) or UVA/Penn (if you don't), if you can make/exceed 170. But first you need to get that score. It's meaningless to try to pick schools without a score, since your score will entirely decide where you have a shot at.

Assuming you get a 170, you should not be applying to so many shitty schools. GULC would be a possibility, Midwestern schools ranked 20-35 are you best bets.

Just play around with the Lawschoolnumbers graphs if you're just starting.

I have a ton of work experience and i have been taking the practice test and have been consistently scoring b/t 169-172....but like i have an amazing resume in terms of work experience (and I'm only a jr in college lol)

If you get 170, ED to GTown Part Time.

Worthless, it has to be post graduate.

DF is right on GULC PT

And if he doesn't get in, he should get a job in DC, and try again the year after.

ok so i have no postgraduate WE....also what midwestern schools are you talking about specifically. FYI: my hometown is washington dc

If he's going to do something like this, he should live in VA for that year, even if he works in DC. That way when he reapplies to schools, he can apply to UVA in-state and have a much better shot at getting in.

D. H2Oman:

I was also looking at these schools

UVA
Fordham
GWU
UIUC

plus others

Very good point. That way he could to the UVA then Gtown double dip ED. AKA the waterman maneuver.

UVA is a long shot, your only real chance is to get VA residency.

Forget about Fordham.

GWU is a possibility

UIUC is one of the shameless LSAT whoring schools I was talking about. Others include, Minnesota, WUSTL, Indiana, Washington and Lee, Georgia, Wake Forest, George Mason, SMU.....etc

if u guys had to ED which school would I have a better chance a getting in?

With two years of W/E and at least a 170 (172 clinches it) - Northwestern

With a 170 Virgina state residency -UVA

With a 170 - Georgetown Part Time

what about a great school FT with a 170?

vanwinkle:

Isn't PENN a major reach for me?

Just transfer into the fulltime at Gtown after the first year. You'll still finish in three.

OP-what do you want to do/where do you want to do it? Your original list has you in about a half dozen different regions.

D-ROCCA:

Prosecutor/International law

In: the DMV area, NY, CA, FL, and other major cities.

any suggestions?

Bust your ass to raise your LSDAS GPA above 3.0. Since you haven't graduated, all coursework at community colleges will count towards your GPA. If I were in your shoes, I would take as many hours as I could fit into my schedule and afford. Some adcomms might not be too happy about your shameless efforts to raise your GPA, but others won't care because the only thing they report to the ABA are the final numbers (LSAT and GPA).
