How much prep did you do?

How were you doing on practice tests?

Tell your story with precision, confidence and humility.

There are some great threads on LSAT prep on here. Retake.

[acfair]

Yeah, I studied, but not tremendously hard. I didn't take a prep class, and I only studied for about two weeks with any intensity.

Study better using resources here and maybe a class and do better. You almost certainly haven't maxed out your potential and even if you could get into the school you want now you won't get a scholarship. Picking your score up 5 points will change things enormously. 10 more points and you're living in a different galaxy. Nose to the grindstone.

+ 1. I wish I had done this.

There is your problem right there. The LSAT is incredibly learnable, but you need to put the work into it.

I don't mean to be a dick here, but you want to go to a T25 law school and you only put in two weeks of intense study?

Do yourself and that GPA a favor and commit yourself to this summer studying, get into the 160's in October and rock U-Minnesota.

Do the Powerscore Bibles, take a bunch of PTs, go over your wrong answers and retake in October. With a 167+ you'll be in good shape at UMN.

Yeah, not studying that hard was really dumb. I was doing my senior project and was just up to my ears in that and put off studying because of my project.

And this sounds really dumb, but I am just used to doing really well on tests without studying. I know that's stupid, but I am fessing up to it to explain my actions.

Hey at least you can own up to it.

I can't say I wasn't in the same boat the first time I took the LSAT. I was graduating and I have always owned standardized tests. The LSAT is just a different beast altogether.

[acfair]

Just registered for October. Wish I would have known about the Fee Waiver before I registered my first time.

With that GPA, if you post a decent LSAT, adcomms should let go your 1st score, especially considering your URM status. Study hard, and don't be afraid to invest in good studying-it can pay off big time in scholarships.

[acfair]

Thankfully, my tribe pays for my law school tuition, so scholarships aren't really a huge concern.
