3.45 GPA 169 LSAT OSU $? Forum

[step1plus2]

So the June 2010 LSAT was my first take, and I got a 169 (which is a few points lower than my PTs, but not too bad.) I think I'll probably retake in October for an outside shot at T14, but I'm also considering the Ohio State University Moritz college of law (I'm an OSU undergrad, I've always lived in Columbus, and I would love to have a career here.) I know that as things stand now (3.45 UGPA, econ/poli-sci, one year of undergrad left) I have a pretty good shot at being accepted into Moritz, but I was wondering if anyone with experience knows what kind of numbers are needed for some of the merit based scholarships they offer. Am I in the general range, or am I going to need a lot of improvement in my numbers to get there?

You have a shot at the T14 as it is. I have a 3.45/168 and will be attending Cornell in the fall. I was waitlisted at Columbia, Michigan, Northwestern, and Georgetown. I don't know about OSU specifically, but basically every school I was accepted to (all T30) gave me money, between $10K-$20K, so I think you should definitely get money there.
