i posted this in another forum but thought i'd get more responses here.

upward grade trend, 4 years of work experience

where do i stand for the following schools:

st. john's
brooklyn
cardozo
fordham

thanks in advance.

you will get into all but fordham, which will put you on their endless waitlist. You should get some money from the first two, but Cardozo is something of a crapshoot. I had nearly your same numbers and decided on William and Mary with a $8000 a yr scholly. Good luck

[Stringer6]

suppose i get a full ride to st. john's, some $ at brooklyn, no money at cardozo but in, and WL at fordham.

what would you all do?

i'm not retaking the LSAT.

I'd reconsider my options if I were you. NYC has a oversaturated legal market if you havent heard. I would attend law school in region where I could actually get a job. But of the three- St. Johns. They are all of similar caliber with the exception of Fordham.

Life decisions:

Retaking LSAT and getting into Fordham >>>>> Cardozo / Brooklyn w/ $ >> St. John's

Although I suppose Brooklyn w/ big $$ wouldn't be too bad

to make a retake worthwhile, i'd have to score 170+, and I have zero confidence I can do that on test day. i studied LG for 4 months and still got bushwacked on test day.

How did you study? Did you take a class, or prepare on your own?

[Stringer6]

class and on my own. i studied really hard. i got as high as a 170 and 172 on PTs, but on test day i ran into LGs that i couldn't do. no reason to think that won't happen again.
