GPA 3.6, LSAT 162 Forum

[ellens]

Contemplating a retake but looking at my stats at the moment...

GPA 3.6
LSAT 162
Private Liberal arts in NY (in UG right now)
Asian
Jobs, volunteers, and internships since I was 13
involvement in cultural organizations and some charity benefit work

I'm wondering what my chances are for Georgetown and William and Mary?

Thanks in advance!

--edit!

Suggestions for other schools on the east coast would be much appreciated!

0% for Georgetown, almost 0% for William and Mary. You'll need at least a 165 (ideally a 166) to be competitive at W&M and probably a 170 or 171 for GULC. You have a decent GPA so I would definitely consider retaking to kinda even things out for a more predictable cycle.

lawschoolpredictor.com. Even with an URM boost(if this had applied to you), really no shot at G-town.

best you can do is GW or Fordham if you get lucky....
Id say GW/Fordham- 25%
Since you are asian i would say 25% chance for WM. They dont really have a lot of asians there.
I think you will get into Wake if you are interested in that school.....
25% chance for UNC too.

Dont even bother applying to GULC... unless you can cure cancer in the next 3 months...

No way for GW. GW is an LSAT whore.

Thanks guys.. I guess that cinches my decision to retake.. I'm PTing at 170 right now but i'm guessing i need at least a 175 to be competitive at gulc?

You probably don't need THAT high of a score, I bet a 170-172 would give you pretty decent odds at GULC, and make you basically a lock at Cornell.
