Which region do you want to work in?

Back home in DC, new england, or just on the east coast.

+1

Those are both very regional schools. Do you want to spend the next 10-15 years in MI or upstate NY? (Forget NYC with Syracuse...)

[darrionwillis]

not really.....maybe spend the next 10-15yrs back home in DC, MD, or VA...

Retake/reapply.

[thexfactor]

i would say retake + reapply + re evaluate places that you would like to work. It is hard to break into the DC market. Try for a secondary market like Pitt, Cleveland or Denver.

what schools would you suggest?

My stats:

3.0 170

That's a decent LSAT. Did you apply to UMD, W&M, W&L, GW, etc?

EDIT: How late did you apply?

WTF?????
Why are you even wasting time with these 2 schools. Apply to WUSTL next cycle and get a full scholarship.....

With those numbers, you should really be looking at T30 schools. I am not sure, but BC/BU might be a possibility.

[pkpop]

With your stats, I wouldn't go to either of those unless you're getting full-ride, or at least a lot of money. At least for MSU, you're wayyy above the 75th LSAT, but just barely under the 25th for GPA. Try to get money out of them, but you could definitely get into better schools than those two if you can put together a solid application.

Odds per LSP:

Consider:
Washington & Lee
George Washington
William & Mary
Maryland
Temple (if willing to live in Philly)

Strong Consider:
Wake Forest
Villanova (if willing to live in Philly)

Admit:
Penn State (if willing to live in Central PA)
Pittsburg (if willing to live in Pitt)

cool thanks....anyone else have a list that's like blowhard's?

[holydonkey]

Why have you started three threads on this? You haven't even taken the LSAT.

In this thread you claim you have a 170. In the other thread you say you have URM status.

This is a troll or just really really weird.
