You already asked the exact same thing in your other thread. Use LSP and LSN. Out at 'Dozo and Fordham, WL at Brooklyn.

I'd toss some apps to St. John's and Rutgers-N as well. You may consider writing a diversity statement to maximize your URM boost. Good luck.

The predictor is pretty accurate for most applicants, but it loses reliability for URM and splitter candidates. You could go either way. This is why a retake and strong DS/PS/LORs are important in your case. Apply for an LSAC waiver and cast your net broadly too. Don't leave anything to chance.

A little, but not much. If you really want 'Dozo I'll save you the trouble of reading the rest of TLS' responses.

Any consistent work experience looks good, and that's probably better than average. I worked at Old Navy after college. The only major factor in your control now is your LSAT score, so retake it if possible. That's pretty much the standard advice on this site.

Bear in mind that Cardozo is an expensive school and COL is killer too. I'd lump Brooklyn/Cardozo/St. John's together for job prospects. You may want to go to the cheapest of the schools if the end results are indistinguishable. Fordham, for some people, is definitely worth the extra price. It all depends on your goals and aversion to debt, but before you get too far ahead of yourself, you need to bring up that LSAT score.

what kind of score should i be aiming for to get into the part time program...... at any of those 3 schools...

[megaTTTron]

I got into BLS PT, WL's at BLS FT, WL'd at Dozo FT, and rejected at Fordham PT w/ a 159/ 3.77. Which I guess is absolutely no help to you whatsoever.

Just study your ass off. Six more points on the LSAT and you'll have a shot at a ride at 'Dozo.
