Top Law Schools

A fairly typical "splitter" question:

I have a GPA in the low 3's from one of the top four liberal arts colleges in the U.S. I have been scoring between 172-178 on my practice LSATs (will take the test in October). Presuming I score in that range, what are my chances for getting into a T14 school?

Other possibly relevant info: wrote honors undergrad thesis, worked for a year in consulting firm, have good internships and volunteer activities, international experiences, etc.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Take the real test first. Trust me, PT's don't mean shit

True that.

Yes, I scored in that same range on my practice LSATs, and when I took the LSAT I felt that I had done equally well. In reality, I scored a 164. I was expecting 170 at least.

+1. Don't plan your app cycle before you have a score in hand.

100%... All you really need are some good PTs. Just write about them on the apps and you are golden.

Um, thanks all. I meant the question as a hypothetical. I'm well aware good PTs are not guarantees of a good actual test, just as I'm aware that the recommendations on TLS will not necessarily reflect reality. Gah.
