Here are my stats: 1 year good WE. 3.571 GPA from UW-Madison. 159 LSAT. Half-Iranian diversity statement.

Law school predictor gives me weak consider. Is this school even worth applying to?

I've already applied to a bunch of more realistic schools, BTW.

You're out. Apply if you really want to go though.

But LSP does say 30 percent were at or below my stats....

Look on Law School Numbers. They have a pretty firm LSAT wall.

I recommend a retake.

[St.Remy]

With that LSAT I really don't see it happening. But if you don't mind spending the money then why not? You miss 100% of blah blah blah.

Unless you have some amazing softs, you're pretty much an autoreject.

I got into 2 "weak considers" on lawschoolpredictor.com, with moolah, so I'm never one to authoritatively tell anyone that they are "out." So I guess my advice is this: if you have the money for the apps, then you just never know.

That said, I think the site generally does a better job than many out there and I'm a fan of it.

WUSTL is very conscious of their medians; with an average GPA and a (relatively) subpar LSAT, you're out. But if you can retake and bring that up to a 167, you're an auto-admit.

No, unless you retake and get a 167+.

[You Gotta Have Faith]

I will say that having *one* number higher than the median helps tremendously at splitter-friendly WUSTL. If you could get your GPA (somehow) up to 3.7+ by taking additional classes *or* get a 167, that would obviously help you a whole lot. The latter would help you a lot more, but the former would still help you.

Just as a side note this corresponds to about what WUSTL lists as their percentage of minority students.

Not to nitpick but I am pretty sure that includes all minorities, not just URM's.

I guess I didn't take this into account, good catch.
