3.9/165 Forum

[emoney8907]

Like many others, my goal/dream is a T14 law school, but I am handicapped by a low LSAT (165).
My GPA is good (3.9 at a T25 university - both LSDAS GPA and school GPA, and major GPA as a matter of fact).
My softs, LOR, and personal statements are good but nothing spectacular.
What are my chances, realistically? I know HYSCCN are impractical with a 165, but do I stand a chance with Michigan, Berkeley, Duke, Cornell, and Georgetown?
Thanks for all inputs.

I will apply ED to Michigan, EA to Cornell, and regular to Georgetown, Berkeley, and Cornell. (out of the T14s)
Any advice on my chances? Any input will be greatly appreciated.
And as FYI, I am not a URM.
Also Michigan resident, if that makes any difference.

ED to UVA or retake. Best shot at T14.

To be honest my PTs are around the 168 range so I'm not sure a retake will even help that much.
Any chance at Berkeley? Heard they take a lot of reverse splitters.

You've got a shot, but ED to UVA would be a lot more likely with your numbers.
