Your opinions needed Forum

If the school I am applying for accepts applicants in the 154-160 range and I scored 157 with a 3.10 GPA, (3.20 is their 25% range) what do you think my chances are. Thanks for your opinions.

What do you mean by "accepts applicants in the 154-160 range" ? Is that the middle 50% range, or the entire range of accepted students. Also, what is the school's median LSAT score ?

Assuming you're quoting the 25/75 range, your chances are effectively zero, since the school's median is almost certainly going to be 158-159.

Thanks for the quick response. The median LSAT score is 158 and the Median GPA is 3.5.

Retake or aim lower.

Wow, you guys are spot on. Bummers! What advice would you give me to help improve my chances. Thanks again.

Do you think that if I had good work experience and was a bit older than the average applicant that would help in their decision?

[im_blue]

No, because GPA < 25th percentile and LSAT < median = auto-rejection.

Thanks much. I guess I have to think more on what to do.

Better to apply & know for certain.

I guess after some thought I will apply. If I get a denial I can always try again next year. I hope that I do have a chance and it will happen for me.

Retake bro.

P.S. The 154 to 160 was the range of accepted students.

That range is meaningless. Just tell us the school.
