Here are a few details about me:
-my sole LSAT score was 174 from Oct. 2010, while my cumulative undergrad. GPA was 3.16 (and I went to mediocre UW-Milwaukee, graduating January 2010). My GPA did increase fairly steadily throughout college, with my final 2 semesters being about 3.7 and 3.8, respectively (and I did not take particularly easy classes, either). If you might find it helpful, consider checking out this graph I made of my GPA by semester, which also includes averages of my first and last four semesters: http://www.chartgo.com/share.do?id=01da59feaa
-I am totally fluent in Spanish (it was also my undergrad. major), having traveled significantly in Latin America (visiting seven different countries). I worked as a paid journalist in Venezuela for a semester, and I have also worked as an official interpreter for unemployment compensation hearings.
-Since my graduation I have worked as a paralegal for a public interest law firm dealing primarily with Spanish speaking clients. I previously worked for 7 years for a highly rated employment/civil rights attorney in Milwaukee.
-I did a significant amount of progressive political organizing during college, founding and leading several student & community organizations which received over $150,000 in grant money under my leadership. I am also the secretary of the Executive Committee of a large statewide anti-war organization which has over 1000 paid members, and have served on the board for the past 6 years.
(-With regards to Michigan, both my father and grandfather went to law school there -- I have no clue if that impacts the likelihood of admittance or not but I thought I'd mention it).
Thanks for anyone who is willing and able to give me a sense of what my odds might be!
