I was going to make a joke about Brett Favre's penis-size, but instead I'll just go with this: you're dumb.

Some T-14 will bite, assuming you can produce a well-crafted PS and don't have a vanilla background, but knowing which one is a crapshoot.

AA can easily have that pronounced an effect.

You need to retake the lsat.

That being said, as of now you have a shot at NYU and Michigan, and UVA, georgetown, cornell, Duke. The chances are not good enough to not retake however.
