165/3.52 Am I kidding myself or do I have a chance? Forum

[AKenter]

Hello. My LSAT score is a 165 and my GPA is a 3.52. I am just curious what people think my chances are at the following ten schools where I will be applying. Thanks for your help, here is the list:

University of Minnesota
University of Indiana - Bloomington
William and Mary
University of Wisconsin
Ohio State
George Mason
University of Connecticut
University of Pittsburgh
Temple University
University of Maine

Besides Minnesota, I think you'll get into nearly all these schools.

You're in with money at the majority of that list.

Thank you for your kind comment, but are you sure? With the exception of the last three my GPA is under the median everywhere else. MY LSAT is pretty good, but there are quite a few people who pull 160s that I will have to compete with. My main concern is whether or not I should add a few more schools in the 30s and 40s range in order to have a better chance of acceptance at a 30s/40s caliber school.

It's much more important to hit the median LSAT than the median GPA, so you should apply to every school with a 165 median or lower, that you're interested in attending.
