3.85 gpa for MBA, 3.65 gpa B.S in Business, 163 LSAT
I also worked all 6 years I was in college. Do I have a chance of getting into a top 20 school?

Unless URM, no. I have the same stats almost, and spent a full year making my PS perfect, and I'm being shot down left & right.annab wrote:I also worked all 6 years I was in college. Do I have a chance of getting into a top 20 school?
It's all stats for Law School.......

3.65/163 isn't getting T20. MBA is a soft and that doesn't really count as WE. Sorry dude.annab wrote:I also worked all 6 years I was in college. Do I have a chance of getting into a top 20 school?

True, but that only includes full time post-grad. Working during school is worth nearly nothing.krad wrote:Sadly not enough to make up for your LSATannab wrote:To FuManChusco:

Re: 3.85 gpa for MBA, 3.65 gpa B.S in Business, 163 LSAT
OP is likely out at all of those. last year, only one person got into any of those schools within OP's range of numbers on LSN. It was a girl who had a 3.6x GPA, but had eight surgeries early on in college and had a 4.0 every semester after the surgeries. I seriously doubt OP gets into any of those schools with a 163.CanadianWolf wrote:Chance at USC, WashUStL & GWU of the Top 20.

LSN is not comprehensive as it represents only a very small percentage of applicants. Most law school applicants probably do not know that LSN exists.

I hate when people make this argument, sure, it's not comprehensive, but it's pretty damn accurate. Sure, OP has a chance at those schools, but that chance is SLIM.CanadianWolf wrote:LSN is not comprehensive as it represents only a very small percentage of applicants.

Don't act stupid. I hate it when people say that LSN is a small sample as part of an argument about whether or not a person has a chance at a certain school. Because, that isn't really relevant. Generally, if you are out according to LSN, you are out IRL. LSN is pretty damn accurate for the vast majority of applicants. Trying to discredit that to make inferences about someones chance, which is backed by zero evidence, is just stupid.

Canadian Wolf - How bout you actually make YOUR argument. 3.65 163 non-URM with an unextraordinary MBA is not going to get you top 30, and definitely not top 20... I'm sure everyone is wondering what your angle is.

My angle ? The OP should apply. According to the above advice, OP should just type his numbers into LSN or lawschoolpredictor.com & abide by that tiny sampling. Why even fill out applications ? If it was that simple, then admissions officers would be replaced by computers & decisions would be instantaneous.

You may "hate" it, but you can't deny the small size of the sample pool. For example, Fordham had 8,843 applications last year. On LSN, Fordham had 536 data points. you're telling me this is "pretty damn accurate?"Patriot1208 wrote:I hate when people make this argument, sure, it's not comprehensive, but it's pretty damn accurate.

I'd say it's pretty damn self selecting, and an average metric at best.

Refer to previous posts, it isn't the end all, but it is well beyond "average" for the average white applicant.BrownBears09 wrote:You may "hate" it, but you can't deny the small size of the sample pool.

... Well it is technically a chance I guess, although we're probably talking less than a 5% chance here so I wouldn't want to get the OP's hopes up. That being said, yeah sure apply, a 5% chance is a 5% chance.

lol, offer me something that disproves that statement. I may only have anecdotal evidence, but there is STRONG anecdotal evidence that backs up my point. You just have wishes and dreams, nothing substantial. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that LSN isn't indicative of the average applicants cycle.BrownBears09 wrote:Refer to previous post.
