Retake. If not, decent chance of making it in but wouldn't be surprised by a rejection. Also, they are massively expensive so where do you want to work? If you could go to some public school I would try and do that.

It is past the point where I can re-take the LSAT, and I am not sure I would want to because I do not do well on standardized tests. As far as the monetary concerns that isn't an issue.mpj_3050 wrote:Retake. If not, decent chance of making it in but wouldn't be surprised by a rejection.

With the 154 you're really leaving it to chance.

Probable WL. Even if you do get in, it's a good thing you have money, because literally Miami and South FL is a festering hellhole of legal employment.gb87 wrote:3.6 UGPA, 154 LSAT, and a MA degree. What are my odds at getting in?

I don't mean to be an ass but by money not being an issue do you mean a) I have tons saved/family help; or b) Money isn't an issue because I will do well and make it work?rad law wrote:Probable WL.

There is a huge difference between the two and I hope it is option A. Rad Law is right, good chance of a wait list.

I'm sorry but I find this comment to be slightly offensive. The user asked a question and I answered it and thanked him for the concern that I may be in over my head. You do not know me, what I have done with my life, or how hard I have worked for it. I appreciate your concern as to not fall into the under-achiever stereotype, but please keep these comments to yourself.BlueDiamond wrote:There's nothing worse than a kid with a rich daddy who underperforms throughout his life and then is an ass on top of it... don't be that guygb87 wrote:I mean option A mpj_3050.

154.. it's your life I'm just bringing you back to reality.. if you have enough money to not have to pay for school.. you have enough to get a minimum of 160 on the LSAT.. I was noting that we could do without the pretentiousness after giving you advice.. so take the advice and use it or gtfo.. It's been said you're a WL at Miami but probably shouldn't go anyway.. /threadgb87 wrote:I'm sorry but I find this comment to be slightly offensive.

Re: 3.6/ 154 for Univ of Miami?
I'm really surprised by the ignorance present on some of these posts. Having money doesn't have much to do with one's performance on the LSAT. I speak from personal experience. I spent a lot of money on prep materials and a prep course. I worked my ass off and got a mere 154. The truth of the matter is that some people just have it...they know how to control their test anxiety and are just great at standardized exams.
In my opinion, this exam is complete and utter bullshit. It means nothing. Unfortunately, it gives assholes the opportunity to brag and make others believe they aren't good enough.

+1. for some reason people are always so vigilantly against taking credible advice just because it doesn't jive with their expectationsrad law wrote:albabrunettebabe wrote: In my opinion, this exam is complete and utter bullshit.

Found out this morning that I was accepted, so I guess a 154 was good enough with my letters of rec and transcripts =)
