Any chances at all? My counselor says the fact that I'm an international pageant title holder sets me apart from the pack.... I plan on retaking in June..I mis bubbled all of section 2, and didn't realize this until I had extra time in section 4 while checking over my answers... I didn't dare try and fix the correction...I've heard too many horror stories...... But I am really looking at Georgetown or George Washington... Any chances?

If you miss bubbled an entire section it's pointless to speculate on your shitty mistake score. Come back with a real one. No chance at GWU or Gtown without a retake.

Your counselor is not very wise. GT and GW are out probably even with a legit LSAT score, the GPA is too low.
wrong.

I guess we are ignoring the fact that you are explicitly told not to go back and check over answers durring the LSAT. Anyway, I agree with FUman. There is definitely hope if you retake and reaply. GW is splitter friendly and I am a case for that. Georgetown with an ED isn't that out of mind. This is assuming that you get in the 170+ range. Desert Fox can be a bit of a dick sometimes, but he is a realist and is right. Let us know when you have a legit score.

These schools are very possible, especially for a URM as long as they have a high LSAT to balance the low GPA.

I thought URM's got the LSAT accomodation not the GPA?
If not, I'm a d-bag, and I apologize for the fail at recommendation.
I still fail to see how a beauty pageant has to deal with a JD.

URM's with low LSAT/high GPA tend to do better than URM's with low GPA/high LSAT, however there is still somewhat of a boost for traditional splitters. It is just not as substantial. I'd also point out that GW and GULC-PT actually take sub3.0s who aren't URMs so your advice in general was not on point. No problem on the mistake though.
Schools like unique candidates with interesting backgrounds so that is why beauty pageant might be helpful (especially when it is one as competitive as Miss World).

OP what country did you compete for? This could make a difference in the boost you could get. Also, how long ago did you compete?

If you competed in Miss World then there's no need for a JD, just get your Mrs. Degree

Quoted for. The most common being QFT (quoted for truth) and, to a lesser extent, QFP (quoted for proof)

....I didn't flip back in the test booklet... I realized this when I was looking at all of the answers on my answer sheet. I realized that although I had gotten through all of the questions, I was still two answers short....Anyhow. Yeah I'll retake. Thanks for the advice everyone.
Oh and I competed in 2009....My country is US friendly.... I also have dual citizenship. I think with a 170+ maybe even a 168+ with ED to GWU possible Georgetown.... I'll be good....

so let me get this straight. you are banking on a 170 yet you answered all the questions on your last LSAT and yet still came up two filled-in bubbles short.
i can't be the only one reading this who LOLed.
