Top Law Schools

I applied super late 3/1 because I didn't take the LSATs until February. I have a 3.49 gpa and a 156 LSAT score. I also have a Masters degree from UC Berkeley.

I applied to:
USC (applied before I realized how low my LSAT score was)
UC Hastings (same as USC)
Loyola LA
University of San Francisco
Santa Clara University
Chapman University

obviously I want/need to stay in Cali.

Hate to break it to you, but you're def dinged at USC / UC Hastings / LLS.

A lot of the remaining 3 is going to depend on how desperate these schools get after they get their matriculating numbers.

I'd say youre WL'd at USF and Chapman, and dinged at Santa Clara.
One of USF / CHapman may come through for you very late, but I'd be prepared to wait it out until June or July.

If I were you, I would retake, get up into the mid 160s and reapply. With a 163+, you'd get nearly a full ride at Chapman, and big money from LLS. If you can poke up into the high 160s (168+), and apply MUCH earlier next year, you could have a chance at USC.
