Tulane is a favorite, but I was curious which other schools I would have a chance of getting into. Also, how big a factor quality undergrad plays into it all, especially in relation to GPA.

Gpa: 3.37
LSAT: testing around 163, looking to get to 168+
Undergrad: Univ. Of Michigan

Come back when you have an actual score so ppl can more accurately gauge your chances. There is a world of a difference between a 163 and a 168, and people typically score lower on the the real deal than PTs (myself included). You'd have a strong shot at Tulane with a 3.37 and a 163, however. Quality undergrad is rarely if ever a game-changer.

lolwut?

But for OP, I cannot tell you how important it is to do AS WELL AS POSSIBLE on the LSAT. More points means more options, more money, and most important, much better job prospects at higher schools. Study your ass off, do well, and some back with your actual score.
