3.64/169 - Reapplying next cycle Forum

[wokeemilo]

So, I retook the LSAT in June and got a 169 (up from 161)! Going to reapply next cycle. I've checked LSP and LSN to check out my stats, but wanted to know anyone's opinions of my chances/money at...

Cornell EA
Notre Dame
BU
BC
Fordham
GWU

I think you have a pretty good shot at Cornell EA with an early application. You should get in all the others...here's my LSN, pretty similar stats (also retook from 161), from 2009-10 cycle.

Reach a bit for Duke, Michigan & Penn if they are of interest to you. The above poster had a 168 & a 3.66 and was not accepted by Duke or Michigan. It will be interesting to see if an extra LSAT point & a slightly higher GPA can open those doors. Good luck !

thanks! yeah, i definitely think michigan's a steep reach, but might ED there and see what happens (i have a small family connection).

thanks for posting your lsn ndirish2010. i'm really hoping for cornell EA and am thinking of visiting if it'll increase my chances. gpa's a bit weak, but we'll see.

Make sure you add Vandy/Texas/UCLA/USC to that list.

I had a 3.4/169 and applied to Vandy since they gave me a fee waiver... they bit on me with good $. Waitlisted at ND. In at BU/BC/GWU with less money. Withdrew from Cornell since it would have been sticker. I recommend tossing apps at Michigan and WUSTL (pretty much as 'peer' as it gets to GWU and ND)

thought about UCLA and USC, but i really don't want to live/practice in socal. also have never ventured out south, so i was kind of avoiding that area too ha...but perhaps i should expand my reach!
