What's so bad about Northeastern?

And what would be the minimum LSAT score I need for BC / BU?

I've been out of school for two and a half years with great work experience...

Other than the solid chance of ending up unemployed/underemployed/hilariously indebted, nothing really.

You're gonna want a 166 or 167 to have a shot.

I don't necessarily agree with this - I think you have a shot, just not a very good one. If you really show a commitment to Boston, I know of someone with lower numbers that got a late acceptance. Emphasize your last 3 years in your PS/Resume. Of course, your chances would highly improve if you retook the LSAT.

So... what?

If you do get in with those numbers, enjoy hilarious debt. Retake ASAP.
