Just got my third try score today of 171 for the December 2011 LSAT - I was (and still am) pleasantly astonished. Took 51 unique practice LSATs (ignoring the two real ones I took earlier). Thank God that work paid off.
So I want to know - do I have any chance with Berkeley? I REALLY want to go to a California school, and I'm thinking Stanford is an unlikely. What do you all think? UCLA? USC? Irvine?
I know most schools only look at the highest score, but that some average them if the scores are close enough - since I've taken the LSAT three times (and two of those were the same score), I'm uncertain if this would happen to me. Berkeley and UCLA are my top choices right now (Stanford too if I had a more reasonable chance with them).
No URM here. BUT my parents are from India (still doesn't count as URM, sadly

Planning on focusing on my trilingualism, technology background (MIS, among other stuff), district office experience, political science minor, and resilience in my personal statement. Oh, and my interest in international/comparative law, and perhaps some technology law too (perhaps mixed together?). Was interested in the anti-terrorism law stuff I saw in UCLA (I think it was UCLA).
Thanks in advance for any input/advice. Don't be too hard on me now, I just spent a solid year of self-loathing and mind-warping stress to get myself a better LSAT score.
