3.75/160
Hi all,
I have a 3.75 GPA from a top 30 undergraduate school where I majored in Politics, and I scored a 160 on my LSAT. I'm not an URM, but I have great LORs along with plenty of leadership experience in Greek life. What are my chances at Brooklyn, Cardozo, and Fordham?

You need to retake, too good of a GPA to waste on a 160, what did you do for prep first go around?BuffMasterFlex wrote:Hi all,

Also Greek life leadership is a joke. You should have been partying.

Very weak at Fordham (below 25th LSAT percentile), "better" at Cardozo (still weak--well below median LSAT) and "best" chance (still not a great one--just at 25th LSAT percentile) at BLS.
You've got a solid GPA. Retake is your best bet--for these schools and for better ones. Even if you manage to get into these schools, I doubt you'll get good scholarship money.

I had almost the exact same stats, retook, jumped my score up and ended up in a way better position. You have plenty of time, use it and retake! It's absolutely absolutely worth it.

I've got similar stats, and didn't get a lot of love from the NYC schools. I did have quite a few other options in the T30, with significant $$.... for some reason the NYC's didn't have much love for a reverse splitter.

+1. Retake in October. You have nothing to lose and a lot of $$$ to gain.Ruxin1 wrote:You need to retake, too good of a GPA to waste on a 160, what did you do for prep first go around?BuffMasterFlex wrote:Hi all,

Depending on your financial situation, there are two ways to go about it. You can sit out a full year, study for the LSAT and kill it this time. OR- You can apply this cycle and take the lsat in parallel, that way if you ended up not improving you're not sitting out an additional year.

Re: 3.75/160
In my opinion, the only school there you want to go to is Fordham. BLS and Cardozo are risky propositions.
Are you in NYC? There's a ton of good test prep companies there. Pick one, raise your score 5 or 6 points and get money from Fordham
