3.85 / 162 - BC? Forum

[sampan]

I realize the 162 hurt me, but hey, I busted my balls and that's what it got me.

Really hoping on getting into BC. Spent a lot of time and effort on my PS and I have a solid undergrad record, albeit at a state school.

What you guys think??

edit: I think I should note my crowning achievement on my application. I was chosen as a one of five Student Fellows to my college. We basically represent the school, attending open houses for prospective students and talk about our experience the the university. It's pretty cool I think....perhaps my bumper???

Bust your balls more. Retake.

Could you really see yourself spending 200k for a small chance at Big Law?

Do you know what it would be like trying to repay those debts with a 30-60k job?

this is a "what are the chances?" not a "should i go" forum....

why won't anyone just address the chances I have at this state....

obviously I can always take them again, but I want to know what this 162 does for me before I spend time and money on taking another LSAT

You can look at LSN yourself

165 is the magic number. You have a shot according to the graph. But don't go without retaking. Do not waste that GPA. And I'm sure you have other achievements you can emphasize other than being a patsy for your UG's admissions office. This isn't to be rude but its not going to help you outperform your numbers.

With your current stats, your chances are decent (like 1/4-1/3), but 3 more points changes everything. With a 165, youd probably get in with a legit scholarship.

Consider UMN. Your stats are in their sweet spot.

Thank you guys. Looks like I do have a shot. I also played collegiate sports, hopefully that's another kicker....

Crossing my fingers!!!

What is this being based off of? LSP suggests a very good shot, and mylsn.info with 162 plugged in an 3.8-3.9 as the GPA range suggest his chances are much better than 1/3 based on the last couple of years. Combine this with the fact that the medians will likely decline, and I'd guess his chances are better than 1/3. Of course, everyone is correct in saying 3 more points do make him an auto-admit with a scholarship.

EDIT: Sample size is small on mylsn.info...extended years and chances are lower.

I would hope I have around a 50% shot. I'm definitely going to try to follow up if I get waitlisted...

http://myLSN.info/o57ywl 6 cycles, 61-63/.8-.89 = 30% shot

http://myLSN.info/8zdoqq 3 cycles, 61-63/.7-.89 = 46% (I chose 3.7 because its above median)

http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 2&t=191337 Medians: 164/3.6

reevaluating, I would guess typically 40/60. maybe a bit over 50/50 if you are persistant and stay on their nuts.

For what it's worth, BC is my top choice as well. I'd pay sticker for it, but I also have a technical degree and am hoping it boosts my chances for a job at graduation since I"ll be gunning for IP. I have a 3.6/164, which gives me about the same chances as you. I've taken the LSAT 4 times and the test has completely mindfucked me, to the point where it's really difficult for me to justify taking it again. For you, on the other hand, especially with that rich GPA and especially if you've only taken it once, retake is probably your best bet. Either way, best of luck..so long as you don't take my spot

haha hopefully we'll be sitting next to each other next year my man!

It would be a reaaaaaaaaaaaally bad idea not to take again.

Trust me, we're talking about tens of thousands of dollars for 3 questions on the LSAT (before interest). You would be paying full freight at a school that just isn't very good. That is objectively a terrible idea

Do they even accept February scores? Otherwise my option is sitting out a cycle...
