Great LOR from kid I mentor's mom

Is it possible? What LSAT would I need to put me at 50/50 or better?

Can you get two good academic LORs? To the extent they care at all, adcomms are much more interested in academic LORs than feel-good letters from people who have never evaluated you academically.

Its POSSIBLE with a 170+

But I dont think any score would make the odds 50/50 or better.
