Top Law Schools

Okay, so I've been looking at LSN and myLSN since yesterday after having received my score. The problem is, as an international student (UK born and educated, graduated with a master of engineering, honors 1st class, from a respected university) I haven't a GPA of such. Instead, my LSAC transcript reads as "superior" which apparently means my GPA could be anywhere from 3.5 - 4.0!

As this makes using myLSN slightly more subjective, I am throwing myself down in front of the TLS community for the first time to ask: What are my chances?

I've taken the LSAT twice with a 164 in October 2012 and a 169 in the June exam just past. I probably should have canceled the first score but having never taken a standardized test before wasn't completely sure how to judge my performance. I have not ruled out retaking for a third time.

I'm a non-standard applicant with seven years worth of professional experience in a number of different developed countries (UK, US, Italy and others) including two years spent in engineering and five in management consultancy. Throughout those years I have been focused on the energy and environmental sectors and am interested in studying environmental law.

I realize that YHS are out of reach, but what about the rest of the T14? Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same concern as you do as regards the 'Superior' thing.

I would say that they might rely less on our GPA/'Superior' but might focus more on the LSAT, so if you have time, definitely try retake, especially if you feel you can score much higher!

I took the test in London in February, got 170, which is like the lowest I have ever scored on any mock test, so I took it again in London in June and got 179. If you have any questions, would be happy to talk to you about it.

Good job. With a 179, I imagine you can go to your pick of schools. I was testing at the 172 level, so imagine I could improve; however, for personal reasons, I probably can't retake until next year meaning I would have to miss the cycle.
