3.5/157-162 Forum

[go_bears]

I graduated from UC Berkeley this past May with a 3.6 GPA but am absolutely awful with test taking. My LSAT ranges from between 157-162 (mostly around the 160 end) but am unsure how much soft factors, letters of rec, and school reputation will affect my overall chances. Ideally I would love to attend law school in Southern California (i.e. USC, Loyola, UCLA) but am definitely looking into other schools outside of Southern California. Can anyone give me an idea as to what my chances are? Thank you!

Have you taken the LSAT?

I cancelled my score immediately thinking that I would do better because I didn't feel good about it. While I've almost consistently been getting around a 161 or better, I don't want to be too generous in making any predictions so I put a range of 157-162, hoping to be on the higher end of that spectrum, if not higher. I know it's nothing stellar, but I'm wondering how much other factors will help/hurt me.

I'm not sure we can give you your chances without a score... Also, I would take like 3-4 points off your PT average for your likely score.
