Top Law Schools

I can't believe I've taken the LSAT 4 times already...

Dec 2011- 148
Dec 2013- cancel
Feb 2014- 161
June 2014- 164

my GPA is a 3.57 from USC.

My dream was to go to either USC or UCLA but that's not happening now. Do you think I will be able to get in anywhere decent? I ~didn't~ want to leave LA.

Unfortunately, no school in LA other than those two are worth attending right now.

You could wait, build work experience, save money, and retake one more time

If you don't want to do that, then do this:

Apply to UCI, UC Davis, and schools like WUSTL, and ND (schools that are ranked higher and are willing to throw out $$ for your kind of stats).

Get into all of them with scholarship money.

Negotiate until you have a full ride (or close to it) at UCI/UCD.

Bust your balls and hopefully that will be enough to get back to LA.
