Top Law Schools

Hello,
I have already taken 3 times of LSAT, and thus cannot retake anymore. What are my best chances? I don't have extraordinary "softs". Thank you!

Lastly, check out the other subforums here on TLS. There is a lot of solid information and people willing to give you advice as you apply and such. Good luck!

That really helps! Thank you very much!

Those numbers will get you into a crappy school with no scholarship money. Keep working and gear up for a fourth LSAT.

Nice guy dowu?!

Reconsider if law school is really what you want. Fourth retake sounds like a better option than what you'd have as law school choices with your numbers. best of luck

Fourth LSAT? In two years later?

it's either that, or be unemployed with $250,000 in debt three years later

It might be helpful if you let us know what you have done so far for preparation. Did you take a course? Do a lot of prep tests? What was your first test score (ballpark it if you want to)?

definitely do not go to law school with those numbers. your GPA is not stellar but not too shabby either. shoot for 170+ for either T14 or regional with good scholarship

Obviously retaking is the best option, but failing that... I got a full ride to Illinois with similar numbers. Contrary to what some people have said here, there are some potential options for you that make sense with those numbers. It's all about where you want to work. If you want to work in California or NYC, you're shit out of luck. If you don't mind taking a decent scholarship to Illinois, Iowa, or Indiana, those are some schools that could be in your future.

That being said, who knows if this will keep up. Maybe Illinois shoots up the rankings and they decide they don't need to throw huge money anymore to maintain their medians. Maybe the school crashes into the 80s and they decide they're fucked anyway, so they might as well get paid while the ship sinks. Maybe Iowa decreases it's class size even more and ceases to be a school.

My point is, don't be afraid to apply and see what happens. But if you don't get like 3/4 ride or more, I'd say even those three schools aren't worth it. If you don't get the right scholarship, don't go.
