Hey all! I just received my June LSAT scores, took home a 170. I wanted to know if anyone could help compile a reach/fit/safety list of schools that I should apply to? Hoping to find my way into the T14.

Edit: Forgot to mention I'll be applying as a URM (Mexican-American).

Also, I had a question about the LSAC GPA. I transferred out of my first university after freshman year, and I wanted to know if they will include those grades in my LSAC GPA. Without those grades I have a 3.3 from my degree-granting university, but with those grades I have a 3.5. Obviously it would be great to have the bump.

Thanks very much!

Can't help you w the LSAC GPA but either way blanket the T14. Don't waste your time elsewhere. The lower T14 will give you boatloads of cash and you have a decent shot at Y and S (though there the GPA Q May be key...)

Congrats on the score and what will be a tremendous cycle.

Decent shot at Y and S? I must be missing something.

Ya "outside" is probably more accurate. I'm basing that statement on the 3.5

Yes! They combine all UG GPA's. A 3.5/170 MA definitely has a place in the T14.

I don't think you really have any chance at S and especially Y. GPAs just too low. But you'll have a great cycle nonetheless. As long as you have great apps and good timing.

Sample size for this kind of applicant is so low that its tough to say. But see lawschoolnumbers.com/esperance

Thanks so much guys! Really appreciate the feedback.
