Top Law Schools

Hi guys:

I am just curious as to your opinion on my chances at T-14 schools given the following stats:

GPA: 3.87 from UGA (political science/journalism/honors program)
LSAT: Test scores vary from 165-168, but aiming up to 170 for the Sept. LSAT
Softs: TFA (2 years, HS English Indianapolis) Masters Degree in Secondary Teaching

everything depends on your lsat

LSN will be more helpful than any of us in telling you where you might get in. But I think I might have some helpful advice . . .

The key is not getting into a T-14. They key is getting enough scholarship money to make that T14 a reasonable investment.

This man speaks truth.

Thanks everyone. I DEFINITELY agree with what you all are saying about scholarships. I do not think, pragmatically, it makes sense to attend one of these schools if I get no funding. But, I am curious what you all say about that as well.

I know lsn is a good gauge, but it doesn't account well for softs. Although they are not a huge deal, I am curious if anyone has insight as to if TFA might tip the scales for someone just shy of the 170 barrier.

If you mean shy like 169, I would say TFA would help. But even with a 169, you'll get lots of money from schools.

Wanna go for a walk? Seriously though we both know it all depends on that lsat. Mylsn.com aggregates the data so that is helpful to look at.
