I have a 158 LSAT, a lot of political/legal internships, and a 3.95 gpa at a large state school. I'm also puerto rican.
I'm considering to applying to UM, UF, George Washington, Emory, University of Texas, Georgetown, and maybe some other T-14 schools.
What are my chances at the schools I mentioned above, what are some realistic match schools for me, and is my LSAT score really going to hinder my chances?

Definitely retake, there is no question there
That's a random hodgepodge of regional schools, no reason to seriously consider applying to all of them. I'd recommend doing more research on this site and http://www.lawschooltransparency.com and approaching your application cycle with more focus (after retaking the lsat, multiple times if need be)

Re: 3.95 gpa/158 LSAT
Yes. You absolutely need to retake, especially considering your GPA and URM status. You'll leave a lot of excellent schools and a ton of money on the table if you don't retake for a 170+. Follow Noodley's retaker guide, work hard, then (actually) profit.mn82992 wrote: is my LSAT score really going to hinder my chances?
