Re: 164 LSAT 3.38 GPA URM Chances at...?
Honestly probably 0 chance. Maybe with the pr urm but honestly you need to retake.

Glad to hear you're re-taking that's a good idea. Berkley is kind've a GPA whore from what I hear but a re-take a few points increase should have you in some good spots
Assuming you don't improve, I think you'd get Vandy def.
as for the URM boost, yeah you probably won't get a similar boost to NA/AA

If you are 100% sure about law school, and you haven't graduated yet, I'd try to postpone a semester/year and take as many classes as you can to keep boosting that GPA. Then I'd focus on LSAT and not retake it until I was scoring 2-3 points above my target (which should be 167+. Then, you could apply with like a 3.45/168 and get just about every school on your list at a six figure discount. That'd probably save you 90k+ versus what you'd end up paying if accepted with your current stats. Well worth the one year wait.

I have 13 credits left in the fall. I can't imagine it would make any sense to postpone graduation and take BS classes when I should be graduated. Would a .08-.1 GPA boost really make that worth it? State school so it's cheap but still...180kickflip wrote:If you are 100% sure about law school, and you haven't graduated yet, I'd try to postpone a semester/year and take as many classes as you can to keep boosting that GPA.

Also, I am going to write my essay about how I can bring my culture and educate others about my culture. If I sell this well, will it have an impact?

Yes assuming the essay logically follows from your transcript, resume, and LORs. How much is anybody's guess.LawurmStudent wrote:Also, I am going to write my essay about how I can bring my culture and educate others about my culture. If I sell this well, will it have an impact?

A .1 GPA increase may only provide a small bump on its own, but a .1 increase coupled with a 3 point increase on your LSAT would make for an entirely different cycle. If taking some cheap/easy classes and getting 5 more questions right on a multiple choice test brought you from Michigan with 30k to Michigan with 120k, wouldn't it be worth it?LawurmStudent wrote:I have 13 credits left in the fall.
