4th LSAT: 172/3.34 Forum

[Lawz88]

Hey Guys,

I will keep it simple.

I initially anticipated to go to law school straight out of under-grad so I took the LSAT and pretty much Bombed it. Second attempt, only increased by 6 points. Third Attempt: another 6 points. Many of you are wondering what I scored on all of the last three tests, I'll put it this way, with my third score I had the option of ONLY going Tier 4. The third test was in Dec' 12. Everyone told me to move on and do something else, LSAT isn't your cup of tea.

Fast-forward, June 2015. 172. Under-graduate 3.34 GPA, Master's degree 3.7 GPA, 5 Years in federal Service.
Obviously, nothing really matters after the LSAT and maybe the GPA, but what are my reasonable chances?

Do I have a shot at t-14? preferably Georgetown or Cornell?

any other 4th time takers?

& How BAD does it look to jump from consistent mediocre scores to 172?

Thanks

I'll leave chances to others who can answer your question much better than I could, but I just wanted to post here and commend you on a stellar drive to get that 172. Really, wow. Take a bow, and best of luck wherever you end up at (hopefully with fat stacks of $$$$ too!)!

You'll get into some of the T10, maybe NYU if you're really lucky since LSAT scores are down, and you'll get money at lower T14. Pit them against eachother, negotiate wisely, and you have good odds of getting at least half off at a lower T14, if not more.

Good job OP. You are the poster-child of why we say "retake" so much around here.
