Might be worth applying to some of the lower t14. Depends on what kind of hispanic you are as well.darthpar wrote:I've retaken test in December 2015. Still waiting (and hoping) for a higher score. Probably no higher than 163...

Doubtful. Cuban-American isn't URM, partly because they're a small minority and partly because it took enough money to defect under Castro such that a disproportionate number of Cuban refugees were successful professionals.TheRealSantaClaus wrote:You can likely get admitted to a few T14s with a low 160s and that GPA, but If you can score a 165+ on the LSAT you're looking at fantastic scholarship opportunities within the T14. If you've got a retake left, sitting out and taking the June exam can pay off in a huge way
