what's my chance to get in CLS? Forum

[Ni233]

LSAT:169
GPA: Above average as evaluated by LSAC. (I'm from China, so I guess this means 3.5-3.7 in America?)

Highlights in softs: 1. Legacy applicant (My stepfather is a JD from CLS) 2. A master degree in economics from a U.S. university that ranks around 20th

Can somebody give me a quick analysis?
Thanks.

go to mylsn.info for your chances.

Quickly, CLS emphasizes LSAT, so being below median as you are does not bode well for your chances.

Probably pretty low. LSAT isn't at median, and GPA isn't stellar. MA degree doesn't mean anything, and don't think legacy is going that far, if they even know. Last year the app didn't even ask about family members who've attended, don't know if they started asking.

Keep in mind that you don't have a GPA that can be reported to LSAC, so it doesn't really matter what US equivalent it works out to. This makes your LSAT even more important.
