3.5/159/URM/NP softs

Post by intltradefuturelwyr » Thu Mar 17, 2016 11:34 pm

Hi all,

I'm a Hispanic American female with great nonprofit softs and looking at Public Interest. I've had campus leadership, a full time job (while in college) and worked one to two jobs the rest of the time, not to mention campus leadership. I come from a very nontraditional background but am not necessarily disadvantaged.
I also have a rather rare form of hearing loss which I included on my app but I'm not too sure it will help or harm me.
I got a 159 my second time taking the LSAT (jumped 7 points) so can't really take it again, or can I?
My top two choices are BU and BC but I'm really not sure of my chances. Thoughts?

If you were able to jump 7 point between your first two takes, you obviously were able to begin learning mastery of the LSAT. It would definitely be in your best interest to try and do that again. With another similar jump for a third take, your options will increase dramatically.

Yeah, I agree with this and would definitely recommend another take especially since you still have so much time.
