3.6 GPA Forum

Hou are correct if it sounds too simple, but it is surely something valuable in a career that may require some of your personal time.

This means nothing without a score. Even with a 162 hypothetically, still think GW is not in the cards. Certainly not ED NW. You need to just focus on the lsat. Your softs aren't going to help outperform your numbers.

No real point speculating until your score. But,

You'd have a shot I think, but with a better LSAT you'll get more money, have a better shot at T14 etc. So focus on the LSAT.

Edit: Also it's a small sample size, so who really knows.

Yeah, raise that score up. You absolutely won't get Northwestern if you score in your projected range, and if you're lower than a 160, I imagine that even Fordham and GW are going to be reaches.

But that's all irrelevant without an LSAT score. You want one that's much higher than what you're aiming for.

what? these softs will absolutely help OP overperform their numbers. These are the types of softs that get someone T14 with $ for a 3.6/162.

I completely disagree with the negativity here. A part african american part native american student with a decent GPA at a decent university with substantial leadership experience and political participation? This person will obviously have far better offers than a vanilla LSAT would command.

one thing, OP, is that with the information you have provided, you have most certainly outed yourself and anyone else who knows about your personal information will easily ID you. So don't assume your handle will be anonymous, to either yourself or law school admissions personnel. Avoid the lounge.

Not according to MyLSN. They actually have a decent number of data points for a 3.6-7/162 URM over the past few years, and it's a solid block of red with only one or two lighter spots across the T20. Granted, some of the admissions look like they were with scholarships, but the OP is not getting in at Northwestern with a 162. Fordham and GW are also showing as maybes, and the OP's softs may put them over the edge. But if they score <160, absolutely no chance in hell.

Just do your best on the LSAT! A lot of negative energy in here for nothing I wouldn't post questions like this in here especially with everyone not being URM. You never know how your cycle my end up, just apply early and do your best on the LSAT. But, I would say aim for NYU and GT.

OP should crush the LSAT and go to Yale
