Top Law Schools

I live in NYC and only applying to law schools located in NY state for Fall 2020. My top law school choices are CUNY Law, Albany Law, and Pace Law. With a 3.42 GPA, a Master's Degree, and 2+ years of full-time work experience at a non-profit organization, what are the realistic chances of getting accepted to any of these schools? Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. ***Note that I will be retaking the LSAT come February 2020.

Don't do anything with a 145. Or the schools that you listed, period. It's not gonna be worth it.

Do not go to any law school that would accept you with a 145.

It's pretty simple. You need to improve your LSAT by at least 15 points. There is no "trick" to getting into any of these schools. Just crush the LSAT.

The schools you listed all have median LSAT in the 150s, and the lowest 25%ile for them is 149 (Pace and CUNY part-time); CUNY full-time and Albany have 25%ile of 151. Your GPA is within the interquartile range for these schools---specifically, between median and 75%ile---and your softs are good, but with a 145, it hardly matters. Absent truly exceptional circumstances, you don't have a good chance of admission at any of these schools unless your score improves. Best of luck with the retake! Even a modest improvement would significantly increase your chances.
