Top Law Schools

Thank you!

You need to provide a little more detail to get anything beyond what MyLSN will tell you. But I'd say pretty much zero chance of admission, depending on what you mean by "diverse." Even assuming you're a URM, your chances are still basically zero, and you shouldn't go to any school that will admit you with a sub-150 LSAT.

Separately, why are you focused on Houston?

Thank you for your response. I was interested in applying to UHLC because they have a dual JD program with the Canadian university. Do you know any other US schools where I may have a chance to get in?

What are your career goals? Do you want to practice in the US or Canada? I don't see what value a dual program has for two separate jurisdictions with entirely different certification requirements.

And as mentioned, you should not attend any school that will admit you with your current numbers. No matter what your career goals are, there are no law schools with halfway-decent employment outcomes that admit applicants with a sub-150 LSAT.

Sorry to say your chances aren't good. It says on UH's website that their medians are 3.64/161. Either your gpa or lsat needs to be above the median to have a chance of admission (unless you have an incredible resumé and you're a black woman, but even then it's a toss-up).

The best thing you can do is raise your lsat score. When I took the test for the first time under timed conditions, I got a 148. Then I studied for about 8 months and I scored a 165-167. A lot of good schools gave me full-tuition offers for it. I'm not even that smart, just diligent. As long as you ace logic games (probably the easiest section to get -0 on) and do ok on the other sections, you'll get above 161 and UH will throw you money.
