I NEED HELP!!

Law School Admissions LSAT Prep and Discussion Forum

Hey guys

ANY advice would really help as I am stuck in a difficult situation.

MY Undergraduate GPA is a 3.5, and I just recently score a 152 on the June 2011 LSAT (Should have been much higher, I blame my nerves and excessive anxiety due to burnout :/.) I am a bi-racial candidate (black and Caucasian), and have pretty good soft factors (volunteering, etc.)

I’m looking to apply to University of Connecticut, Wake Forest University, University of Maryland-Baltimore, University of Houston, and the University of Florida.

WHAT ARE MY CHANCES??? It’s going to be so hard for me to retake working full-time and taking care of so many other responsibilities…but do I HAVE TO RETAKE???

Yes you need at least a 160

Yes you should retake…don’t waste URM status with a bad score…get low 160s, enjoy T-14 with $$…
Also, your schools are over the place. These schools are all regional, so pick a region that you want to practice in and choose schools around there.

Even getting to a high 150s gives you great options. These people got T-14 at half rides.

low 150s resulted in half rides at schools like Northeastern

so ya, retake

Do you think I have a chance at any of these schools with any $$$$$???

I will probably retake…just wondering…

University of Maryland is doubtful. University of Baltimore is probable with your numbers. But there’s plenty of time to retake.
