Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
Check out mylsn.info and play around with the numbers a bit.
Every lsat point makes such a big difference that it's not worth assessing your chances at 168, because you don't have a 168. Score as high as you possibly can. Good luck.

Don't worry about schools now, worry about the LSAT first! Good luck!

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
We have the same GPA, and my LSAT was 169. Though it's anecdotal, feel free to PM me for my application results

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
You can go to your nearest testing center for the June LSAT. Speculating on this stuff beforehand is silly. Get a real, reportable score, and then you can start speculating like the rest of us degenerates

Why is Georgetown your top choice? This is all moot until you take the LSAT, but get a 170 and go to a better school.

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
FYI - I talked to former admissions officers about LSAT scores, but apparently a 170 doesn't really make a major difference to your application unless its 172 or above..acr wrote:Why is Georgetown your top choice? This is all moot until you take the LSAT, but get a 170 and go to a better school.

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
Whether or not that's true, a 170 is far better than a 168 for admissions. It puts you above median or at 75th for everyone seven and belowjpark86 wrote:FYI - I talked to former admissions officers about LSAT scores, but apparently a 170 doesn't really make a major difference to your application unless its 172 or above..acr wrote:Why is Georgetown your top choice?

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
Yea, frankly I was surprised when I first heard this! However, a former admissions officer who worked at YLS and CLS told me this... so there is some truth to it (at least for some T-14 schools)!mrgstephe wrote:jpark86 wrote:FYI - I talked to former admissions officers about LSAT scores, but apparently a 170 doesn't really make a major difference to your application unless its 172 or above..acr wrote:Why is Georgetown your top choice?

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
So your conversation with a single former admissions officer outweighs a swarm of data differentiating a 169 from a 171 for admissions purposes? You also changed your statement from "many law schools" to "some T-14 schools." Interesting.jpark86 wrote:Yea, frankly I was surprised when I first heard this!

Georgetown is my top choice because I want to live/work in DC and their trial advocacy program is the best among T14 (also I don't want think I want to go a much harder school where my class rank will be worse)

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
That's not how class rank works, and specialty rankings are meaningless. If you want to work in DC, UVA would probably be the best non Harvard/Yale school.letmelearnlaws wrote:acr wrote:Why is Georgetown your top choice?

Re: Where can I go? 3.7/168
I mean UVA would be a *good* choice if DC is his #1, but by the same measure, GULC would also be a *good* choice. I think at that level you can't definitively say one is better than the other. GULC has a lot of self-selection reasons for their employment numbers.cavalier1138 wrote:That's not how class rank works, and specialty rankings are meaningless.
