I scored a 168 in December which was towards the upper end of my pt average though I got distracted at the beginning of my last sections and lost a couple minutes in addition to forgetting to set my watch. I really do not want to take the LSAT again unless a small score gain will make a huge difference. I have average ec's.

I figure I have a good chance to get into the back end of the t14, but I am curious about my chances at schools like Penn, Uchicago, Berkeley etc. I feel HYS is a far reach and I am content in going elsewhere. I am also curious as to whether I can expect any money with my scores from any t20 schools. Any advice is appreciated and thanks for you help!PR 3.6 169 chances for t10 schools Forum

You'll probably get a full scholarship at WUSTL.newtothis437 wrote:I am also curious as to whether I can expect any money with my scores from any t20 schools. Any advice is appreciated and thanks for you help!
And you have a good shot at the T10s. I would blanket those schools.
