3.2 GPA/167 LSAT

Post by lexikh » Thu Jan 18, 2018 7:09 pm

I only took the LSAT once. 3.2 GPA, but my grade trend is much better (i had one really bad semester). I am not a minority. I am female and have a decent amount of extracurriculars, but nothing spectacular. I have had a job for my entire college career.

The school I want to get into the most is Notre Dame. I'm also considering applying to Vanderbilt, Iowa, Boston U, Minnesota, Arizona State, Wisconsin, & CU-Boulder. What do you think my chances are? Any advice welcome :D thank you!!

I had nearly identical stats last year. I was WL'ed at Vandy (didn't really follow through to get off the WL), was in at BU and Minnesota with $90K, and in at Wisconsin with $60k. Since you have an upward trend (I most certainly did not) you might fare better. Minnesota and BU both negotiate scholarships so don't hold back if/when the time comes.

thank you so much! that's very helpful. I would love to get similar scholarships at those schools.

You have a 167 at your first attempt on the LSAT? Three or four more points and you're looking at a T-13 school with some amount of scholarship and significantly improved employment prospects. You're a splitter, your focus should be on an incremental boost to your LSAT score.
