<p>My undergrad gpa is pathetic i know and my major was business admin. i have 3 years of work experience. i am currently completing my masters in accounting part-time (and working pt) at a local university and have a 3.8 gpa..hopefully 3.9 by graduation. i'm also going to try to ace (or at least pass) the cpa exam. i am confident i can break a 170 on my lsat but i'm aiming for 175+. i am thinking of going into tax law but am not limiting my options. can i get into a good law school? </p>
<p>i am dreaming about columbia, nyu, cornell, vanderbilt, gw, usc, unc (i am not from nc), bu (my undergrad university). what about my chances at lower tiered schools like wake forest, pepperdine, tulane, bc, umiami, seton hall (i am from nj), villanova,. i don't want to go any lower in the rankings. are there any other splitter-friendly schools i should consider? are my goals realistic?</p>
<p>For now, the best thing to do is to get an actual LSAT score. Doing this exercise based on hypotheticals isn’t particularly revealing.</p>
<p>At a minimum, if you’re going to project LSAT scores, the best indicators are (1) actual practice LSATs, and (2) your SAT score.</p>
<p>i am scoring high 160s/low 170s on my practice lsats. aiming for the full 180 but thinking i can get a 175</p>
<p>I was scoring high 160s/low 170s on my pts and ended up with a 165. If it were so easy to get your score up, then everyone would.</p>
<p>Fortunately I still found my way into a T14.</p>
<p>The main question is: how long have you been studying? A 167 after two months of practice is probably going to be roughly a 167 when the real thing comes.</p>
<p>i have been studying about a month or so. i don’t plan on applying this round. i will be done with my masters in december 2011. also, i don’t plan on taking the real thing until i am consistently scoring in the mid/high 170s. i am shooting for feb testing date.</p>
