<p>Hello All, </p>
<p>I am currently applying to law schools and have recently received my LSAT score and am thinking nothing but the worst. I have a 3.37 GPA (major in Political Science with a minor in International Affairs), graduated cum laude from Northeastern University but received a 145 on the LSAT. </p>
<p>My background:
I am a current Peace Corps nominee, set to teach English in South East Asia. I currently work at the United Nations as a team assistant and have had experience working for non profits within the US as well as work experience with a grass roots NGO in Cairo, Egypt for the duration of 1 month. </p>
<p>I am of the LGBT community and a HRC volunteer. As an undergrad I served as a mentor to incoming minority students, a staff writer for a university publication and a member of the International Affairs society. </p>
<p>I've applied to several schools prior to receiving my score and am determined to retake the exam in February. I personally know that I am an individual that does not test well on standardized exams, but am able to excel in academic programs. </p>
<p>Tulane and a few other law schools make it a point to ask for your SAT/ACT scores to see if in fact the applicant is of that group (bad test takers) and I feel that I might fall under that category. </p>
<p>I've been reading through several sources and it seems as though I've just made the cut off point on the LSAT of what law schools are willing to consider. </p>
<p>Since I am in fact a minority student: (African American, Female, Lesbian) with international experience, a satisfactory GPA and work experience with a organization I would ultimately want to work for as an International Human Rights Lawyer, do I have a shot at any worthwhile law schools?</p>
