<p>You can plug in the numbers and see for [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]yourself[/url”&gt;http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]yourself[/url</a>]. With a 3.8 and a URM bump, I’d see about retaking the LSAT. Even getting it up to 170 could mean quite a bit of money. Law schools don’t care about your extracurriculars or your major.</p>

<p>^^This.</p>

<p>Studying for the LSAT and re-taking it could be worth fifty to a hundred thousand dollars in merit aid. You would be mental to not spend that time up front to save so much money later down the road. </p>

<p>Don’t waste that GPA!!! You must retake, that’s the only answer here. Hit 173 and you’re in to most T14, with money (maybe not HYS).</p>
