<p>I go to UC Santa Cruz. If I end there with a GPA about a 4.05 (on a scale of 0-4.33) and a high LSAT what are my chances at HLS?</p>
<p>What exactly do you mean by “high LSAT”?</p>
<p>Let’s say 175 for numbers sake</p>
<p>Is this predicted or what ?</p>
<p>Yes predicted. Should be about that by then end of this year.</p>
<p>Pointless speculation until you have actual stats.</p>
<p>I don’t see how you can predict your LSAT without actually taking some practice tests. If you go in expecting a 175 before you’ve even looked into the test, you’re setting yourself up for big disappoinment. Now if you’ve gotten 175s on practice tests, that’s a different story, but I don’t think that’s what you meant.</p>
<p>I’ve only taken one practice LSAT(an actual old LSAT from one of the LSAC’s books), and I got a 176, which was about what I expected. If you did extremely well on the SAT(I did) and other tests(like the GMAT, which I did), you should expect a high score.</p>
<p>Are you the best in UCSC in recent years?</p>
<p>Check the stats of the school : [UCSC</a> Law School Statistics](<a href=“http://www2.ucsc.edu/careers/handouts/law_school/law_school_stats.html]UCSC”>http://www2.ucsc.edu/careers/handouts/law_school/law_school_stats.html)</p>
<p>Yeah I see things like that, and then I put in my numbers into a law school predictor or something and it says “admit”, that’s what I don’t get. I would presume some of those people who didn’t get in had above 4.0 but I don’t know. I guess I just don’t understand how much undergrad matters, because I hear it’s more about the numbers but then no one from UCSC got into HYS that year…</p>
<p>I mean, we can also imagine that you found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, gave it to Harvard, and have earned major donor status before applying.</p>
<p>Predicting absurdly favorable LSAT scores is a pointless exercise.</p>
<p>I mean yes you are right, it was an overestimation. In the practice LSAT I took I got 168, but I feel like with practice and more preparation 175 is not too far away…wrong? Apologies if I offended anyone I just wanted to ballpark my expectations, and see if with what I expected to have I would be able to get in.</p>
<p>Most people I know actually did worse on the “real” LSAT than they did on their practice tests.</p>
<p>1) Take the LSAT.<br>
2) Get your results.
3) Post a chance me thread.</p>
