<p>I want to transfer next fall (I plan to apply next spring so I can send my grades from this fall), and I'm an engineering major who wants to go into patent law. I've been practicing for the LSAT, and I am starting to get decent scores (high 160s) -- would it be helpful to my undergraduate transfer applications to take the LSAT sooner so that I could include my score in my applications?</p>

<p>No, and the upper 160-range is not that high to be impressive.</p>
<p>Well, yeah, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do much better.</p>
<p>it is impressive, just various depending on which law schools your interested in</p>
<p>What year are you? Sophomore?</p>
<p>^Yeah, I'm a sophomore.</p>
<p>high 160's from just a sophomore in college is VERY impressive. The more you practice the LSATs, the better you'll do ... and you have plenty of time (years!) to practice. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, they won't help you much for undergrad admissions, and it may possibly hinder you from law school admissions. Typically, most law schools seem to want you to take the LSAT only once. Take it more, and your scores will be just averaged (this is done at a bunch of schools). Take it once when you're ready to apply, rather than take it now and score say a 165 then take it again later and score a 175 ... to some law schools you'll only be submitting a 170 vs. that 175.</p>
