<p>ok so i am taking the october lsat. on my practice test i am scoring between 155 and 160. my gpa is 3.2(from ucla), and I am an African-American male. As far as my gpa i will try to explain in my personal statement, that I have gotten 3.4 or higher in every quarter at ucla, except 1 b/c of major health issues. </p>
<p>so if i get a 155 where should i apply?</p>
<p>how about if i can get a 160?</p>
<p>ps im not asking you to list the names of schools just school ranked numbers will be fine...ie 75-100</p>
<p>I’d recommend that you go to [LSAC.org</a> Homepage](<a href=“http://www.lsac.org%5DLSAC.org”>http://www.lsac.org). There’s a search function there that lets you plug your gpa and LSAT score in and find out your odds of admission at most ABA-approved law schools. (It’s under the Choosing a Law School link–you’ll see something like guide ato ABA law schools; click that.) Plug in the 155. Plug in the 160. </p>
<p>You’ll get a bit of a boost from AA at MOST not all law schools. So, my personal opinion–and I’m not an expert–is that you should look at the schools where numbers alone give you at least a 35% chance. Choose your apps from those. MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE SOME SAFETIES.</p>
