Is a high standardized test score useful?

<p>Specifically, a 179 (got to love prime numbers) from the LSAT, for undergraduate applications with a year about completed. The LSAT makes way more sense than the SAT and half of their problems can be simplified with logical models. The innate superiority of the LSAT shines in its lack-of-association with the ETS.</p>

<p>What schools do you think will consider the LSAT for undergraduate admissions?</p>

<p>Forget about undergrad.
You got 179 on LSAT which is higher than 99% of students.
If you have a decent GPA of let's say 3.5-3.8
You hae a shot at Yale law school (#1), Harvard, Upenn,Columbia, and the rest of all the schools.
And they don't really look at what undergrad you went to. So, forget about transferring and get ready for some a law school.</p>

<p>I can't even imagine getting a 179 on my LSAT...I'm taking mine next year</p>

<p>If you have a bad SAT/ACT score, then your high LSAT score is practically worthless for undergrad admissions.</p>

<p>If you have a good SAT/ACT score, then your high LSAT score might be an extra boost.</p>

<p>Undergraduate colleges look for prepared undergrad students, not law students. Nevertheless, if you can come across as BOTH, and tell them that you intend to apply to law, I'm sure adcoms will be thinking ahead about the kid from their school that will go onto one of the very best law schools. ;)</p>

<p>I agree with Brand_182, and with you, in viewing teh LSAT as a far superior test to the SAT. You should not, however, waste the adcom's time explaining the significance of your score; if they know anything about the LSAT, and chances are, they will, you'll do fine just to sent the score, possibly with a brief note. But then, judging by your LSAT score, you should've figured this much out before posting.</p>

<p>A 178 or better usually places the examinee in the 99.9th percentile.</p>

<p>jeez</p>
