<p>I am a current high school Junior and am already doing well on the SATs and SAT 2s. I recently took a practice LSAT and scored a 176. If I were to take the real LSAT and score that high, would sending it in help me to get into Stanford undergrad?</p>
<p>Stanford does not have an accelerated law program; in my mind, if you score this high on the real LSAT you are competitive for just about any accelerated law programs but it is of help only in places with one as far as undergraduate admissions are concerned.</p>
<p>If T14s are your thing, try Columbia and UPenn on top of Stanford. Or, if you are rejected from Stanford undergrad, try to aim for Stanford for law school, in which case, if you really have a 176, try to get a 3.8+ as an undergrad.</p>
<p>Stanford wasn’t necessarily what I meant in my question. Will a competitive score like that help in college admissions, regardless of whether they have an accelerated law program?</p>
<p>Sorry, responded without reading the whole post so I had to edit this.</p>
<p>Yes, if you can get a 176 on a real test and send it in, it would help quite a bit. But remember, half the LSAT is a test of nerves. Getting a 176 on a practice test as opposed to a real test are two very different things.</p>
<p>However, Stanford would probably be very happy to see anything even into the low 170’s, so I would give it a shot. </p>
<p>Take the June one, it’s in the afternoon so you get to sleep in.</p>
<p>LSAT scores are only valid for 5 years…</p>
<p>No, a high LSAT score would not even be considered for undergrad admissions. (An adcom would wonder why you don’t have anything better to do with your life, even sleep.)</p>
<p>Harvard undergrads (with heavy hitter scores) are now being offered spots in HLS in their junior year of undergrad. I don’t recall if it is binding.</p>
<p>You might call Harvard undergrad admissions and see if they think a “real” LSAT 176 would be something undergrad admissions would want to know.</p>
<p>Perhaps you should wait until June in your senior year of high school or any of the freshman year in undergrad dates to take it for real…</p>
<p>Ok good advice. Thanks all around</p>
