<p>SAT and LSAT percentiles can not be compared. EVERYBODY who has 1/2 a brain takes the SAT, while far fewer take the LSAT. Only those who performed well enough in college would even consider taking the LSAT</p>
<p>okay mr. payne, I'm fairly drunk, but I got a 730 on verbal and an 800 on writing sans studying. </p>
<p>so, if I study for a year+ for the LSATs, I should be fine, according to your flawless reasoning.</p>
<p>Regardless, most of you missed the point. Are hypothetical situations that difficult to comprehend? I asked a simple question: would a 175+ compensate for my GPA? Obviously, from my deduction (a la LSAT terminology, omg) it would, but thanks for the speculation.</p>

Useless piece of information?</p>

I'd assume after taking 30+ tests you'd have gotten to your optimum/ideal level.</p>

No, they are not hard to comprehend. </p>

And I responded to something else in your post. Big deal.</p>

You're clearly 175 material.</p>

Unless you got a 1500 (M+V) SAT, don't think you can get a 175. You'll most likely just let yourself down.

<p>Actually, my verbal/writing scores are "useful" information, since you seem to think SAT math and verbal scores and my potential LSAT score are highly correlated, though I'd imagine that one's writing score is more relevant than one's math score.</p>
<p>Perhaps, I could also make a few arguments the other way.</p>
<p>IE: The writing SAT is the least g-loaded portion of the SATs, and the LSAT, being an IQ test (in theory), will more closely mirror the M+V portions of the test.</p>
<p>The main reason for not mentioning the writing portion of the SAT, of course, is because we don't really have any correlations between that and the LSAT. Basically everything is speculation. The correlation between M/V & the LSAT is backed with hard data.</p>
<p>^^^^show me the data</p>
<p>Do you mean to tell me this thread is completely hypothetical? You're just assuming you're getting a 175, and haven't taken the **ing test yet?**</p>
<p>Ridiculous. Go take it, and then figure out if you can even look at ANY of the t14, rather than assume you're one of the smartest people in the country.</p>
<p>holy ****, let me reiterate: I didn't assume I'd get a 175. I'm not even taking the test for another year.</p>
<p>The point is that it's absolutely useless to speculate. If you get a 180, you can probably get into Harvard. So what? If all you want to know is whether your GPA will completely prevent you from getting into any top schools, the answer is no.</p>
