Needing Help!

<p>I am a Sophomore at a Christian university that has a law school of it's own with a great alumni network. However, this network is constricted to mainly the state and a few surrounding states. My intentions are to practice law outside of the South, eventually. </p>

<p>As of now, my GPA stands at 3.48 and I am a URM (AA). I took two practice LSATs and I scored 158 and 162, respectively. I plan on taking it officially next October and aiming for a 163-167. My softs will be a good factor because I will end up doing at least 40 hours of community service up until graduation and I will be part of social clubs and honor societies. What are my chances-considering I have a final GPA between 3.5-3.63 and LSAT of 163-167-of being admitted to Northeastern, Alabama, Notre Dame, Boston College, and Emory? Would applying to a low T-14 hurt?</p>

<p>I meant *its</p>

<p>At this point there’s way too much variation in your projection for us to give any kind of sensible prediction. Even assuming you can improve your LSAT score, 163-167 is still a huge range. And, just for the record, you basically have no extracurriculars.</p>

<p>With that said, a 3.5/163 could very well have a good shot at a T14 in your situation. Keep getting that GPA up, keep studying for the LSAT, and try to do SOMETHING worthwhile during college.</p>

<p>Well I left out football, SGA, fitness trainer, and hopefully doing some work next summer for a pro bono firm that deals with air property. And I’ll change it to a 3.5/165.</p>

<p>Unless you’re referring to Division I varsity football, you basically have no extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Projecting LSAT scores is a senseless exercise. People tend to be very bad at projecting what their LSAT scores are going to be. At this point, the best thing to do is to study hard and get a legitimate sense for where your scores are clustering around before we start talking about what it’s eventually going to be.</p>

<p>You’re right about that. I thought about quitting anyways. Thanks for the input.</p>
