<p>Alight... So I'm curious as to what people think or rather; if and/or where people think I could get into law school.
So; here's where I'm looking (bear with me, it's a long list; in order of personal desirability)</p>
<p>U Penn
Northwestern
Cornell
Georgetown
UCLA
USC
Vanderbilt
Fordham
GW
Notre Dame
UT-Austin
BU
BC
Emory
UNC</p>
<p>And now the facts:
I'm only 19; I'll be graduating next year at 20 and would be starting 1L at 20. (Meaning I completed both HS and college in a total of six years)
I've held an internship at my county Prosecutor's Office
Taken practice LSAT - 165-170 score range
Double major in politics and philosophy with a minor in psychology
The killer part though is that I only have a 3.45 GPA.
So... Where do people think I stand a chance of getting in?</p>
<p>No one can really say until you have some real scores because there is a huge range of schools between a 165 and a 170</p>
<p>To be honest with you, you are under-shooting yourself imo. </p>
<p>3.45 and you still can raise this because you have school left?</p>
<p>You also have plenty of time to study and raise your LSAT score. Harvard on down is still possible for you. You wouldn’t be a first round pick, but I mean if you really applied yourself and got (180/3.5 double major) you can still get into Harvard after being wait-listed. (A note: You could also take summer courses on easy classes and raise your GPA.)</p>
<p>But doing a random assessment, it’s hard to say, 165-170 is a big gap believe it or not. Much different then 160-165. You still have a chance in any of the school. I would say Vanderbilt on down would be your “safe bets.” UCLA-Penn “still easily possible based on score”</p>
<p>Your GPA is horrible and your 165 to 170 gap is like saying i either drive a Hyundai or a Ferrari. There is just too much disparity here. People study for a year and spend thousands to move up 2 or 3 points in LSAT.</p>
<p>No matter what your GPA is locking you into Tier 3 or below, because no school cares how quick you graduated from college, they care about how your LSAC adjusted is going to ding their Law School ranking.</p>
<p>Badvegan, what are you talking about? A 3.45 GPA is above the 25th percentile at a majority of tier 1 schools… There are plenty of ~3.45 170+s at T14 schools.</p>
<p>Anyway, this is useless until a real LSAT score is in hand.</p>
