<p>Has anyone received his or her score yet? Just curious...my daughter took the test and is still waiting.</p>
<p>Also, if anyone has any thoughts on UTexas Law, that would be appreciated.</p>
<p>My daughter seems to think that on Monday, Oct 22nd the scores will be released. I'm not sure if they will be on-line.</p>
<p>Rule of thumb- when you can't get onto LSD.org (law school discussion) website, the scores are in the process of being released. The "buzz" is that it may be released on Friday.
From one "law school parent" to another & to all LSAT testtakers- Good luck!!</p>
<p>fedmom- I do believe the scores are on line but it may take a few hours until All scores are released. I don't think they are able to release all scores at the same time.</p>
<p>I also heard today from some people who took the test in June that they received an e-mail on the Saturday evening before the scheduled date with their scores, ie maybe this Saturday they'll be released.</p>
<p>My D just emailed me ...just got her score...164. I have no idea how that positions her for Univ. of Texas Law. She graduated from Northwestern (Medill Journalism) with around a 3.85 GPA, and she has been working in a non-profit law center for the past year. She lives in Austin, so it just makes sense for her to do everything to get into UT. It's pretty competitive for a slot, however. Good luck to everyone else who took the test or has a kid who did!</p>
<p>I would say she has a very very good chance with that GPA from Medill.</p>

<p>UT's website says the median GPA was 3.6 and the median LSAT was 166 for the class that entered the law school in 2006. Sounds to me that as a state resident, she's in good shape!</p>
<p>40-50% chance according to the LSAC data search calculator. Probably a little better considering she went to Northwestern.</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone, for the input. Would anyone suggest that she give it one more shot? She took the LSAT once before (cold) and didn't even request her score because she felt she didn't do well. So then she studied and had a tutor (but still working full-time so not tons of study/practice time) and got the 164 score.</p>
<p>Would taking it again be something to consider? Do they average all of your scores in if you take it more than once? red sox 7327's comment is a little bit discouraging, considering the amount of applicants (5,000) and number accepted (something like 500 or 600 or less than that - not sure the exact number). Anyway - thanks again for the info.</p>
<p>It depends on what she thinks her "actual" score ought to be.</p>
<p>That is, if she takes the test an infinite number of times, what's the average going to be? She should use her practice exams to project this.</p>
<p>If it's a lot higher than 164, then yeah, she should probably retake. If it's within three points or so, it's probably not worthwhile.</p>
<p>violinmom- I just bumped up an old post by Tempus re: average LSAT scores
good info about how some schools are handling multiple scores. In my d's case, I think she decided to stick with her one score!!</p>
<p>Good luck I think your d has a very good shot at U T. as her UG GPA may help her quite a bit.</p>
<p>My understanding--which she should check--is that (1) UT limits out of state students to about one-third of the class. These students have higher LSATs and GPAs IN THE AGGREGATE (2) the LSAC calculator does NOT distinguish between in state and out of state students. The result of this is that the odds for out of state students are over-estimated and those for in-state students are underestimated. If she is a state resident --however UT defines that--her odds are better than those you'll see on the LSAC calculator.</p>
