<p>I just graduated yesterday from a large state school with a 3.83 GPA. In addition, I was given the Outstanding Student in Political Science award earlier this year. I am considering the possibility of attending law school with a focus on women/gender (I know a few schools in particular offer programs along these lines). I have not yet prepared for the LSAT because I am still only considering the possibility, but assuming I did fairly well, would a school like Columbia be out of my league? Their gender program, along with George Washington's, particularly interested me. Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>There’s no point in answering this question when you don’t even have a clear idea of what you’re going to get on the LSAT. Everyone says “assume I do well”, but what is “well” for you? At 172+ (which is around the 99%ile), I would say it’d be no problem. I would say something around a 169 (still 97%ile) would be the minimum to give you a decent shot at CLS.</p>
<p>Well, I guess what I implied but should have explicitly stated is that I was kind of wondering what I would need, given my other stats, to get into a school like Columbia. </p>
<p>So given that I’d probably need a 169-170 to be considered at Columbia, what type of schools should I apply to if I scored somewhere around a 162-163? I’m not too familiar with law school rankings or anything at the moment. If I do end up taking the LSAT I’ll probably take the Powerscore course as I don’t want to risk messing up my decent GPA with a subpar LSAT score.</p>

<p>go to the CLS page, you can see peoples stats and whether or not they got accepted.</p>
<p>Thanks, that’s a great website. Just one question: when looking at individual statistics, how do some people have above a 4.0 college GPA?</p>
<p>LSAC weights 'A+'s as 4.3</p>
<p>I wish my school gave A+'s…</p>
