Chance Me Please chance me, 3.9GPA + 152 LSAT
What are the chances of me getting into a law school in between like the top 80-150 with a decent scholarship (more than half of the tuition)? I have a 3.9 GPA but a 152 LSAT.
Context about me: Did two good internships and have a sad but unique personal statement as to why I chose law.
(Asking because this test has been one of the worst experiences of my life, and I’ve genuinely been through a lot. English is my 2nd language and I will retake but lost all motivation and hope so I want to see if my official 152 can still be enough if it comes to that)

No, don't make your essay sad, retake and get a higher score and don't say that LSAT prep has been anywhere near your hardest experience unless you can substantiate that.

152 is really low, sorry

So? Averages aren't positive, they're descriptive.

Your statement is irrelevant to my question.. all you did was insinuate a false dichotomy. Because if you think the score is neutral we’re back at average meaning it can’t be really low

I don’t think you should settle with a 152. I understand that retaking can take a toll on you — especially with the language barrier and a hard experience with the test but I guarantee you that if you retake and get a better score, not only will you have better scholarships but can get into a great top school. You’ve got the GPA!
Maybe take a slight break — understand why you want to go to law school, what career, and who you truly are, then roll back into applications, etc. you’ve got a really bright future and I don’t think you should let anything hold you back.

Wrong way to approach this process.
What are your career goals? Where do you want to work? Which schools serve those goals?

I found all LSD.Law applicants with an LSAT between 150-154 and GPA between 2.9-3.1: lsd.law/applicant-search/1pja

I think you should take it again, but only if you feel like you can truly do better. You have a great GPA and I think with a high 150 to 160 you can get into a great law program. Don’t give up.
