UptightAloofBonobo
20:59

BlueAndWhiteGuy
20:59

BetterCallLSAC
20:59
i’ve seen ppl get into T14 w lsats way below median so i imagine can be same w gpa
BetterCallLSAC
21:00
i would say u should be good for a T50 maybe even T30 but beyond that may be hard
BetterCallLSAC
21:00
they do love military service tho so it may help to balance that out
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:00
yeah but i wasn't no war hero
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:00
:')
BetterCallLSAC
21:02
i still think it helps! at the end of the day if you can land a 170+ on the lsat you’ll def be okay to get into an ABA law school
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:02
ty for that. The pressure's definitely on
BetterCallLSAC
21:02
especially with military service and a good addendum
BetterCallLSAC
21:03

@BlueAndWhiteGuy: ~2.5 gpa graduating this semester, also an AF vet (assuming from your name), 174 LSAT, and I got into a T20 today
ElegantPlover
21:18
Get an above median LSAT and they'll take a look at you. Some schools are more willing to overlook a low gpa than others
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:19
that's wild how high you were able to score on your LSAT though, jesus christ
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:19
Yes I'm AF vet
ElegantPlover
21:19
174! If you've PT'd a 170 already you can totally get a 174,
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:20
I've always been a strong test taker especially with comprehension and such, I tested out of Freshman English
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:21
But Idk if i'm 99.2 percentile good
ElegantPlover
21:22
If you're above median at WashU they'll give you strong consideration. And they allow you to apply GPA redacted. Probably need at a 173 or 174. GW is also a strong option if you can hit ~168/169
ElegantPlover
21:23
Plan to take the LSAT more than once if you need to, it's okay, worth it, and totally normal. Don't need to hit it on your first try
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:24
GPA redacted? that's a thing?
ElegantPlover
21:25
at WashU, yes. They just assume it's bad. Jury is out on whether it actually makes a difference.
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:26
I've never heard of that wtf
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:32
So you did that for WashU St louis?
ElegantPlover
21:36
Yep!
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:39
You got into a T20 with a 2.57 GPA and you're not URM
BlueAndWhiteGuy
21:39
That's actually wild af
