162/3.4 chance? Forum

[feiniao]

I didn't do well with LSAT. Only prepared it for one month without taking any prep courses. Plus, English isn't my native language.

I don't know how seriously law schools take recommendation letters. I got one from an attorney-I worked for him and one from a BU trustee-I took her class and keep in constant touch.

Because of financial concerns, I prefer part-time schools or lower ranking ones with some $$. I am thinking about the followings:

Fordham
Indiana Bloomington
Cardozo
BU

I majored in Philosophy and worked for a law firm for two years.

Thanks for any thoughts!!!

Are you a URM?

IUB and Cardozo are the only places you could get into with those numbers. Retake or adjust your expectations.

Don't know about Cordozo, but OP is a ding at IUB. Medians there are 3.7/164.

IU wouldn't be definite... in fact, it might be a rather slim chance given their apps are up 55% this year and there seems to be a pronounced 164 lsat line on LSN for acceptance.

I worded my reply poorly. IUB and Dozo would be the only places OP would have a chance. Pretty sure his numbers are auto-ding for BU and Fordham.

OP, there are a slew of other part time programs throughout the country that you'd be a lock for w/your numbers. What are your main considerations.... region, money, best school possible, etc?
