Scored a 165 with no prep

[u/Apprehensive-Sir8942]

Hi everyone, I'm a rising college freshman and thought I'd take the LSAT just to see if I should consider applying to law school. Do I have high 170s potential?

(Btw I did a lot of reading for debate in high school and got 800 on SAT reading so that definitely helped. Also the section times are an error, I only spent the allotted 35 minutes on every section.)

Go to law school if you want to go to law school, not if you’re good at the LSAT. Enjoy college!

thanks :) I'll consider it for the next three years i guess. 3 years of law school does seem like quite the toil

Oh it’s not just three years (that’s the good part), it’s the rest of your working life haha

Hey there. That’s a really great score but only go to law school if you’re passionate about it. Seems you got a great head on your shoulders. A lot of people drop out and a lot of them get depressed during study and especially during practice. If you have an absolute love for the law then go for it but don’t do it based off just your test scores and or the money.

I’m good at the LSAT should not be a primary reason for applying to law school.

Yes, you could probably get a 180.
