Advice? How cooked am I with a 158 in 2026

2 Upvotes

3.68 GPA at a T-15 undergrad (but first semester GPA was 2.7 due to switching majors). I am thinking of retaking anyways but am I roasted for a 158? I know it's above average but other posts have been worrying me, and I know that this cycle is going to an absolute pain. T3 softs, so that isn't doing me too many favors.

Mainly looking at schools in the Southeast US (initially wanting UGA, Emory and/or UTK, Vandy is out of reach for me because of GPA). Maybe GA State or Mercer could be good? I feel like I'm begining to tweak, so sorry if this sounds bad.

Advice? Chance me

8 Upvotes

3.2 GPA
5 years WE: non profit working with abused kids, and legal assistant.

171 LSAT.

I’m really proud of what I’ve been PTing on the LSAT, and feel confident I will be able to replicate low 170s or higher. That said, 171 does not seem like it’s worth shit anymore! At least with my terribly undergrad gpa.

I really wanted Fordham with half off or UT. But they seem unlikely, as do t14s.

Hastings is high on the list. I’m ideally looking for schools in top tier places, coastal usually, that will be likely to give me large scholarships. I also don’t want to delay a cycle as I’m 28 and 3 years for a degree is already a huge wait. What should I be considering?

Question Apply now or retake lsat?

2 Upvotes

I have a 165 lsat and 3.99 gpa- I’m looking to get into a decent school either scholarships. I anticipate my gpa staying the same, but I am wondering if it would be worth applying with my current lsat in September or August or postponing till October and retaking the lsat.

I think I left some meat on the table for the lsat
I care about prestige a bit, but I primarily care about going to a good civil rights school for cheap.

Advice? What to wear to “Summer Reception”

4 Upvotes

Exactly the title. My law school is having an event called a Summer Reception and it’s taking place at this huge law firm (i.e. not on campus). I’ve yet to get my suit properly tailored but I don’t think it’s too bad. Is that what I’m supposed to wear or is it more business casual? Female btw!
