raising GPA

Is a 150 avg LSAT high enough to get into a top tier? Don't most have a bottom LSAT score before they even consider your GPA etc... If they don't average scores, that 162 is respectable...

Consider this edger as well, it may or may not help; assuming English isn't your first language - find a theatrical speaking coach and learn Broadcaster Standard English. Even native speakers of English can often benefit by developing their ability to "switch" on Broadcaster speak.

just a couple thoughts

 

You're welcome; I forwarded your email to Bruce and he did all the work.

Coach, if you define top tier as "top 100" and have 4.0 gpa you'll have about 40% chance to get into some schools at the very bottom (#95-100). Double that if you're an "underrepresented minority" or about to cure cancer.

Here is a tool to calculate your chances http://officialguide.lsac.org/UGPASearch/Search3.aspx?SidString= Click "return to search" if you get white screen

This here allows you to view the actual numbers of some applicants to different schools this year. and schools' decisions http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com/graphs.php?cycle=4&school_code=0008

Every applicant gets an index which is a product of LSAT and GPA. For example, they multiply your gpa by 40 and add LSAT, that's just an example, every law school has its own formula. More weight is usually given to LSAT over GPA (like 60%/40%, also an example).

Thanks for Broadcaster info, I'm researching that right now.

P.S. My average is not 150, I only took the real thing once and got 162. When I just started studying for the test, I was getting 137-140 on practice tests at home.
