Most people take the LSAT in October of the year before they plan to begin law school (when they plan to start in the fall), but some schools will accept scores from later tests as well.

The LSAT stands for Law School Admission Test. It is designed to level skills necessary for a career in law and there are three multiple choice question types. These types are reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, and logical reasoning.

Oh boy.

Those grades and that LSAT score are both pretty far below average.

I'm not going to say that you won't get into ANY law school with those scores, but you can probably rule out getting into anything above Tier 4. With the economy the way it is, and recent graduates of the best law schools having trouble finding jobs, you probably want to think long and hard if 3 years of intense study, and debt in the high five-figures (or low six-figures) are worth it for a degree which will by no means guarantee you a job.

The SAT Reasoning Test costs $45, whereas the SAT Subject Tests cost $20 per test. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify - just see your school's guidance counselor for a fee waiver application. If you require any other information regarding the SAT prep you can go to this excellent site called www.examviile.com.

Essentially you have asked two questions. First you ask whether the undergraduate school that you attend matters for law school admissions. The short answer is yes. The degree to which it matters, however, depends upon a great number of factors (e.g. relative prestige of the potential aw school, relative prestige of the undergraduate institution). All else being equal, a 3.0 at Harvard will get you into more law schools than will a 3.0 at Arizona State University. This question requires a case-by-case answer. Sorry.

The second question is whether admissions is all about GPA and LSAT? This question doesn't have a definite answer either, but is more answerable than the first. When your test score and GPA information are relayed to potential law schools, most of them plug the numbers into a formula that results in your being assigned a particular score (which of course will be used to rank your application based on probability of admission without consideration of soft factors). Each school will use a formula that weights GPA and LSAT score to a different degree (relative to each other). For example, school A might multiply your GPA by a factor of 10, but only multiply your LSAT score by a multiple of 5, while school B might multiply your GPA by a factor of 5, but multiply your LSAT score by a factor of 10. There is a list somewhere on line that gives approximations of these, but I can't remember where it is. In any case, if you haven't done so, proceed to http://officialguide.lsac.org/UGPASearch/Search3.aspx?SidString= and plug in your current numbers.

Some additional info that I received from a visit at UNC CH helps answer your question. I actually asked the same question while I was there and the dean's answer was pretty much: "We do not look that much into where you went to undergrad at. People have many different reasons for attending the schools they did. For instance some people just may not have been able to afford a different school, they may have needed to stay near by their home town for family problems, or their specific degree was better suited for them at their undergrad school." So if that view is taken at Unc school of law I'm pretty sure it is standardized.

The two main factors in your application are your GPA and LSAT. Your GPA is mainly an indicator of how well you did compared to your fellow students at your school and the lsat is a general "how well did you do compared to other prospective law students on a standardized level." Meaning the lsat conforms all of the applicants to the same scale rather than just comparing how well you did at your school since a student from Harvard who gets a 3.0 is probably more intelligent than a student from ECU who got a 3.5. Does that make sense? Or another example which the Dean also referred to was an applicant from Westpoint was applying and he had a GPA of 2.6. His initial reaction was that the student was an idiot but he checked into the average GPAs of the other students and found that the student was actually alot higher than his fellow students. So it all depends on the school you plan on attending but I would say that if you keep your GPA above a 3.4 and an LSAT above 158, you will have a good shot at getting into any state school unless its a top 20 school such as UC Berkley.

The other factors are the personal statement, academic resume, and addendum. The way I understand it is the personal statement and academic resumes are pretty much tie breakers and the addendum is just a complation of reasons your grades or lsat scores are low and/or your criminal background explanation. The way my LSAT prep book put it is when the schools get the apps, they divide them into three piles once the GPA and LSAT scores are reviewed. The three stacks are definatly getting in, may get in, and definatly not getting in. If there is any room after the first stack, they go through the second stack looking for the best applicants based on their scores and variable qualifications.

A website that you can go to and put your LSAT and GPA in and get a list of schools that meet your qualifications is:

I hope this info helps and exuse any grammatical errors ;-)

Technically yes, you need at least Bachelors degree in any major to be admitted to law school. Law schools do not require specific majors for admission; however, most law school applicants have Bachelors degrees in Business, Criminal Justice, or Political Science. There are, however, some exceptions such as with Cooley School of Law in Michigan, which will allow a student with a certain amount of college credit to be admitted without earning a Bachelors degree. In addition to a Bachelors degree, all potential applicants are required to take the LSAT, or the Law School Admissions Test before admission.

you need to go to undergraduate college first and then you can apply to Harvard law school. before that you need to have at least a 3.7 college GPA and you need to take the LSAT (law school admissions test). most accepted applicants at Harvard have a 168/180 (or higher) on their LSAT.

Search online for law school rankings. Find the listing for the school that you want to attend and look at the LSAT range, which will be the range from the 25th to 75th percentile of the school's last entering class. You will probably need to score in or above this range in order to be accepted.

As a general rule, students wishing to carry on to graduate school and study medicine within the US, do not major in premed. Instead they study a series of courses from a range of departments covering basic biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics.These courses are no different to those that would be covered by freshmen majoring in any of those subjects. Premed students tend to major in one of the sciences although estimates are that up to a quarter end up majoring in the humanities.

If you mean in the United States, there's an awful lot they CAN do to push you into testifying in a case like that -- assuming you mean that you're being subpoenaed by the District Attorney's Office to testify for the Prosecution. However, if you are being put under pressure to testify FOR the defendant as a witness for the Defense, you will have a far greater chance of refusing to testify.

The LSAT or Law School Admission Test is a test administered four times a year at different venues throughout the world. The December 2013 test is available at many venues, for further information the LSAC, Law School Admission Council, website has all of the available venues listed.

With a low GPA, raise it enough to transfer to another college (2.7 should be enough)

Generally the new college will give you transfer credit, but not put the grades in your transcript.

Stay at the new college for two years and work very hard.

Voila, undergrad GPA based on two years rather than 4.

Then apply to grad school.

The Lsat is a very difficult test that many people have issues passing. In order to make sure that you are ready for this test take some time and purchase test prep from the website www.admissionsconsultants.com/lawschool/lsat.asp.

No one in the media knows what Barack Obama's LSAT scores are.

On-line magazine Slate.com investigate the LSAT scores of the presidential candidates who had attended law school (Obama, Edwards, Giuliani, Clinton, Romney, and Thomspon) and could not get a straight answer from any of them.

The topics that are on the "LSAT" forum are "Schools to go to" and "LSAT grading". These two subjects are the most popular and most used topics on the "LSAT" forum.

According to the LSAC guide to law schools, people who score at least 160 have a "good possiblity" of getting accepted into Emory. Your undergraduate grades and other factors will also be considered.

For Harvard: your UGPA is great and your LSAT might get you in. The needed GPA is at least 3.74 and the needed LSAT was 170.

For Stanford: your UGPA is great and your LSAT is good enough. The needed GPA was at least 3.87 and the needed LSAT was 170

For Yale: your UGPA is great but your LSAT wasn't good enough. The needed GPA was 3.5 and the needed LSAT was at least 171. There might be a chance.

Not really, you need a 179 to get into Harvard. But since you are asking if this is a good score, I assume you havent actually taken the test yet. But good luck with law school.
