Can a 143 LSAT get you into law school?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Law school admission depends on many things, including your LSAT score and undergraduate GPA, but schools may also consider other factors. The LSAC offers a searchable guide to give you an idea of what schools might accept you based upon your scores and grades (the link is available under "related links" below). While it may be difficult for you to get accepted with those credentials, it is not necessarily impossible - you just have to find a school that is willing to accept that range, and it might not be one of your top choices.

Answer 3

there are many factors that alter the answer to this question. Your GPA plays a role, in addition to your personal statement. It is possible to get into law school with a 143 but like I stated before, there are numerous factors that mitigate acceptance.

You really need to be somewhere around 160. You can take the LSAT again and try to improve your score. There are several companies that offer LSAT classes. The PowerScore Bibles are probably the best study guides and you can also purchase old LSAT tests for practice.

Answer 4

Not any reputable one. You should do some serious LSAT studying.

Answer 5

No, especially with ABA law schools. You MIGHT, just MIGHT, be able to attend a local, non-ABA approves law school (here in CA)

Answer 6

It will depend on a number of factors. If you really want to go to law school, you can find one that will accept you. Check the entrance requirements for those that match your scores.

Answer 7

I don't think so.
