First, do not let a score on the LSAT stop you from being a potentially great Attorney. I don't have any facts or examples of your case, but I do believe some law school will accept you. Just keep your expectations realistic. There are definitely tier 3 and tier 4 schools that should admit you if you applied before their respective deadlines. It is just a matter of if they offer the quality of teaching in the area of law you want to practice. Most of the top schools (e.g. tier 1 and tier 2) at this point in the admission cycle are seeing thousands of applications with your GPA and LSAT scores that they are accustomed to admitting. This means that you will be compared to them at this filing point. My advice would be to wait till the very beginning of the admission cycle for 2021 (e.g. some schools take Applications as early as the middle of Sept.), if you were applying with your current scores to a tier 1 or tier 2 school. Why? If your application is one of the very first applications an admission counselor sees and the competition has not heated up with higher scores yet, you might get lucky and get admitted. The worst the tier 1 and tier 2 institutions can say is no. This will give you time to research the schools you could likely get into with your current scores in order to apply to those as well, whether the school in a certain tier will prepare you for the law you want to practice, decide if law school is for you and maybe think about the GRE since schools are considering this as an LSAT alternative. Again, I want to reiterate that I believe, but it may not be true, that a tier 3 or 4 school should admit you. I wouldn't encourage you to apply for any of the top 30 just yet, but if your other credentials are very good and top schools see you just had a hard time, you never know with a 100% certainty if you apply super early in the next admission cycle whether you will be turned down or admitted. Don't give up if law is really what you want to do.
