I've got exactly 170 for the recent January Flex and I want to hear people's opinions about my odds for T14 Law schools.
I am a Korean-American dual citizen and currently attending T20 undergrad in the US. My ugpa is mid 3.8s as of now but I will try to raise it to something as close to 3.9 as possible. My SOFT factor is not phenomenal (one or two leaderships, award at a movie fest, short internship experiences & etc.) but I will try to expand my experience once I get discharged from my mandatory service in the army.
Although I am planning to apply for law school in 2022-23 cycle, this year's cycle gives me an impression that my stats may no longer guarantee my spot at a T14 law schools. Should I try to retake the LSAT and aim for a higher score? Or should I focus on increasing my UGPA and expand on my SOFTs? I really want to increase my odds at getting into T14 law schools and I want to hear your opinions about the steps that I should take.
Any kind of input would be much appreciated, thank you!
@ Thank you for your comment!
170 was definitely not the highest score I had but I was happy with the score regardless because I thought I kind of bombed the RC section (My PT score was around 168-172, with 175 being the highest; RC was definitely my weakest spot).
Getting a stellar LOR would definitely be my focus once I get back to campus as the gap years incurred by my military service literally puts me back to square one as far as student-professor relationship is concerned.
Thanks to your comment, I think I am a little more positive about retaking the exam as long as I manage to raise my PT average to 172-175 range ish... but I guess only God knows if I can make that extra one step.
Anyways, I really appreciate your advice, as it really helped me to clear my mind! I wish best of luck to everyone who commented on this thread!
