Hi everyone! I am just looking to get some advice...
I live in Austin (TX resident) and am applying to law school in the Fall 2021 cycle. I really want to go to UT Austin but I am a splitter and curious if anyone has insight. I know UT Austin's L50 for LSAT has risen to 168 and I am pretty far off). Here's my background:
BS in Biomedical Engineering - GPA: 3.843 (2019)
MS in Biomedical Engineering - GPA: 3.833 (2020)
LSAT: 160 (I've taken twice and I think my second time score was worse, so going with my first score)
I've worked in medical device industry for 3+ years, in R&D (as an engineer) and now full time in Regulatory Affairs (legal function) in medical devices.
Interested in IP and Patent law with my engineering background and have worked in biotech/life science for a long time.
Thoughts on applying ED? Will this greater my chances of acceptance? Is this school too high a reach for someone with my LSAT score?
Realistically, I don't think I'll be able to re-take the LSAT for a third time (August) and boost it up to anywhere near the median. I know some people have suggested I take a third time, aiming closer to 163 (L25 is 164). I know myself and working full-time still, studying this summer and writing my personal statement (and getting ready for application cycle), I just don't see myself committing the entirety of my free time to re-studying a third time..
