I definitely understand that there very few variables that I will be able to have an influence over in that amount of time, such as things that simply require more repetition and practice over time. I am hoping that some familiarization with the different sections of the test will give me a better idea about where I will be able to make the most improvements.

I have the opportunity to apply this year so i am going to give it my best effort. Should things go horrible I will be able to reevaluate and prep much more thoroughly for the next cycle. I would be very happy with any of the schools I have in mind so if there were any chance that i got accepted to one of them this year I am going to take it.

Realistic Goals for Three Month Prep

I decided that I am going to take the lsat in January 2020 so that I can at least make an attempt at being accepted somewhere for Fall 2020. I took the PT and got a 141 without any prior knowledge of the test. All of the schools I am looking at have median lsat scores of 158 or lower. The highest ranking one is in the low 60's. I would like to set a goal for myself of getting between 155-160. Given that I have a 12 week window, is that a realistic goal? I purchased the Powerscore Bible Trilogy and two books with 10 practice tests a piece. I also plan on dedicating 3-4 hours a day M-F, as well as 6+ hours per day on Saturday and Sunday. I also plan on using the 7Sage LSAT Starter. I have no intent on trying to get a scholarship. I just want to be able to submit competitive applications. I have an undergrad GPA of 3.33 and a graduate GPA of 3.53 (I know these don't really count for much).

Long story short, is it realistic to think that I could obtain a score in the mid 150's with a three month study window?
