177 & 3.72, T5?

juaninathousand

Thanks to J.Y. I was able to get a 177 on the LSAT which is huge because I only have a 3.72 GPA. I was wondering if I realistically had a chance at any top 5 school? I attended an unranked state school so my GPA really shouldn’t be that bad. The “predictor” gives me a pretty good shot, but I guess I was mainly wondering if I would be hurt by the fact that my school lacks prestige. Thanks so much for your help.

I believe the only time your institution would play a factor is if perhaps you’re being compared to someone with identical stats who went to a more prestigious/rigorous school. Other than that they won’t bat an eye. But I understand your apprehension, I also went to a random state school.
