  It happens. URM's generally get some more freedom with LSAT scores, for non-URM's it is unusual. You are what is called a reverse splitter, one whose GPA is above the 75th and LSAT is below the 25th. Generally, reverse splitters do well at some specific schools that value GPA highly. You can find a list online but off the top of my head, Minnesota and maybe UVA.

  It's possible. But of course, the best plan is to study hard and retake when you are PTing higher. Your LSAT score is more malleable than your GPA and LSAT scores are more heavily weighted in law school rankings, so most law schools are going to rely more on your LSAT score than GPA.

  It is very likely that it happens. But the people that happens to likely have something stellar on their application and a near-perfect GPA.

  Happened to me but I got barely any scholarship money. I think part of the acceptance had to do with my being a resident of the state the school is in. Wouldn’t recommend going to law school with a bare minimum merit scholarship.

  Yeah, I'd highly encourage you to retake! You can't change your GPA, but you can redo your LSAT.

  Me! Although, I would agree with the posters above. Good scholarships are definitely harder to obtain when you're a reverse splitter. If you PM me I can tell you more!
