  My hope will be getting a 170.

  @IreneShrimpeater No problem. You’re only five points away from your target score. I think you should probably retake the January test. The application deadline for Berkeley is February 15th if I’m not mistaken. Berkeley is one of my top choices as well.

  I've heard that Berkeley favors high GPA over a high lsat score and a 165 is really good, great job! This is a small sample size but I've met a few recent students at Berkeley with similar gpas and lower last scores than you, I think it sounds like you have a pretty good shot applying now especially with those softs (tough major, grad school). But if you do plan to retake, the trainer did wonders for me for RC if you haven't tried that yet. Best of luck!

  You did a lot better than me, and I would like to hear what others say!
