University of Minnesota?

[beeline]

definitely visit, that's what sold me. call ahead and let them know so they can schedule a tour, a class for you to sit in on, etc. i found the admissions people to be great, great program, i was really impressed all around and didn't necessarily expect to be. PM me if you want, i'm happy to answer more questions.

while i am a fan of the original j.f., the proliferation of julies is freaking me out a little.

Beeline do you know how much they focus on public interest law? Do you know anything about the tuition deal with the Province of Manitoba? How hard to I have to work to establish residency in Manitoba? If I work there next summer would that be enough? Any idea how cut-throat the school is? Does it have a reputation as Liberal or Conservative?

Those would be my questions for now, probably more later...

Would I have much of a chance at Minny with my numbers?  I have a 4.09 GPA in Economics and a 159 LSAT.  The LSAC calculator puts my chances at over 70%.

I would say you probably have over a 70% chance.

I would say you need some serious soft factors in order to get by with a 159, even with your gpa.

What if soft in head?

Boyhoosier,

You should really take advantage of that incredible GPA and take the LSAT again, aiming for a score around 10 points higher.  That way your score would average out to around 164/165, for those schools who average, and would top out at around 169 for those schools who take the highest score.  You have an shot at t-14 schools with a higher lsat score (it would also help with your chances at Minnesota if that is where you would really like to go).
