Here's the story: I graduated with a 3.0 GPA in Political Science at the University of Rhode Island. I just received the results back from the October 4th LSAT (147). I had been consistently scoring in the 146-151 range, is it worth the retake to bump my score up a point or two? Or should I apply as early as possible and better my chances, I heard most schools are rolling admission. I'm not fixated on a particular school, I'd just like to go somewhere warm (CA or FL). I'm aware these numbers are probably only applicable for Tier 4 schools, someone please reassure me I'll be accepted somewhere!!!

REALITY ALERTI'm calling bull$hit on some of you cuz this is ridiculous. There is something seriously wrong when people claim they were getting up to 180's on practice tests (yeah right unless you fudged something while taking it) but then end up with actual scores in the 160's. It's also especially bothersome when people who got scores in the high 160's complain about their lives being over and purgatory and all that crap. Stop sniffing the glue and paint thinner, put away the BS and the razor blades. If you want to lie to yourself, that is your deal, but posting that you were getting 180's on PT's stinks like a dogs butt, especially when you end up with something in the 160's. Anybody familiar with the term denial? Call me crazy cliffy today, anybody that can legitimately get a 180 on a fresh PT can and should get something in the 170's on test day unless Martians melted your brain and it leaked out your ear in the test center or something.Take a look in the mirror people and at least be honest with yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zpTQCQEFhg
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! I need some kind of encouraging advice. I'm begging for someone to make me feel better.I have a 3.9 at a well respected state school in Texas. I'm smart, hard working, and have no doubt I will succeed in law school. Oh yeah...except I completely MESSED UP the October test!!! I made a..cringe...156. I was scoring 163 - 167 on PTS. Am I screwed? Did this score just completely trump 4 years of hard academic work? I'm absolute wreck and I'm GOING CRAZY!! I have high expectations for myself and I feel as if I ruined them all....I'm obviously retaking it but I'm scared shitless.
You could leave a cardboard cutout of Erik Estrada at the front counter and I guarantee you no one would ever know the difference. Not so much because you resemble Erik Estrada, more so because you have the personality of cardboard.
I got a 166. This was after consistently testing between 172 and 175. I'm incredibly disappointed in myself, which isn't something I'm used to at all. I thought I absolutely destroyed the test, too.I can still go to Cornell, I guess, and I have a tiny chance at Georgetown (which is where I really want to go). I've got a 4.00 GPA on my side, but that doesn't really mean much given my score.Thankfully, I'm not applying until next year (I'm still a junior), so I might retake in June. The problem is, I spent more than a year preparing for the October exam, and I'm not really sure I can do any better than I did, despite my PT scores saying quite differently.@#!*.
