Can I still get in?

[treti]

Hi everybody,

Can somebody provide me with some advice if I get in any law school with the following profile.
GPA: 3.71, LSAT 143, Languages:  Albanian, English, Spanish, etc.  I am trying to downplay my low LSAT score by emphisizing the fact that I prepared, researched and presented my case for political asylum a couple of years ago at an immigration center.  I was awarded asylum on the first try.  What do you think I should do?  Retake the LSAT (which I don't think I can score any higher because English isn't my first language and I have never taken a standardized test before this) or give it a shot?
Please help me!  Thank You

admissions will love your soft factors. if you can get that lsat score to 150, you'll have a great shot at the some great schools.



SO DEF. RETAKE.

I agree- they will like your soft factors. And If you are able to retake the test, by all means do so.

take a course and retake.

Definitely retake.  The LSAT does not measure intelligence, but rather your skill in and understanding of logic (i.e. the relationship between ideas).  I recommend that you buy Powerscore's Logical Reasoning Bible and Powerscore's Logic Games Bible, read them and re-read them, practice with actual past LSATs, and then enroll in a Powerscore weekend course taught in your area.  That's what I did, and it really paid off.  There is more helpful advice in the LSAT section of this board.  Definitely re-take.  You should be able to break 150 even without English as your first language, especially when you learn to diagram arguments!
