146 score and got accepted
I scored a 146 on my LSAT and didn’t expect any school to accept me. I not only got an acceptance but also a scholarship. I believe the scholarship is due to my GPA (it wasn’t the best though). I understand the drive and appeal of getting into a top tier school and wished I had put more effort in myself for a better score. That being said, I worked as an intern at a law firm for a few months both for experience and school credit and was advised by all the attorneys that just getting into was good enough and that there are certain things about all law a schools like the criminal law courses that are pretty much the same. Their advice was also to go somewhere that had a really good professor to student ratio and was not pushing six figures a year much less a semester. Although the goal is always a really good school make sure you take into account schools lower in the ranking list to ensure a spot. I believe it’s more important to make it into law school than to get into a really good school. If you can do both great. If not, at least meet the goal of making it into a school and work your butt off to transfer to a higher ranked school later. Not all will agree with this and that’s ok
