Yeah. There are some good resources on transferapps on yahoo and on the transfer section on TLS that can give you a good idea of what range you're in

162. My 2nd-lowest score ever.

FUCK. That could hardly have gone any worse.

Sorry :(

That's far from terrible though. You can still get into a good school with that score. LSAT scores have very little predictive value anyway. Don't let it get you down too much

Thanks man. I don't mean to be over-dramatic, I know that relatively speaking, it's a decent score. But I was routinely scoring 165+ on the practice exams so it's hard not to see it as a personal failure. Now I just have to decide whether or not to retake. Le sigh.

Just committed to Brooklyn Law School. Been out of college for two years, so getting back into the fold should be interesting.

I really think you should retake it. You can score as high as possible in all of your practice tests, but its not going to really mean anything until you're in the actual test environment. Now that you know what to expect, it shouldn't phase you a second time.

From my own personal story, I scored 9 points higher my second time taking it. Trust me, its worth it for the familiarity of the environment alone.

Pepperdine. It was either that or Arizona State, but visiting Pepperdine sealed it. ha One of my best friends actually almost committed to BLS for next year. I think the city environment would be awesome.

I've been living/working in NYC for the past 2 years, so yea, I've gotten used to city life. I got into some better schools, but BLS gave me a very generous scholarship offer.

Congrats on Pepperdine though! Heard the campus is beautfiul. It always beat out my alma mater (Richmond) for prettiest campus in the country. But cheers to both us potentially taking the bar in the two hardest states!

I feel you. I scored like 8 points lower on the real thing than I was consistently scoring on diagnostics. I didn't retake, but really only because I didn't have the time. If time isn't a constraint, I definitely would if I were you

Good luck to both of you . Just finished my 1L year in the top 15% so if you want any advice or anything either now or in the fall once you've started, feel free to PM me.
