Hi Ann, I graduated in 2010 and directly following did an AmeriCorps program. I applied for law school last fall (part time) with an LSAT score of 144 and mediocre GPA of 3.0 from a Big Ten University. I regrettably admit that I went ahead and applied naively thinking maybe my participation with AmeriCorps would overshadow my low LSAT score and was applying part time because I will have to start out part-time for personal financial reasons.
After successfully completing my AmeriCorps program I am now working in a law firm and want to take the February LSAT and possibly apply for Fall 2012 but maybe now after reading some of your blogs am thinking I should wait until I get that LSAT score to know for sure it goes up and if I should wait until 2013. The reason I want to take it in February is so I can have ample time to prepare and study which I did not give myself for the other times, (First time (June 2009) I took the test with no preparation which resulted in a 141, the second time (September 2009) I took a prep course 3 weeks prior and resulted a 144).
I took the test with no preparation after taking a practice test that estimated I would score in the 155 range. Any thoughts or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.
CL, I’m glad my posts have been getting through to you because I do think that’s a good plan. I think you may want to consider an LSAT tutor since this would be your last opportunity to take the exam.
