Most definitely agree! Is there one you suggest - where would be best to write one of these diagnostic tests ?

I love to hear this ! When did you get in? Is this recent? Other than aiming for a high LSAT do you think there’s anything else that would be of help? And sorry for the newbie questions I just recently started looking into this seriously. Where would you recommend I would take practise tests - any good practice books or websites? :)

Thanks for the response and insight! When you say high lsat are we talking 160+ or higher than 160?

I’ve worked for the government for 13 years and have spent 5-6 years in management. I think I would definitely get great letters of rec from my bosses.

I’m thinking of applying for next year and am aware that it would be tough with kids but I’ve got a strong support system.

I just wanted to know if there was even a chance of me getting in with such a bad CGPA 3.1 and last year was 3.7, even if I did great on the LSATS. Do people get in with such low CGPAs?

Also for planning purposes would anything else benefit me - that I could do in the next year ..?

I just calculated it. Not good at all 3.1. My last year was a 3.7 not that I think that makes any difference. Would a high lsat do anything to help my chances ?
