I am hearing from several pre-law advisors that they have seen students with 3.9 gpa's get in the 140's on the lsat.
I haven't taken the lsat yet, but have a 3.9 so far at cornell (arts and sciences).
Has anyone here done poorly on the lsat despite a high gpa?
I have heard of low gpa's with high lsat score (from those who slacked off in college, but were smart)
I can't fathom that someone with a high gpa can do poorly on the lsat. I am hoping to get at least in the mid-160's, but am getting more and more worried.

Well, aren't some students enrolled in less than competitive programs? I mean, someone who is successful in a criminal justice program at tier three school may not necessarily preform on the same level as someone with 3.9 at Cornell.

High GPAs aren't equivalent between schools and, therefore, aren't necessarily a good predictor of LSAT score.

Yes, that is true as there are a lot of schools that have grade inflation, so I don't know how accurate that would be as a predictor.

Certainly a High Lsat score is often coupled with a high gpa; however high gpas, which are far more common than high lsat scores, are not themselves very predictive of lsat performance.
