<p>[Top</a> 2012 Law School Rankings](<a href=“http://www.top-law-schools.com/rankings.html]Top”>Law School Rankings)</p>
<p>Judging by your stats, getting into any of the schools you listed will be extremely unlikely. Your GPA is below the 25th percentile of almost every law school in the top 100. Your LSAT is not terrible, but is only the median score for Loyola. I’d say your chances are slim at best. As for other California schools, your LSAT makes you a splitter at Chapman, UoP, USF, Santa Clara, and that’s about it. If you are interested in those schools, I would say you have a shot at each of them. </p>
<p>Here’s the deal. You have a crap GPA and a middling LSAT score. Guess which one of these you can actually improve? </p>
<p>Take a look at the employment stats of the schools you are competitive for
([LST</a> Score Reports](<a href=“6 Keys to a Stellar Law School Resume - Professional Resume Writers”>6 Keys to a Stellar Law School Resume - Professional Resume Writers)) and ask yourself if you are comfortable with those odds, particularly considering the debt you will have to take on. If not, retake, retake, retake. </p>
<p>Of course, if you are a URM, your chances can change rather drastically. The advice is relevant nonetheless. RETAKE.</p>
