So, here is some context and real-time consequences any potential student needs to think about when pursuing a law degree. So, not even considering the debt one might acquire and legitimate employment prospects, (not the happy talk of a law school employment office), one must be really candid if you are best suited for the practice of the law.

With that said, according to statistics from the Law School Admission Council—the organization that administers the LSAT—scores higher than those in the 60th percentile correlate with a low risk of failing to eventually pass a bar exam. Scores ranking from the 60th to the 40th percentile, by contrast, correlate with a moderate but rapidly increasing risk of failure. Scores below the 40th percentile correlate with a high risk of failure, and scores below the 25th percentile correlate with an extreme risk of failure, to the point where it is quite unlikely that someone with an LSAT score below 150 will ever pass a bar exam. Currently, you stand at the cusp, statistically speaking, of a legitimately borderline score…

Please take the info with measure and goodwill–I’m not here to dissuade you, but only place you in the position of best available decision making.
