WARNING: You will find some absolutely, ridiculously shameless bragging if you keep reading!!!
I got my LSAT score back 171 out of 180 - 98th percentile.
Some people spend thousands of dollars on prep classes for this test, order fifty previously administered actual tests from the law school admissions counsel (is counsel spelled right? I am too freaked out to know!) No, it's council. Whew.
So I took out "Master the LSAT 2001" and "Princeton Review LSAT 2000" from the library, didn't read much of the advice because I thought it was lame, took a practice test I didn't time and then sat on them for months. Then, THE DAY BEFORE THE TEST, I took one and a quarter more practice tests (scoring a 168) and that was it. I had never taken a real previously administered LSAT. I had no idea what the hell I was going to get. It could have been a 150 for all I knew.
98 percent! Where are those 2 percent fuckers? I'll kick their asses!
Some fun facts that I further inflated my ego with after getting the score:
Although I have almost no chance of getting in at Harvard or Yale because my GPA isn't a 4.1, a quarter of the students walking around at those, probably the highest in regard of all law schools, SCORED LOWER THAN ME! on the admissions test.
There are about 160 schools, according to the Law School Admissions Council GPA/LSAT search tool (which calculates the likelihood of you getting in based on the profile of the accepted students from the previous year), that I stand a 100% chance of getting accepted at.
How many schools do I stand a less than 100% chance of getting into? Around 35. And I still have a good chance of getting into most of them.
So I am thrilled and excited and I would be proud of myself except that I can't stop all of this disgusting bragging...
