Your odds

At 155 on the LSAT and a 3.6 GPA, you're right at Quinnipiac's median, with a quarter of admits scoring 158 or higher. Drop to 153 or below and you're in the bottom quarter, where a 43.1% acceptance rate can still turn into a no. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
