Your odds
At a 152 LSAT and a 3.3 GPA, you're right at the median, not above the field, since half the admitted class matches those numbers too. Drop to 149 or below on the LSAT and you're in the bottom quarter, though a 59.7% acceptance rate leaves plenty of room. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
