Good for you for forging ahead!

My Terribly Practical question is this: what is your goal with your law school journey? If your goal is to get in to a Tier 1 or 2 school, then a 154 probably isn't going to cut it. With a good GPA and a great entrance essay though, a 154 is perfectly respectable and could get you into some great programs.

If you have your heart set on one school, then you need to work amazingly hard and overshoot, since the LSAT scores are averaged together - so raising your score can be difficult. I scored under a 160, and opted not to re-take, since my target schools were in that range anyway, and I had a good GPA.

If you're open to other scholastic options, a 154 can get you in all over the place. Just something to consider. :)

You CAN do this. I have faith in you. I may gripe and moan about law school, but it's really the most intellectually challenging thing I've ever done, and I'm glad I'm doing it. You will be, too. :)
