Whelp... Hello October.
Yep. I'm already registered for October. Score came in today -- few days earlier than scheduled which was fine with me. Well, would have been fine if my score wasn't so low.
Alright. So, I'm sure a lot of people would be happy with a 154. I'm in the 60th percentile. But still... It's not what I wanted. I was hoping to score about 165. That's what I was testing before I took the actual test. Needless to say, I'm so fucking disappointed in myself it's not funny. I'm just feeling like anytime I try to push my life in a direction I get a door slammed in my face. I couldn't get into schools for Music History. Tried (albeit one) school for violin performance and got rejected. And now scoring so low.
I'm just... I feel absolutely lost.
♥ Thanks, guys, for putting up with me. And thanks for all the amazingly brilliant comments on my last couple of posts. I seriously do not know what I'd do without you guys right now. I really, really don't. I'm blessed to have such amazing and supportive friends. I'll hit up replies tomorrow. Right now... I'm just not up for looking at much.
I need a hug right about now. *sigh* Or some vodka.

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. :)
