LSAC reversed their decision regarding Dual Enrollment and GPA. I had an incredibly traumatic event happen in high school, so my dual enrollment transcript is a 2.0. I have been putting off applying for two years because I felt so discouraged seeing my CAS GPA, even though my degree GPA is good. After hearing about the change, I decided this was the year I was going to apply. I contacted LSAC, was told I had to pay to resubmit my transcripts, and got my GPA recalculated. I've been studying to retake the LSAT (previous score 160), and paid to register for the October test. I have my LORs and my essays. Everything felt like it fell into place. Now, my GPA just went down .4 points. No addendum is as compelling as that higher GPA. I feel like they just gave me whiplash but that whiplash is life changing and very expensive. I really don't want to have to wait another year.

My CAS GPA just went up .4 points under the new calculations. I could actually start crying right now😭

Below are the schools currently on my list. Do I have too many? Any good schools I'm omitting? I am retaking the October LSAT and plan to apply right when the scores release. I am shooting for around a 165. I want to work in nonprofit/public interest/government. I am in a queer relationship so would prefer to be in blue cities/states. Thanks!

I’m taking one a week right now on the weekend with 2-3 hours of both timed and untimed drills/review during the weekdays as I work FT. Curious to hear other people’s schedule :)
