Re: Law School Application Time

FWIW I had a 162 and a ~3.6 in biology and Berkeley was a reach for me, didn't get in. Also didn't get into UCLA, which I would've loved to.

I've been reading the forums on top-law-schools.com a bunch lately, and they seem to really know what they are talking about over there. Being a white male with a 3.6/165 and no exceptional story, my chances at Berkeley are next to 0 according to them. UCLA is even considered to be a reach for me.
I'm now considering waiting a year to apply. My senior year grades could boost my GPA as high as 3.75, and considering I put a grand total of about 10 hours into LSAT prep, I'm quite certain I could raise that score significantly too. Plus another year of work experience or possibly travelling the world couldn't hurt. Think I will apply to some schools this year, and take it if I get any really good offers, but otherwise wait and not lower myself to a T-50 or something when I know I could be good enough to do T-14.
