I got a 159 and want to exercise the option of including a sheet of paper in my application titled "Explanation of LSAT Score", which talks about why I believe my LSAT score is not reflective of present or future academic performance. Does anybody have experience in doing this, or know what is most effective?
Are these good excuses?- I was scoring mid 160s on practices, I was getting over a cold, the test site was cold, the proctor took forever, and I've never been a great tester. I scored 1430 on the SAT and broke 700 on all 3 sections of the GRE, so I'm not that dumb.
Some context - my ideal schools are Georgetown, UCLA, or Berkeley. My GPA is 3.6.
I would appreciate any advice...Thanks. |

159 is a fair score.
You do not need to attach anything. If so, it may look bad. Attachment is only necessary if your LSAT score is dismal(maybe below 150).
159! come one
Have some pride
