Try this and see where you would have stood after getting your bachelor's degree...as far as gussing your test scores:
140 = poor
150 = okay
160 = good
I always wondered how this worked. Both my friends were told that they hardly any chance of getting into Emory or UGA with probability calculator and 3.6 GPS and 150-162 last area while filling out applications. One is at UGA law school and other is at Emory. Assume they wrote great admission paper.
I know I have to do my best with my LSAT scores when I take it after I finish my master's degree based of GPA for undergrad ( 3.25 gpa) :(

You do know that who you know is more important than what you know...if you have a rec letter from a well respected politician you will be in like flynn...
Or be the kind of minority that they want in their program...you could be the next Thurgood or Clarence.

no no no, I dont hate you....... I hate the person that came up with GPA's...
There are schools that take people with 2.75+ GPAs...but you will need at least a 150 and they will be tier 3 or tier 4 schools...like below the top 50 schools for sure. Unless you are well connected.

I know that! I already have letter recommendations from few politicians, but im waiting two years before I go. I have to be commissioned officer in military for 2 years before I apply to FLEP. Yep! I am using that too and proud minority here.

under represented minorities can't really make good use of those law school probability calculators. you have to do the legwork--talk to people, find great online resources (LSN :: Welcome to LawSchoolNumbers.com, www.lawschooldiscussion.org) to figure out what schools you should consider to reach for and target.
there was just something in the news friday about a "clout list" of "category 1" applicants to u of i, which has apparently gotten extremely competitive to get into lately. its for applicants that are underqualified and would normally be denied, but are given a chance to "appeal" the admissions decision, usually because a politician or lobbyist pressures the school into accepting them.

yeah i can take it again, i just cant afford to at the moment. i barely make it paycheck to paycheck and the lsat prep course i want to take is nearly $2,000... i'm taking it one day at a time and i'm trying desperately to not get too detached from my dream.

Prep courses are a waste of money and time...on the average your score will only go up 5-10 points. The LSAT is a psychometric test...made by a bunch of MENSA level type of psychiatrists and educators.
Basically you either have it or you don't. If you didn't get it K-12...you prolly never will. I would suggest investing in a few LSAT study guides and consulting with a private tutor for the exam...prolly be cheaper.
If you study one hour 5 days a week for at least 3 months your score will improve.
You can't BEAT the LSAT...but there are ways to get at least a 150.
