Despite what people might tell you, it isn't just a numbers game, and I'm living proof. It takes some good writing, a good story, and a little luck, but you can get into an elite school with an LSAT that isn't the greatest. Can't even count how many people with similar or better numbers than me who didn't "waste" their money applying outside where Law School Predictor said they should. You'll only apply to law schools once hopefully, and the worst they can do is say no. I'm going to leave this profile up to encourage my low-mid 160's LSAT scorers out there, and also show how much a strong military veteran background might impact an admissions cycle. I'm not really going to check this much anymore, but if anyone has any questions for me, just send a message/leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Additional info & updates

Made my final decision to attend Stanford in the fall

Military/Combat veteran here too. Good luck on your cycle. Hoping I'm at least half as successful as you've been. Good luck with the rest of your cycle.

No kidding on sticking together. SLS has no law vets group and their YLP is only $3K a year. I visited the school last month with my wife and kid, so I won't make it to the ASW next week. The school impressed me beyond my wildest expectations; I hope you have the same experience. It only took one MRE to convince me that I was destined for the ladies department...
