[blindlaw] admission question

[Kendrick Kennedy]

Darren,

There are other factors that are looked at when law school committees
evaluate applicants. The LSAT, under graduate GPA, personal references
and the personal letter too. In the Constitutional Law class I took my
first year we had a big discussion on the topic of law school
admission. The professor that instructed the class was and is still on
the admissions committee at UM Law School.

The first question you should ask is was your accommodations fulfilled
when you took the LSAT. Second, was it your first time taking the LSAT
and finally, how can you improve your score. There are several blind
law students that have taken the LSAT and done well on the logic
portion of the LSAT. As well there are many sited applicants that do
not get in to law school and they do not do well on the logic portion
of the LSAT.

I think you should retake the LSAT and reapply to law school.

Thanks, 2K

Being Blind isn't a right, it's a privilege!
