Boston College Law School<\/a> was founded in 1929. Currently, it sits at number 30 in the US News rankings for law schools in the U.S. In 2015 it had 3,631 applicants and enrolled 234 of them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a private, Jesuit law school, just outside of downtown Boston, MA, and has to compete directly with Boston University and Harvard for applicants and job prospects. You\u2019re going to spend around $43,511 per year in tuition, so I\u2019d recommend looking at scholarship options<\/a> if you get accepted here.

Boston College Law School LSAT ranges<\/h2>\n

164 and higher: If you can score higher than a 163 you are in great shape. Make sure your grades are decent, anything over a 3.56 will do.<\/p>\n

162-163: Scoring in this range will put you in a good position to get accepted. You\u2019ll want a higher GPA, maybe more along the lines of a 3.65 or more. If you can do that, you\u2019ll be ahead of much of your competition.<\/p>\n

158-161: Scoring in this range will make getting admitted much more difficult. You will need to nail your application, probably have a diverse background, and want to have a GPA sitting over 3.85, minimum. If you can\u2019t do those things, your chances of getting in will be pretty slim, though it could still happen.<\/p>\n

157 and lower: Scoring lower than a 158 will put you in a very difficult position. Over 75% of the accepted applications were higher. You\u2019ll have a lot of climbing to do for sure. First, I\u2019d recommend retaking the LSAT. Second, you should seriously consider other law schools in the area. There is Northeastern Law School<\/a> and Suffolk Law school<\/a>, at least in Massachusetts, that you should consider.<\/p>\n
