LSAT Merge For Free

Both the GPA and the LSAT score you supplied are well below the 25th percentile for students who are admitted to HLS. Harvard generally expects numbers more in the 3.9 / 173 range. Your 3.4 / 166 combo makes you a viable candidate for admission to several Tier One law schools, though.

170 score: Scoring a 170 on the LSAT is almost always considered a good score that means you are in the 2-3% of test-takers. Still, it won't guarantee you admission at a top law school. Other parts of your application are still a factor.

Candidates with multiple LSAT scores will be evaluated using all reported scores. However, the Law School will no longer solely consider an applicant's average score in the admissions review process.

179 is an absurdly ambitious goal that only a tiny fraction of test takers will ever achieve. It's not impossible, as the LSAT is a very learnable test, but it will be monstrously difficult and may very well never happen.

So, on average, almost 7 out of 10 test takers yearly are taking the LSAT for the first time. Thus, when you go to the test center for the first time, the majority of people around you are also there for the first time. What about people repeating the test?

Therefore, to gain admission to Harvard Law School, you will likely need an LSAT score in the 170+ range. An LSAT score in the 170s tied with a GPA over 3.75 will make you a competitive applicant.

160 score: A score of 160 or above is typically considered a good LSAT score. Although it may not be high enough to get into the highest tier of law school, there are many very reputable law schools with median LSAT scores in this area.
