Anyway, I wanted to know what I would need on my LSAT to get into U of Mich law. My GPA is 3.41 and am applying for Fall 2009.
I have been reading up on U of M and they say they look at a number of factors including leadership abilities, community service, and public interest. I was the president of my fraternity this past year and my fraternity won Most Improved Chapter Award out of almost 300 national chapters. One of my LORs is by my chapter advisor who is going to talk about my leadership abilities. We did a lot of community service and my perrsonal statement focuses on community service/public interest work.
I dont mean to sound pretentious, I am just trying to give you all of the important details that an admissions officer may see. Anyway, I was curious what kind of LSAT I am going to have to score in October to get into U of M and what sort of score would get me a decent financial package. Thanks.

When law schools say they evaluate the whole candidate and not just the numbers - its good PR. In many ways, it's true that they look at other things. But, 95% of what decides your fate at most schools is your GPA/LSAT. The graphs on LSN wouldn't look the way they do if that wasn't true. Schools really do want to admit special people who have interesting things about them. They just like that to be wrapped up in a nice high GPA/LSAT combination.

163-167 are more in line.
The higher your LSAT score is, the better the odds of getting a scholarship. I have a friend with a 3.2ish GPA and a 170 LSAT; got into U of M and rec'd a decent scholarship.
