LSAT score was a 162. This puts me in the 87th percentile, which is pretty decent, but which is way more average than I hoped it would be.
Oh, well.
I guess if I wanted to be less-average I should have actually done stuff like prepare, and care about the test, huh?

dude, that’s freaky. you got the exact same score I got. exactly. to the point. maybe we have the same average LSAT gene. in any case, its not a BAD score….

All this proves, I think, is that you are both equally stubborn (vis-a-vis not taking any prep course) and probably equally ambivalent about actually going to law school. In other avenues of life, however, stubbornness is not a bad thing and I’m sure it will serve each of you well in endeavors you passionately want to pursue.

being average is hot

that doesn’t at all preclude a good school; and lawyers pretty much suck anyway. so it’s really win-win, you know?

for not taking any prep courses, I would say that score is above average.

of course, it’s hard to tell from the score whether you took a prep course or not, the score just being a number and all.
I’m with Ada on this (I’m strongly resisting the urge to refer to her as Ada/Mom, although that seems to make more sense anyway…); I would say that your disinclination towards actual preparation means that you are still up in the air on the whole deal. Not that it would necessarily be a bad deal for you. However, I’m pretty sure that whatever you were to do with a JD, the final result would not simply be you putting your shingle out to do wills and tax consulting the rest of your life.
For that matter, even if that’s what you were to do, it still would not make a difference whether you scored a 162 or a 173, or any other three-digits-left-of-the-decimal-point number beginning with one. I’m of the opinion that any training you ever receive will end up as merely an adjuvant to your work.
