I got a 143 on my LSAT's, which I know is low, I really don't care to hear low it is. Truth is though, I have a 3.6 GPA and I am not trying to get into any really good law schools. I want to try Wayne State Law or Detroit Mercy's Law school. I really really dont want to take the tests again. I have had friends with similar Test scores and lower GPA's get in to U of D Law School, just curious what your guys take on it is.

Find out what the range of LSAT scores are for those two schools. That will give you an idea of your chances.
Anyone with any score can get into any school. There are exceptions to everything. However, if you want to get a good idea of your chances, then find out the score range of the admitted applicants for the school you're interested in. Never base your chances on what the numbers were for someone you know who got into another school. Each school is different. Each applicant is different. You can have 2 people with the exact same scores get different admissions results. Could have been based on the personal essay, recommendation, extra currics, particular person reading the application, how full the class was at that time, anything.

I really don't get your question. If you don't want to take your test again then don't. Your GPA is pretty good, and if you got friends with lower ones getting what they want then why should it be a problem for you? Ask them for advice on applying if that's whats bothering you. Good luck, its awesome you want to go to law school, its an unfulfilled dream of mine.

All law school applications provide you with the opportunity to provide them with additional information with your application. Some ask, outright, "if you do not believe that this application reflects your abilities, take this chance to explain". Use your personal statement and/or an additional attachment to explain that your GPA reflects your true ability and that you are not a good standardized test taker. I think that may increase your chances.

You'll be fine especially with friends who have lower GPA's who got into other law schools. So you'll probably have a good shot at it!
