weird question.. i have about 25 credit hours from an institution that i cant get the transcript to lsac because i owe the school money.. they will not release them until they are paid... if you received an application with those credits missing because of a financial obligation, would you consider it?? my gpa without those credits is 3.75++... the school was so expensive.. and since i pay my own tuition (no help from parents)... i cant afford to pay them all at once... thanks!

You're going to need to zero your balance and get your transcript to LSAC so other schools can consider you. It's important that other schools see your success elsewhere in order to judge your application. Incomplete or missing transcripts are a major red flag.

I have a 4.0 GPA at Texas A&M University as a finance major. I scored a 168 on the most recent LSAT. I am hoping to attend the Law School at the University of Texas. Should I be worried about being accepted? Should I be aiming for a higher or lower ranked school???

Obviously, you will get into Texas. You're excellent GPA and excellent LSAT score guarantee it. I would apply to a couple of the top 10 law schools just to keep the option open (if you're interested) - after all, you will probably get into any law school you apply to in the United States.
