What a good LSAT score is depends upon your credentials. What is your GPA? What is your class rank? Where do you want to go to law school?
Law schools look at not only your GPA but also your undergrad's reputation.
I knew I wanted to go to a national and well regarded law school and that based on the number of competitive applicants from my undergrad institution I needed to score above a 163 (90th percentile). A good friend of mine had a much lower GPA at our undergrad and she had to get a 175 (99th percentile) or higher to have a chance to get into the same schools.
The other admissions factor that can't be overlooked is extraciricular activities. Most people would much rather admit people who are active in their communities and will add to the classroom environment.
