Re: AA female, Peace Corps, 3.6, 163. t-14 possible?

Hi OP.

Your softs are pretty strong, and I think the most recent LSAT (163) could put you in the running at a couple of t-14 schools. Just by scanning LSN, it seems that Georgetown and Cornell could be real possibilities.

You also might consider the binding ED at GWU that comes with $$$$. Even though it's a bit lower ranked, I think it might be a good match and you'll come out with much lower debt.

The entire t14 is available to you with your numbers and softs. With an early application next cycle, you would really enjoy the outcomes.

Thanks so much guys, your responses were really helpful and encouraging. I think I'm gonna go for all the t-14 and see which works out. I'm also gonna throw apps at BU, Wash U, BC, GWU, Vandy, USC, UCLA as safeties. I doubt Ill do binding ED at GWU b/c I'm really focused on going to the best school I get into regardless of $$$, although I pray that I can get some out of these schools.

I'm an AA female with very similar numbers and a similar resume. I applied in September/October of this cycle to practically the entire top-20 and so far I've gotten into every school outside of the top-14 as well as NYU, Michigan, Penn, and Cornell. Wait-list at Chicago.
