Chances at schools that accept the GRE?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Aug 13, 2018 6:37 pm

I'm completely new to law school admissions, so I know almost nothing. What are my chances at law schools accepting the GRE?

Undergrad GPA: 3.98 Unweighted, 4.08 Weighted
Undergrad institution: Ivy (not HYP)
GRE: 169/170 V 170/170 Q
Extracurriculars: Lots of research (published in several health journals) and volunteering
Demographics: straight, white, male, from the east coast USA

BTW, these are the schools that (I believe) accept the GRE:

Harvard Law School
Columbia Law School
George Washington University Law School
Georgetown University Law Center
Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law
St. John's University School of Law
Texas A&M University School of Law
University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law
UCLA School of Law
University of Chicago Law School
University of Hawai'i at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law
Washington University School of Law

You have a really excellent GPA and really excellent scores, so you should get into all of the places that you mentioned (provided they accept the GRE - I didn't check). Unless you're absolutely set on H or getting a Hamilton at Columbia, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just take the LSAT. Could open up S, Y and a bunch of other places you might potentially be interested in.
