What are realistic reach schools?
3.2/166
I know that not all schools take this into consideration but I am a double major double minor. I always thought that I would enjoy Pitt so I am applying there, but I don't know what reach schools I should consider.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: What are realistic reach schools?
not many details as for what you want location, job placement wise, what programs you're interested.
so i'd say, plug your numbers into: http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/
and choose those that look interesting that have <30% chance

Re: What are realistic reach schools?
Ok, here is the deal and maybe these specifics will help.
The reach schools I am looking at right now are BC, UNC, and Indiana.
I really don't have a solid idea of what area I would be interested in.
Also, I think that I should write an addendum for my GPA. My freshman year, I ended with a 2.7. Since I have had solid grades and have never had a semester below a 3.2 (only one was a 3.2). I have mostly landed in between a 3.4 and a 3.6 since. To me this seems significant since its a pretty considerable jump from a 2.7.
Along with any other advice, I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me if they think an addendum would be worth it.

Re: What are realistic reach schools?
Hitting the median LSAT is always more important than hitting the median GPA, so these are all realistic but still reach schools. I'd bet you get into a couple of them, though it's hard to predict which ones.bport hopeful wrote:Do you think this even with a lower GPA?im_blue wrote:Realistic reach schools are the 164-166 median schools, such as

Oh yeah, also forgot Emory, they take anyone with a 166 LSAT.

166 LSAT + splitter = enjoy Emory.
