Yes, I think so. The gap between CLS/NYU and Brooklyn/St. John's is far more substantial. You're likely competitive enough to get into at least one if you have the same caliber grades (top 1-2%).
Thanks for the response. I'm in at both these schools and waitlisted at Fordham so we'll see. I'm curious about this type of scenario, as I just do not have the GPA for the top tier.
