Top Law Schools

Currently a student at top 20 school, GPA 3.91, just at edge of top 5%, what are my chances at Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and Chicago? If I drop to 15% after this semester do I still have a chance?

Top 5% makes you very competitive at CCN and HLS.

No one can say for certain at YS, but you're strongly competitive there too.

Top 15% will be competitive at CCN, but not really HYS. Though it's still worth applying to HLS.

Good luck!

Your class rank doesn't really matter, schools will be focused on your numerical GPA. With the right LSAT you'll be competitive everywhere, but you'll wanna stay above 3.9 for Y/S to really be in play.

This is not true. If all schools had the same median, then it would be. But they don't.

Ah. I was like, "I have never seen this poster before and they're giving horrible advice."

Now it makes sense.

Yeah my bad I thought this was in the "choosing" forum. Idk anything about transfers.
