3.7, 170, poor softs
Hello all,
I'm heading towards graduation at UNC-Chapel Hill. As stated in the subject line, I have a 3.7 and scored a 170 on the LSAT. What I'm concerned about are my "softs." I've studied abroad for a semester in Spain, am proficient in Spanish, have had an government internship in DC, and had an alternative spring break doing volunteer work in Honduras. How much of a factor will these weak softs have on my chances for the top 14ers? Top 30? Any input is appreciated, thanks!

softs wont really matter. you have a great shot at the lower t14s.. michigan, cornell and gtown of course, not berkeley because they want veryyyy high gpas, northwestern should be fine, penn is a bit tougher but you have a reasonably chanceuncjtd20 wrote:Hello all,

OP will have no post-graduate WE. NU's out.
OP will likely get into 2 or more out of Michigan, Virginia, Penn, Duke, Cornell and Georgetown. Everywhere from NYU down is probably worth the app fee.

I have much worse softs than that, about your GPA, and a 168, and I'm in at 6 T30s already, waiting on two more and a bunch of lower T14s as well. You'll get into multiple T14s.uncjtd20 wrote:Hello all,

In at Cornell, G-Town, Duke, Michigan and probably in at Penn; Out of the rest of T14. In at every other school you choose to apply to with some serious $$$.
This is an optimistic prospect since this cycle is promising to be brutal. Good luck.
