Top Law Schools

Where do you think it'd be worth applying in the T14?
Is applying ED to NYU a waste of time?

Outside of schools in the T14 I'm going to apply almost solely to California schools (not a resident). What do you think my chances are?


Thanks for the help!


Some other info:
Cuban, written reprimand from university for public intoxication freshman year, weak extracurriculars, increased GPA by half a point after major switch in spring of sophomore year

There isn't much data around your GPA and LSAT combo, but I think you have a shot at any of CCN, though you will almost undoubtedly be waitlisted first. If you are willing to pay sticker, I think that ED at NYU would probably be a worthwhile shot.

Being Cuban might be a soft URM too since you will help diversity and are hispanic, though not the "preferred" Mexican or Puerto Rican.

App to the whole t14 though unless there are schools that you absolutely wouldn't consider. You should get into a few and potentially get scholarships at a couple as well. Berkely and UCLA like GPAs, so if you are hoping for Cali if you don't get NYU you might have to go down to USC or Davis.

Here is someone near your numbers, though 1 LSAT higher who apped around this time too last year.

Definitely get your apps in NOW though.

Thats really helpful, thanks for replying so quickly. Yeah I'm planning on getting all my apps in this week.

I'd ED to NYU if I were you.
