Hi guys, this is for a friend who's too lazy to make an account.

His GPA is a 3.45.
LSAT score is a 176.

What are his shots at CCN? No serious softs and not a URM.

NYU is his best shot. Might snag CC with an ED. Likely a lot of waitlisting without ED.

ED to NYU has a great chance, RD good chance, Chicago has a better than average chance, Columbia is probably out.

Or ED Northwestern for a $150,000 scholarship. OP should be admitted to two among Columbia, Chicago & NYU (CCN) with a 176/3.45, but what about scholarship money ?

Not going to get the NU ED with a 3.45

A quick look at lawschoolnumbers.com shows a 174/3.55 received $150,000 from NU this cycle. Applications are expected to be down even more next cycle.

Good chance at NYU with RD, pretty much a lock with ED. I think a pretty good chance at Columbia with ED (>50% anyway), and a low possibility of Chicago with ED.

Truth be told it really isn't safe to say anything T6 with those digits is a lock. I can think of one applicant this cycle off the top of my head that has a better GPA and the same LSAT who has has yet to receive an admit to any school they applied to (all T14)

Would really like to know what kind of softs that person has... :cry:

But yeah OP.... MVP isn't even a lock with those stats, though you'll likely get at least one of them.

Sorry, here are the softs: White House intern, developed an organization that focuses on educational obtainment in Rwanda, lots of full time internships every summer, part time thru out the year, received recognition from Pres Clinton on his work abroad, etc.

So in other words, no work experience.

I'd argue that Columbia offers a better chance than Chicago. Chicago is bigger on GPAs, Columbia bigger on LSAT scores.

Columbia will still be tough though with that GPA.

Thank you for the replies, everyone! NYU is definitely the target school here then. ED to NYU, is that the ultimate best chance? Don't want to risk a regular decision to NYU and get wait listed.

Out of curiosity, what does qualify as "work experience"? Just someone who's been out of school and working full time at a real job?

If you're cool with paying sticker (and stoked on NYU) then yes that's a solid move.
