So are you applying this cycle? Isn't TFA a 2 year program? Either way I think you have a decent shot.

I think you have a decent shot at Columbia, but my guess is less than 50% (or maybe 50/50). I think you will get at least one T7 acceptance though. Also, I would throw out a Stanford app just in case.

Thanks guys. In answer to the above question, if accepted anywhere I will defer for one year to finish my TFA 2-year commitment. Schools typically allow you to defer for TFA.

Do you think CLS and other T7 schools will average my two LSATs, consider only the higher, or put more emphasis on the higher?

Jesus Christ. You're borderline at the T7. Throw them all an app and pray for a good outcome.

They only consider the highest. Heard it from the Admissions Director at a presentation.
