3.71/170
Top-15 Undergrad school ranking
Political Science major w/ college honors (not latin) and a minor in Legal Studies (was pretty bogus, but it's on there)
Taking a year off to work on various small political projects.
Hoping to get into a school in Bay Area, Chicago, or DC. Is Stanford reaching? What about G'town and N'western?

Re: 3.71/170
Stanford's a pretty big reach, NW and GULC are good bets.

Re: 3.71/170
Out at Stanford and possibly Berkeley, assuming not URM. Should be in at Georgetown and Northwestern. Retake if you really want Bay Area.UserNameHere wrote:Top-15 Undergrad school ranking

ETA: Honestly with your GPA Stanford is probably a reach with almost any LSAT. I was 3.75/177 and got straight dinged there. They are super GPA focused.

If you had at least a 3.88, I'd say you'd have a decent shot at S.

Re: 3.71/170
3.71/172 here.
In at Georgetown and NU w/ $$. Id say you are set at both as well with your WE, but less $ due to less desirable LSAT.
WL at Stanford. Lowest non-urm on the WL spreadsheet last time I checked, so theres generally not much hope for us 3.7ers. I wouldnt count on CC either with a 170 & B is unpredictable, but you should be in at MVP and down with strongish chance at NYU.

Re: 3.71/170
I would say depending on applications, CCN might be in play. Although I agree with the previous sentiment of you've got MVP and below (with the exception of Berkeley, they are a total wildcard). You can look at my cycle in my profile (lower GPA by 0.1, same LSAT) for an idea of where I'm coming from.

Re: 3.71/170
Just saying, I think well prepared applications and putting in a ton of effort can make a difference. And if apps are down in the same way they were this year, who knows what will happen.ManOfTheMinute wrote:*ignoring mylsn for optimistic approach*dsn32 wrote:I would say depending on applications, CCN might be in play.

EDIT: and if you just do this cycle on MyLSN, much different outcome.

Re: 3.71/170
NYU is definitely in play here, esp. off the WL; that chart is deceptive. NYU is taking tons of 170/sub-median (prolly anticipating a 1-2 pt LSAT decline) so a 170/median should have a decent shot if next cycle repeats this one.dsn32 wrote:Just saying, I think well prepared applications and putting in a ton of effort can make a difference.

CC are still unlikely as I said before, but worth the applications.

Re: 3.71/170
Stanford definitely out, Berkeley almost certainly out. NU and GULC you're probably good.
