Hi everyone,
Before I start I would like to thank everyone for reading and or giving me their input. I am a senior with a major in poli sic. My lsac gpa is 2.8 and my overall 3.5. My lsat score is 175. I took many premed courses and either failed or took a NC. I also spent many of my undergrad years taking care of a disabled brother. Those two factors affected my gpa. I am an urm. Is there any chance of me getting into a t20 school ?
Thanks

Well the chances of getting into a Top 20 school are 100% but you don't need to apply outside the T-14 unless you don't want Biglaw.

Just blanket the T-14 and see what happens. I think you'll probably get Northwestern and then at least 1 of CCN and below. Will be a lot of waitlists and random results.

Are you AA?

As an AA, that 175 will take you far, even with the 2.8. I would blanket the T14 and see what happens. One or more of the splitter friendly T14s will likely take you.
