Hi everyone! Checking in here. Trying to get apps out this weekend, but I have a ton of Why essays and a DS to perfect so it might not be until early next week.

AA Female/3.7x/171

Schools:

HYS
Columbia
NYU
Michigan
Virginia
Penn
Berkeley
Duke
Northwestern
UCLA
Georgetown
and maybe some more depending on fee waivers

GL to everyone ITT!!

[Dani.B]

Really . I just have a hard time seeing how I can get into HYS if duke doesn't want me. But I'll take your advice and add them to the list. thank you

Cycle are odd, I ended up desisting to do my JD in Canada, from ever I was out right rejected by every T14 other then Cornell and Columbia(I was waitlist until aug and rejected) so one really can't tell

I LOVE UVIC for anyone that wondering from last cycle and very happy I'm attending here

This scares me. What were your numbers? Even though I will gladly take an acceptance from Cornell.

[JustE]

I thought there were only supposed to be a handful of strong AA applicants each year. This thread alone is loaded with them. Nobody else post here, it's too scary/depressing!

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully all of you guys get HYS and leave room at the mid to lower T14 for me .

Checking in yet again. Missed my Oct. goal, but I'll be applying with 3.21 (3.31) 153/162/166 and 3 years work experience. Good luck everyone!

URM: Mexican-American
LSAT: 156 (Should I retake in Dec)
GPA: 3.1
UG: UC Berkeley

Where should I apply? My friend got into Wisconsin with the same exact numbers. Hoping I have the same luck.
Option A: Apply now see what schools i get into. If I don't like it take it in june and reapply
Option B: Retake LSAT in Dec. and apply for this cycle with late apps (although it would be tough with finals, apps, and LSAT studying)

Insight Please?

You need to retake. I started off at 142 (cold diagnostic) and started hitting high 160s after two months of studying. My LSAT didn't go that great (164) because I didn't fix small issues. There is no reason for you to not retake, especially with a 3.1 GPA. Just my two cents.
