Chances for Chicago Forum

[maize315]

Hey all,

I'm back! So, after some thought, I have decided to focus on corporate law. Hopefully, make partner and one day become general counsel.

My question is I am interested in attending several schools. Chicago, Columbia, NYU, and Michigan. Stats are not that great as you can see in my profile. I do in addition to what I have listed, have a year of experience as a Banker with JP Morgan.

What do you all think? Any chance?

When are you applying? What type of URM are you?

Fall 2011 and I'm an African American male.

An AA Male with a 3.4/165 combo has a shot at all the schools listed above, but I think you have a good shot at Chicago. Looking at LSN, all these URMs had #'s in your ballpark and got accepted:

I'd say if you're applying for Fall 2011, retake the LSAT if you can in June to increase your chance of admission. Good luck!

Thanks! I am considering taking a prep course as well.

I think you're in at all of those schools. You may need to get above a 167 to get HYS though.

I pray you are correct. Thanks for the response.
