Chance at T14? 3.5/163 AA/MA

Post by xwing_redleader » Mon Oct 24, 2011 7:28 pm

Hey fellow URMs,

I'm an AA/MA with a 3.5 LSGPA (3.6 UG) and a 163 LSAT. Also, I come from a Top 25, if that means anything. I've got extensive public-interest related extracurricular activities.

Do you guys think I have a chance at T14? I'm specifically wondering about Berkeley, UCLA, and USC. Thanks!

Very good? Even for a school like Berkeley?

Thanks for the input, btw!

I'm in a tough spot right now. Because of my score, I'm debating whether to apply ED to UCLA, or whether to take my chances aiming higher. The thing is, though, that I'm pretty committed to staying in California, so applying ED seems like a tempting option.
