169/3.65 - PR - Best Longshot Chance at HYS?

Post by bob loblaw11 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:17 am

I have a 169 (retake from 166)/3.65, and I'm a PR female applying after two years of full-time experience at a V15 firm. I interned for two years in undergrad in an area related to IP law. Aside from that my softs are pretty standard.

The fees are so hefty for HYS, and I'm a long shot, so I'm likely to only apply to one or two. Where do I stand the best chance?

A person with a 180/4.0 still stands the best shot at H>S>Y. I would pick the two you want the most, if you cannot apply to all three. You have a legit chance at all of them, with the highest at H, then S, then Y.
