I think that short something amazing on your softs, Y and S are probably out. H might be there, but it's not the best chance (gun to my head I'm thinking <30% chance). You're probably good at all of CCN, and if not all three, you should get two of them. On down, Penn and UVA should be there for you if you tailor your application appropriately to show genuine interest. Duke should be a strong possibility as well...

I think CCN are going to be too expensive to make it worth going unless you can RTK or AnBryce at NYU...I think you will probably get some nice $ love from UVA and Duke.

Apply to entire top 14... You will get into at least 3 of the top 6... Harvard will likely take you with that gpa and LSAT combo barring a major character and fitness issue or terrible essays... Seriously man look up previous urm cycles of black males from 2009-2010 to 2015-2015 using the search function. If you don't butcher your essays, LORs, or commit a major criminal offense, you should have a great cycle...

+1. Will be unpredictable, but if you write the hell out of your PS, and the resume and softs (etc) look good, you're gonna have a killer cycle. Also don't underestimate the power of the Why X and LOCI!
