What Are My Chances? Forum

[ConLaw2017]

Hi All,

I will be applying to law schools later this year. However, I am quite concerned about my job prospects which I have been told (either rightly or wrongly) is more or less indexed to the quality of the school one attends. Would anyone be willing to give me advice on the LSAT score I would need in order to have a chance at Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, UVA, Texas, and Penn? Full disclosure - I know that YHS tend to be a black boxs but I am simply seeking a well informed estimate at this point. Here are my stats

UGPA: 4.06; Rank x<3%
Institution: HYPS
Ethnicity: AA
Sex: Male
LSAT: Unknown but projected to be between 160-170 (yes, I know that this does not provide much guidance)
Major: Political Science/Minor History
Extracurricular Activities: Debate, Black Pre-Law Association, NAACP, ACLU, Undergrad History Journal, SLS Law Review (no questions - please), Investments Club, Political Science Honor Society, History Honor Society, American Criminal Justice Honor Society, FEDSOC, ACS, ABA, and Texas Notary Public, Two mid level positions in student government
Publications: Academic Papers in 4 different journals and political articles in 3 different publications
Letters of recommendation: These guys: https://law.stanford.edu/directory/mich ... cconnell/; https://law.stanford.edu/directory/nathaniel-persily/
Work Experience: RA for 4 different law professors working in 4 different disciplines and worked for a presidential candidate in the current cycle (I will not name him)
Softs: Undergraduate transcript has 10 law school classes on it and counting (will this hurt me?), single parent household and the whole nine yards in terms of hard upbringing in an urban area

Thanks Again!

LOL. I meant choose one or the other. Double posting is frowned upon. Looks like you've got traction in the chances thread...
