slightly higher GPA and 173 lsat AA Male here..got really good t14 offers sans Chicago and Berkeley but nothing on HYS. Im not even sure a higher lsat would offset your GPA at those schools although youll probably get into Columbia and NYU with your current numbers.

Oh that's great news... May I ask where you got into. Also, did you receive any scholarship anywhere? Thanks for your reply!

Nope, unfortunately I didn't :( I took a couple of APs but wish I had done that though...I could take a couple more summer classes before I graduate to raise it to a 3.2 but that's not much of a help. May I ask how your application cycle was? :)

Congrats that's an awesome list of schools right there! Which schools are you leaning more toward? :) How much higher was your GPA btw?

You're a pretty extreme splitter and their cycles are pretty unpredictable. If I were you I would blanket the top 14. Harvard could be a possibility with that LSAT.
