Getting Into Harvard Forum

[MIAOKLAUSCTENN]

That's my goal and dream.

I'm at a state school for my first four years. What GPA and LSAT would consider me a lock?

None. They're are so many qualified people just in numbers alone. You have to have mid 170's+, high GPA, great softs etc. (assuming you are not a URM) and even then you won't be a "lock."

Hypothetical:

4.0
175
Tons of ECs

How would that stack up?

If you search within the applicants, those with above a 3.8 and a 175 get in with about an 80% pass rate (ball parking it).

Assuming you can write a stellar ps, are not obviously and openly Republican, and are not totally lacking the common sense to put together a descent app, sure why not? But first you have to put up those numbers.

Nope. I'm an open liberal/progressive/republican-hating independent who leans libertarian on most issues.

Skip ahead to 5:00 and duplicate that and you're in!

Lol if only...

If you hit both medians (3.9+/173+), you should have excellent chances.

You don't need "great softs." Just do a few things that excite you. Keep your grades up (ideally 3.9+, definitely 3.8+). Fuck a lot of women and take the LSAT your junior year.

Sounds like a plan!

This actually doesn't have nearly the negative impact that people would think. I believe there was a TLS poster a couple cycles ago who got into Yale Law from Bob Jones University.

Wasn't there a thread where he kinda crashed and burned?

I recall him getting a bit testy after people called him out for making an argument which went something along the lines of

--> --> [Therefore it is smart to interpret the Bible literally].

More than likely it was more artfully done than that, but surely theology was the chink in his intellectual armor. In any event, to prevent a derail, the point is that your political affiliations won't keep you out of law school unless you're in the Klan or something.

What if a smart guy interprets the Klan manifesto literally?

Bothers me so much how they say "LSATs" like it's plural. Even the pre-law advisor (I think that's what she is) says it as plural.

Edit: And then she goes from a 143 to a 179 Gahhhh!
