Chance me!

OK, so I'm already in law school. I'm a 2L at UT. I am from Texas, and I knew I wanted to go to UT pretty early in the process, so I didn't even apply anywhere else. I was tempted to apply to NU and Vandy, but I got my scholly from UT, so I just left it at that.
So here's what I'm curious to know. How high up the T14 could I have gone if I was willing to pay sticker? Assume I peppered the T14 rather than applying to UT. My stats were:
UG: T20, 3.25, biology
LSAT: 171, 174
9 years WE: a few years in management (mortgage company), few years in lab research, and a few years in teaching
So, how would my cycle go applying with those stats. Here's the kicker: URM (MA).
1. Yale - out (obviously)
2. Harvard - out
3. Stanford - out
4. Columbia - out?
5. Chicago - out?
6. NYU -out?
7. Berkeley - out
7. Penn - ?
9. Michigan - ?
10. UVa - ?
11. Duke - in?
11. NU - in
13. Cornell - in
14. Georgetown - in
What do you all think? Just curious. Doesn't really matter now, but I've always wondered "what if?"

you should be doing pretty well..
not sure about the top 4 ( they are unpredictable), but from 5 on down, you should be in

A patent-eligible URM with good WE and a sky-high LSAT? Harvard would definitely be in play, and CCN would be your reasonable targets. The rest of the T14 would have given you money. But Texas with no debt ain't bad, either.

Best guess for the highest school you might have gotten in at would be Penn.
MW
Edit: If URM, then Columbia.

Has a shot for NYU/Columbia probably if packaged right.

LSN says you would have had a good shot at some pretty awesome schools. Obviously a URM splitter will have a pretty unpredictable cycle, but each of these LSN profiles have similar numbers/are URM and got Darrow scholarships at Michigan along with other awesome offers (indy guy got harvard)

In other words, you made coin then got out??? I know a few people in mortgage business that greatly attributed to the collapse.
:-p
Sorry, too tempting, I mean no disrespect.

Thought about that, but the GPA and retake made me say Penn.

Some people with worse GAP + LSAT got full rides through the named scholarships. Like I say, you have to package it right. 2 LSAT in the 170's, URM, they will overlook the GPA especially being so old (before grade inflation).

Nah man, I'm not offended. That was my first job after college. I had problems with some of the things I saw, so I got out as quickly as I could.

If you look at my original post, Penn was for non-URM predictions; Columbia was for URM.
