My stats are: 3.23 (LSDAS) and 163, 167 (but my GPA is actually a 3.44, LSAC however counted one of my unsatisfactory art grades in as a "F"... I do have a GPA Addendum explaining this)
I do have some "soft" factors though:
-Previous AmeriCorps member as a VISTA (Community Engagement Coordinator for a National Nonprofit)
-Ongoing volunteer work as a Community Engagement Consultant (for the same nonprofit)
-Upward trend in my GPA (I ended with a 4.0 GPA for my last semester)
-Departmental honors with completion of an honors thesis
-Working currently as a legal assistant for a very prominent election lawyer (our clients include a lot of high level politicians)
-Personal statement that focused on all of my personal experience with election law and how I drafted Complaints regarding these issues for prominent politicians.
I'm from Wisconsin so I'm applying there, but I would like to know which reach schools I should try applying to. (I'm not going to apply if there's no way I can get in.)
What reach schools can I realistically get into? Forum

Re: What reach schools can I realistically get into?
Its a bit of a contradiction to ask which REACH schools you can REALISTICALLY get into.
Anyway,
you have a chance at U Minn and other schools around the early 20s rankings.
Good luck!

lol, it is somewhat of a contradiction... perhaps I should clarify.
Which reach schools will look at my application and possibly look past my lower GPA and/or LSAT at my other factors?

If you're asking which schools will look past your GPA and LSAT in favor of your softs, the answer is NONE. Sad but true.gizmo0516 wrote:lol, it is somewhat of a contradiction... perhaps I should clarify.
