re: increasing chances of getting into a t14
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 9:36 pm
Raw numbers I have a 169 LSAT and a 3.84 LSDAS GPA
My dream schools in the t14 are Michigan and NYU. I looked at lawschoolpredictor and lawschoolnumbers and although my numbers do not
rule out my chances at these schools, they do not necessarily get me in these schools either.
My personal statement may or may not help me but that's debatable.
I feel like I am a pretty vanilla applicant. My letters of recommendation come from professors that I have taken multiple classes with and one of whom
is the pre law advisor at my school. But I can only imagine how many other applicants have recs similar to mine.
In terms of softs I feel like I'm pretty limited. I am a year out of undergrad and am working but the work is pretty straightforward too.
Any tips/advice that might help me improve my chances?
Thanks!
