Just commented on your other post but I got in w/ a 163, 3.5 OOS.Yanky91 wrote:What are my chances as an out-of-state applicant to UNC with a 163 LSAT and a 3.65 gpa? I know it is way more competitive for OOS applicants. 75% of UNC's class is in-state. Do I have a shot? This is my top school.

Are you OOS? If you're in-state, apply to wake forest and leave that spot for me... heheheheMoneytrees wrote:UNC is one of my top choices as well. I'm from California, 163/3.6.

Friends and family told me about the Chapel Hill area, I did lots of research on the school and their clinics really appeal to me. It has a great reputation. One of the partners that I know at a big firm went there and really liked it. I am also going to visit NC in the spring. Lastly, I want to leave the state I'm in now, but I don't want to go too far away, and the rank is not bad eitherMoneytrees wrote:I applied to both haha. Just wondering, why is UNC your top choice? Both UNC and Wake Forest are very strong schools, I'm surprised they get overlooked by the average user on this site.Yanky91 wrote:Are you OOS?

. Wake Forest is one that I'm interested in as well (I know someone who went there and joined the JAG and now works biglaw), but I messed up on my app. I sent out a PS with a grammar issue. I also looked over my PS post facto and spotted a couple of issues (ogranizational/thematical) that I fixed for UNC. I would be surprised if they accept me now.I haven't compared the numbers to those schools, but mos def. UNC and Wake have good employment #s at a pretty good price. I also like UNC's honors system. Connecticut, then Cali, then NC? That's what I call gettin' roundMoneytrees wrote:No actual ties to North Carolina, though I hear it's not a bad place to live for 3 years. I'm from Connecticut. The reason I'm interested in UNC and Wake Forest is due to their solid employment stats and cheap tuition. Sure, their stats in Biglaw placement aren't exceptional, but they are better than reputable schools like Minnesota, Washington University and William and Mary. I think that if you aren't able to get into the T14 and schools like USC, UCLA and Vanderbilt, then UNC and Wake Forest are solid options.
I've just been stuck in the Northeast my entire life.No actual ties to the area, but ties to surrounding states. I wouldn't mind being in NC for 3 years or more.sublime wrote:
Most people don't want to live in Carolina, and some are (rightly) concerned about tie there.
Do you guys who want to go to UNC or WF have ties to that area?

Local school in Maryland. If I don't get into UNC or Wake Forest or a comparable school out of state, I might just retake the exam and shoot even higher, but I would prefer not to waste a year. It sounds kinda weird, but I'm really eager to start law school.Moneytrees wrote:Yanky91 wrote:I haven't compared the numbers to those schools, but mos def.

Where did you go for undergrad? Northeast definitely isn't a bad place to be stuck in.
I have ties to the Southeast, but not to NC or SC. I'm anxiously awaiting scholarship news from Wake Forest...if they offer a big package, they'll be in the running of my top 4-5.sublime wrote:

Congrats. That's awesome. My app was completed early January as well. My status just says complete now.fordpaul wrote:A little bit of a bump, but I just got in with 3.33/162 OOS. Application completed the first week of January, heard back less than three weeks later.
Thanks man. If you happened to go to an LSAC Forum or any other event where you met with someone from admissions, holla at them.Yanky91 wrote:Congrats. That's awesome.
