Top Law Schools

What are my chances of getting into a school ranked in the 50s-100s:

Harvard undergrad
3.7 GPA
150 LSAT
URM

Do you have an addendum for the low LSAT? You must be good at standardized tests if you got into Harvard to begin with. I don't see how someone at Harvard with a 3.7 can't absolutely destroy this test with the right preparation. Did you study? Sorry if this comes off as rude, I just feel like someone who has already experienced one of the best educations this country has to offer is selling themselves short going to a Tier 2 school.

Yeah, studied and did practice test and all but freaked out the day of. That and my history of bad/unrepresentative standardized test scores account for the low LSAT. I included some things relating to this topic on my diversity statement, but we'll see what happens... thanks for your reply.

Study more, and retake in June. You don't want to go to a shit law school after going to Harvard.

There is still time to retake in Feb, but yes, I agree that waiting to take in June is probabably best. Also, sign up for a course ... they are a ton of money, but it provides you with motiviation and incentive to put in the time. Depending on your URM status, a 160+, 3.70 GPA, and having graduated from Harvard may allow you to break the T14.

Barring that, you could always go to Howard. I hear minority Howard placed minority grads really well.
