If you want the T-14, you're going to have to ED to Virginia or hope for Cornell -- those are by far your two best shots. Maybe Michigan. Out everywhere else.

You'll get in, with $$, at a lot of T20, T30 type schools.

Hi, I'm an international student majoring in communication at the University at Buffalo (SUNY UB). Admittedly, it's not exactly a spectacular school nor an impressive major, so those might come back to haunt me. I took the LSAT for the first time in 12/09, and came back with a 166. I know my GPA is pretty good, but my LSAT score bugs me the Hell out 'cos it's such a toss-up at the better schools. I was hoping to get some opinions on how I'd fare for the following schools that I'm applying to. Thanks in advance.

Yale - out
Harvard - out
Stanford - out
Columbia - out
NYU - out
Berkeley - possible in (are your softs good? URM?)
Chicago - out
Pennylvania - out
Michigan - out/possible WL?
Duke - out
Northwestern - out
Virginia - if you had applied ED maybe
Cornell - ?
Georgetown - out
UCLA - WL
Southern California - WL/in
Boston U - in
Williams & Mary - in

Just my opinion... check out a law school predictor for better advice.

Northwestern with work experience is a reach, but not unheard of.

Yeah, but OP indicated that he's currently in UG, which makes him a ding at Northwestern.

If you want to go to a T10 school, your best bet is Virginia ED. If you don't apply to ED, Cornell will probably be the only T14 school you get into, and that's only if you apply early or have good softs. The T5 schools are a waste of application money, and chances at Chicago and Berkeley are very slim.

RC fail on my part. Yep, autoding at Northwestern.
