I have a mid 3.3 gpa. I've been practicing around a 177, with a few 180's thrown in. I know TLS is averse to gauging chances based on projected LSAT scores, but I'm wondering what score I need on the LSAT to give me a good chance at CCN. Any thoughts?

Also, I don't know if it's a factor but I have a decent gpa addendum for a bad senior year.

175+ for Columbia/Chicago.

NYU might fly with a 173, but if you ED'd they might bite on a 172/171

GPA addendum is not really a factor. To be seriously considered at CC you'll need pretty close to that 177 (173 at least, maybe 175.) 173 for NYU. You might have a shot with a lower LSAT but in order to assume you'd get into at least one you'll have to kill it on test day. Good luck. Aim for 180.

It seems that LSN is really underrepresented with candidates with these stats. Not sure whether that's because they aren't submitted, or because there aren't any. Either way, anyone here have similar stats and apply to these schools? If so, what were your decisions?

NYU might bite on a 173+. CC probably 180, or 175 and a damn good story.

I still say rejected at CLS, reguardless of LSAT, unless URM or amazing story.

I think they may take the 180 for bragging rights.

What about Chicago? Or does there class size work against me?

Bump.
