I have applied this fall but havent heard back from anyone. I am a quantitative economics major and resserach assitant to a professor if that helps, what are my realistic chances with a 166, 3.46 from UC irvine (upward trend since freshman year, been on deans honors list 6 times in a row now).

schools are: USC, UCLA, UC Hastings, Pepperdine, UC Irvine, UPenn, Georgetown, Boston U, Boston College

My guesses:

UPenn- Out
GULC- Out
UCLA- Out
USC- Out
BU- In/WL
BC- In/WL
Irvine- ?
Hastings- In
Pepperdine- In ($$)

Last year I would think you would have a very good shot at BU and BC, this year I'm not as sure (esp if BU is trying to raise their LSAT median, which according to LSN seems to be the case). Why no UC Davis?

I have almost identical numbers, here's how I've fared at schools we both applied to:

UPenn: pending
Georgetown: rejected (I'd applied to both their full and part time programs)
BU: Wait list
BC: Wait list

Obviously numbers aren't everything (BC in particulary seems to be tough to pin down), but that might give you some indication of how things might go for you. I applied back in November, fyi.
