LSAT Dec 09 - 170
GPA - 3.65 (Finance)
D1 college athlete (baseball player, Southeastern Conference (SEC) school)
assume average to above average LORs, PS
University representative for Rhodes Scholarship (did not advance to interview round)
Officer position in two campus clubs
Limited work experience (due to competing in prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League 2007-09)

Applications sent late January. Still waiting to hear from schools. Considering rolling admissions and above stats, what are my chances at T14 schools? Specifically UVA, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Stanford

Moreover, what kind of weight will admissions put on my athletic credentials? ie. understanding of time commitment, unique experiences, etc.

Your numbers alone should get you into some great schools. Am not quite sure what kind of bump you will get from your impressive athletic resume. I think it will depend on who reads your application at the various schools. Good luck.

I think you should be good at UVA Duke and GTown... H and S, not so much.

Duke and Georgetown are likely. UVa isn't. Harvard and Stanford are out.

Also, roll tide.
