3.8 (from Top LAC, Philosophy major)
175 LSAT
applying straight out of college
white

Softs:
Mock Trial Team, 4 years, Captain Senior Year, Awards
Intramural Football, 4 years
Intern at Prosecutor's Office, 2 summers

Great Recs and Personal Statement

This is a hypothetical resume. Since Y and S take a more holistic approach to admissions, would I still have a decent shot with these unimpressive softs? I really appreciate everyone's thoughts.

i had nearly identical stats (3.78/176) and didn't get into yale, but i think you have a shot at harvard. i didn't apply to h/s so i can't speak from exp.

I'd consider it worth applying to all three, but I predict you only actually get in at Harvard.
