3.6 gpa (UCLA UG)
167 LSAT

I have been out of undergrad for 1 year during which time I was an intern at the UN. Similarly have interned at senator's office.

I was wondering what my chances are at the higher end schools, how much soft factors play a role, as well as what some reasonable reaches are?

What are my chances at Cornell, USC, UCLA?

UC Davis as safety?


thank you guys in advance!

You are probably 50/50 at Cornell. I think you have a great shot at at least one if not both UCLA/USC and in at UC-Davis. I think this is a good list but you might want to add a few more reaches.

Good Luck

chris,

could you please recommend me some reaches? (Im planning to attend the best school I can get into..)

I checked out the law school predictor after reading up on it a bit, and I heard that it was rather conservative (giving me some hope). Are reaches basically "consider" ? or "weak consider?"


thanks in advance

Cornell - WL or out
UCLA - out
USC - in
UC Davis - safety

It looks like you're targeting CA schools, so might as well throw in Hastings too if you want another safety.
