Really Have a chance at HS 171 3.87?
171 from june lsat and 3.87 from top 20 UG
good softs
double major and also honors thesis
ibank summer work experience
realistic shot at harvard or stanford if i apply right at the beginning of the cycle?
enough of shot to warrant not applying ed to columbia?

id really prefer not to--im not even sure id do better, i burned out terribly before the test, my last three PTs were 164, 166, 165--i almost went in with the expectation of cancelling
should i take a practice test or two in early september and see?

Sure you have a shot at all the schools you would like. Maybe not the best shot but still enough that you should try. The earlier the better.bofaem wrote:what about ED at columbia--ive gotta have a decent chance there?

You're in a tough spot man.bofaem wrote:but is applying ed somewhere worth eliminating that small chance i get into HS?
I kinda think you will get into Columb without EDing, but there's def a good chance you get waitlisted. As far as HS are concerned, you probably won't get in, but you have a tiny chance.
Ok so you knew all this already. If I were you, I would not ED to Columb, and just blanket the T10. There's always a shot you could get Harvard

Your T20 and good softs give you a realistic shot at S, but you have no shot at H.

Not if you keep on trying! I don't want to end up wanting to reapply like 5 times, since I am not desperate to go to just any law school.acrossthelake wrote:Pssst. Getting rejected by Harvard is okay.r6_philly wrote:These threads make me nervous.

It is going to be really difficult for me to attend Columbia. It is going to cost so much more to move to NYC, and I am not even sure if I can stand living there for 3 more years. Commuting is possible but very hard. Columbia and NYU are probably going to be hard to choose over Penn. I think HYS will help me justify paying sticker and moving the family, otherwise staying at Penn is probably the most practical choice if I can get some money.acrossthelake wrote:Why Harvard?
