[kjh93]

hey guys i was directed to this forum and told i can find great advice, so thanks in advance.

LSAT Feb: 166
LSAT June: 170
GPA: 3.95
non-urm

Softs are not fantastic... worked part time throughout undergrad, TA for professor, some volunteer, not too much else.

I am not sure where i should focus my applications. What would be reach schools for me? targets? good safeties? Also would i be looking at scholarship money anywhere good? I do not want to live in New York; other than that i am very open location-wise.

Thanks guys!

Out at YH, target S/CCN and lock beyond that. I think you've got a pretty decent shot of admission at Stanford and you're definitely a strong candidate for CCN. You'll see good scholly money outside of the T6, and that GPA will make you a good candidate for a full ride outside of the top 10 or so schools.

and the 166 wouldn't outright kill my shot at stanford?

It won't ding you outright, but my guess is it won't help. They claim to take a holistic approach to the LSAT (and I'm more inclined to believe the higher ranked schools when they say this), so it is hard to say how they'll approach the 4 point difference. But your GPA is 75%ile+ range and your highest LSAT is at median, so I think you have a decent shot.

All you can do now is throw together the best app you can and blanket the T14/wherever else you might want to go. Good luck.
