Are you a URM?

Illinois and WUSTL

FWIW, lsp gives you a "strong consider" for Emory, and a "consider" for Cornell, Texas, Vandy, USC, Wash U, GW, Illinois, and BU. But for us "reverse-splitter" types, lawschoolnumbers will give you a far more accurate picture.

I am Latino.

The boost at schools you get will vary widely from none, to a good amount, depending on what type of latino.

And with no URM boost, you probably aren't getting into the top 25 without a LSAT retake.

WashUStL, Emory, Minnesota, Boston University, Illinois, GWU should be your best bets. As a Latino applicant, USC, Vanderbilt, Cornell & some others should be reasonable reaches. Although likely to upset some readers, I think that your chances at Penn are good--especially since you received a fee waiver.

I always thought fee waivers were for poor people and you have to qualify financially speaking
