Cornell or where???? Does Volunteer work help?? Forum

[bubblerj]

LSAT 170
GPA 3.8
Major: Pol. Sc and Psychology
Not a lot of work experience besides 6 month internship at Hawaii Legislative House.
No clubs or leadership, but 3 years of volunteer work at the Foster home in Hawaii.

Not sure if those details help, but who knows.

Really like Cornell, I have a child and Ithaca sounds like a great place to relocate. But am I a possibility for something better??

Am I good enough for Cornell? If not, what other good schools in good areas would you suggest?

You have a very good shot at Cornell. Volunteer work doesn't matter that much, doesn't hurt of course.

Apply to MVSHD.
Cornell is too low try Michigan and Virgina both of which are probably prettty good areas for kids.
