Top Law Schools

I currently attend Fordham University as a fourth year/senior undergraduate doing Economics and Pre-Law. As you can see my gpa is 3.85 and my LSAT score is 172 (I took the October test). I did a internship as a legal intern at White and Case Law Firm in New York City over the summer and it was a stellar experience. I am president of my Pre-Law society as well. What are my chances for Columbia University? It's my top choice!

Thank You

Looks pretty good, since you're at median LSAT and over GPA 75th!

PAD? If not, doesnt count

Anyways i would say you have great chances with those numbers and some EC's

Pretty good chance, although lol @ prelaw society. Best of luck bro. If that doesn't work out, enjoy other T14 acceptances.

Really? Decent chances? There is a god! Thanks guys! And rad what's so funny about Pre-Law Society? They played some role in my 172 on my LSAT! haha

I would say you will get in unless you have a horrible appplication.

Just out of curiosity, how did you get an internship with White & Case?

Oh, and +1 to your good shot at CLS.

Yup you're right in the meat of things, very good chance.

Glad it helped bro. 172's nice. Just being the President of a Prelaw Society isn't that good of a soft haha.

This is relative. My school has the largest PAD chapter where i am on the Exec board and it is a ton of work. It is probably looked at the same as being president of a fraternity (however that may be viewed)

If you're doing fraternity life right, probably not much boost if it all because you view the fraternity as a way to make friends, meet babes, and have some fun social events and not some sort of "higher calling."

I agree, to be honest i hate 90% of people involved in greek life.

professional organizations are much less social
