NYU+ Other Top 14 Forum

171-first time LSat
3.74
Teach for America
Other softs pretty strong.

Just submitted apps in last couple weeks... starting to worry about my chances for admissions.

Any idea on chances for the T-14, specifically NYU and Columbia.

My guesses:

Yale - out
Harvard - out
Columbia - WL
NYU - WL
Chicago - WL/in
Stanford - out
Berkeley - hard to say, WL?
Penn - WL/in
UVA - WL (unless ED or in-state)
Duke - WL/in
Northwestern - in
Georgetown - in, $
Michigan - in, $$
Cornell - in, $$

Hard to know how much the late submission will hurt you, though.

The above post seemed a bit pessimistic, though it is unclear how much applying late will hurt you. Law schools love Teach for America, and you say you have other good softs as well. If that's true, I think you have a good shot at NYU, maybe Columbia.

I tend to lean slightly pessimistic. OP's LSAT is great, but GPA is below median for the top half of T14 (except CN). Maybe OP does have a shot at one of those, after all.

TLS is just generally pessimistic- my stats aren't as good as yours and I got into BOALT and NYU, so basically based on my numbers I think you got a shot
