3.7 / 165 Forum

[sherman422]

This is my first time posting on this forum. I would like some feedback on whether or not the schools I am considering are realistic or not. I have a 3.7 from the University of Wisconsin and a 165 LSAT.

Here is my tentative list:

Wisconsin
William and Mary
Emory
Colorado
Vandy
Boston University
Fordham
Minnesota
George Washington

Is this realistic given my scores? Should I add/take away any? Thanks so much for your feedback.

Have fun.

All of these are realistic in the sense that you have a decent shot at all of them and shouldn't hesitate to apply. Vandy is a stretch but there's nothing wrong with that.

I have seen that website. Should I add another reach school or two to that list? Or would you consider most of them "reach" schools?

It depends on where you want to go and your softs. For example if you have some killer WE, maybe it's worth it to apply to northwestern. If you like Cali, maybe it's worth the $75 bucks to apply to USC and UCLA. Most of them are not reaches but more like toss ups.

I have one semester of WE as an intern in a public defenders' office. Other than that, nothing too special. I do like Cali (and I would love to move somewhere warmer!) but I was told that getting into Cali schools from out of state is quite difficult. Is that true?
