Top Law Schools

167/ 3.44 / non-URM, no real WE

I originally had them as my number 1 "Reach" school, but with no WE I'm starting to think my chance is 0%... Do I have ANY chance (I know it is not much), or would I basically be throwing away $100 by applying?

Probably a reach that is not worth the application fee.

I was planning on applying to 3 "reach schools"

I'm also applying to Texas / Vandy as my 2 other reaches... anyone have any advice on a 3rd reach?

+1. If you had good WE, that'd be enough to convince me it'd be worth the $100 dollar fee, but GPA and LSAT below median + no WE makes it a likely waste of $100

I'm sorry I'm trying to follow this, but I'm not equipped with all the TLS lingo. WE?

WE = work experience.

Work experience... NU is known for caring more about work experience than any other school

In fact only 2% of their students come straight from undergrad, which is why this is probably unrealistic for me

Cornell or Michigan, maybe.

And yeah, WE = work experience. Sorry.

<<< Fail

I just got a random fee waiver in my e-mail, I thought it said "Northwestern" got all excited... it was Northeastern

Last year, slightly over 5% were admitted to NU w/o post undergraduate work experience. My best guess is that their numbers were above median.
