3.2/173 Chances at ED UPenn?
Transcript GPA: 3.39
LSAC GPA: 3.21
LSAT: one cancel, second take 173
Have some work experience creating my own education business and one year teaching in inner-city. 4 years out of college.
What are my chances at getting in UPenn with early decision?
Other schools I'm applying to:
Just for the heck of it: Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, NYU
Possible: Berkeley, Virginia, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, UCLA, USC
Safety: Boston Univ, Davis
Am I being too optimistic?

Probably. Your list is really heavy on CA schools which absolutely hate low GPAs. Even Davis and USC are stretches with a 3.2/173.stherlee wrote:Am I being too optimistic?
Penn is possible with ED. CCN and H are kind of ludicrous wastes of app fees, but you can dream. UVA is out, GULC and NU are probably pretty good. Cornell is a ? and I think BU is a decent bet.

Sorry, didn't mention I'm from CA. Does being from CA help with the low GPA at all?bdubs wrote:Probably. Your list is really heavy on CA schools which absolutely hate low GPAs. Even Davis and USC are stretches with a 3.2/173.stherlee wrote:Am I being too optimistic?

CCN-out unless you ED;
Boalt- out
UVA- out if you don't ED, almost lock if you do
Cornell, USC, UCLA- out because of GPA; maybe if you ED but not sure about that either
Georgetown- good chance
NU - good chance, depending on how they see your WE
Penn with ED: good chance., most likley WL without
So basically, you're out at all target/reaches except GU, NU unless you ED.

Not much, maybe a little at UCLA but i'm still guessing you won't get in.stherlee wrote:Sorry, didn't mention I'm from CA. Does being from CA help with the low GPA at all?bdubs wrote:Probably.

Also, you won't get in to NYU ED, definitely not in at CC ED or not.

Re: 3.2/173 Chances at ED UPenn?
There are only two ED applicants with numbers even close to his, one accept and one reject. How is that helpful?Yeshia90 wrote:Mine is every ED applicant. Mine's better.bdubs wrote:Yeshia90 wrote:http://penn.lawschoolnumbers.com/applic ... =3&type=jd
