Very similar stats, though you have better softs than me. my cycle as of now is: In at Boalt, UCLA, USC, GWU. Held @ Gtown. If you are applying this cycle, it would make things tougher because it is pretty late...

Thanks for the response. I am giving it a shot this cycle, and if I don't get in .. I will try again in June. Do you think it would hurt my chances if I apply twice?

I am freaking out because I am afraid that I am applying late in the cycle. The consensus is that softs don't help that much, and my LSAT scores are not that great.

Pretty sure everyone thinks it doesn't hurt.
