Top Law Schools

I think I can retake and pull off a 171/172. Do I have a reasonable shot at any t14? Really interested in Chicago or Columbia, plan on applying early and with ED after some further planning.

Look at each school's 25/75 for GPA and the LSAT.

I'd say you're a lock for several T14's.

I tried look at law school numbers, and the law school predictor sites, and it seems to be mixed reviews. Do you think I have any chance for CLS or Chicago?

I think "chance" is the key term. Of course you have a chance; the GPA may be a bit prohibitive, but apply with confidence and just hope for the best.

I don't care what anyone says, I am applying to the whole T14 with a bit of a higher GPA and a lower LSAT than you have. I've seen several TLS experts tell someone they had no chance at this or that school, and that poster came back to tell the expert that they were accepted.

You have a strong GPA and an elite LSAT; for all you know, you could get accepted to a couple of T6's. I say apply everywhere your heart desires.

My .02

Good chance at MVP, probably out at CCN unless you get a 172 or higher.

I got into UVA with a 170 and 3.4 (though my softs are crazy good) so you shouldn't have much trouble.
