What about for Duke? Aiming too high?

no. apply.

yeah, duke is too low.

you can easily hit T10, and dependent on your softs/URM status, etc., might be able to hit T6

Duke's medians are pretty much your stats. Apply and I bet you get in.

Why UNC?

Is that an actual or predicted LSAT score? If it's an actual score, you are in very good shape.

I feel it's the most attainable. My undergraduate school isn't too prestigious, I don't have any outstanding internships, I'm white, male, and from out of state.

Dude. Work on your reading comprehension: AIM HIGHER. No one cares what UG you went to, internships aren't a big factor, and being white and male aren't handicaps; they just aren't boosts.

What everyone else has said has been correct. I'm from NC (an unknown UG, white female, boring softs) and UNC is kinda a safety for anyone I know who scored over 162. Don't sell yourself short. Job prospects aren't too hot coming from the school/state. Plus coming to UNC from OOS may be a disadvantage.

That really doesn't matter at the admissions stage. I had a 175/3.8 and ended up with $$ from T6s, despite having 0 internships, no involvement in campus life, working retail during the summers, and going to a mediocre state U. It may have an impact on your grades or your ability to get a job with unimpressive grades, but it's not going to hold you back right now.

Admission to NYU is in the cards.

Don't go to UNC. Duke or UVA if you want to stay around the Mid-Atlantic. It's worth throwing in an app to all the T-14 minus Harvard and Yale.

Don't sell yourself short.
