LSDAS GPA: 4.17
Top 10 UG (dunno if this gives a boost)
Pretty solid extracurriculars (Resident Assitant, internships in DC, editor on my school's student newspaper) but nothing amazing
Non-URM
I'm taking the LSAT on June 11 and have been PTing around 175. If I can score a 170 (I usually underperform on tests due to anxiety), will I have a shot at every school in the nation? Specifically, what would be my chances for HYS and Columbia, respectively?
More specifically, if I get a 170 should I even bother applying to places like Harvard?

here are the profiles with stats in the range you've given...check their records by clicking each of their profile names. you can see more relevant people by changing the cycle year to gauge your chance against the past applicants.
ETA: I capped LSAT at 175

The thing about LSP is that I really don't know whether a GPA above a 4.0 would help me as much as their formula makes it help me.

Then hedge your bets and put in a 4.0. The answer will be somewhere in the middle.

I think rather than constantly worrying about the score you need; you should just wait until you get your score and go from there. who knows, it might be considerably higher than what you need
