165 , 4.0
Only interested in applying to Stanford and Columbia ED. For me personally, I will either get accepted to those schools or pursue a different career (which I'm totally fine with). As such, I will not retake. I'm actually quite indifferent but I am interested in hearing feedback on what my estimated % at acceptance are. Lower than 10%?
Thanks, guys.

URM? Softs? Chances are probably nil at both otherwise

Not URM. Softs are pretty unspectacular, run of the mill internships and a little bit of research work. I figure I might as well apply since I bothered to take the damn lsat though.

Solicit a fee waiver from Columbia. But you're right, it's worth being out $150 knowing you couldn't get in, apply.hopefulapp wrote:Not URM.

Based purly on numbers, very low shot at both. Probably less than 10%...
You have a pretty good shot at other T14s though.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the feedback in any case. I'm just trying to have a minor fallback contingency in case I get no-offered FT this summer.
edit: in case anyone is interested, I only took one practice test and I scored a 154

Re: 165 , 4.0
For your reference, here's how people with your numbers have done over the last several cycles: http://myLSN.info/b6mlfx.
The majority of people with your stats make it on to the waitlist at Columbia, which I found surprising. There's no telling what percentage of these applicants are ultimately admitted. Given CLS's love of high LSAT scores, however, most probably are not.

Re: 165 , 4.0
You are probably going to get waitlisted at Columbia, but who knows how that will pan out. You should apply to other schools or retake.
