168/167, international 7 schools applied! Help!

Post by lilMiao » Mon Jan 07, 2013 1:58 pm

A Lower retake....... T^T

I've applied for NYU (I know it's quite not possible now....)
UPenn
Michigan
Duke
Georgetown
Cornell
UCLA

And not planing to apply for any more schools...
No work experience and major in Mathematics.

Any insights on chances that i could get in the schools above? (Hopefully T-14..!)

I am applying this cycle!

Cornell is definitley your best shot.

Its unlikely youll be admitted to the others since you are below their LSAT medians and you dont have an above median American GPA to balance it out.

Consider applying to T20s like UT/USC/UMN/UW/GW and ALL T30s (those would be the best schools you are at/above median) . You would have great shots across the board and scholarships would be likely.

Also consider retaking in Feb/June if you think you can imporve. Even 1 or 2 more points would make a big difference at T14s + UCLA/Vandy
