Weak softs, non-URM, large public university.

I've applied to most of the T14, but I'm curious if it's worth throwing an app at Stanford and Harvard this late in the game? Should I just not waste the money, and wait to hear back from everywhere else?

Thank you for your opinions!

Might as well apply. Eliminates the lingering "what if..."

yeah, and dean deal has said she doesn't hold anything against later applicants.

If you really want HYS, then retake for a few more points...reapply next cycle.

In at Chicago and down with decent money, probably a full ride at UVA, but you need to retake for YSH and Columbia. 1 more point will open up Harvard / Columbia, 2 more makes HS a lock and any more gives you a chance at Yale.

maybe H, no YS

Stanford weighs softs more than probably any other school, but OP is still at LSAT median and above 75th for gpa. I think they'd have a better shot there than H. Either way worth throwing the app to both unless $100 is that important to you.
