LSAT 175 GPA 3.54

Hello,

I just got my Oct. LSAT score today (first time taking it): 175.
My GPA is 3.54 from Georgetown U. I guess I'm a classic splitter?

I was wondering what my chances were at Columbia and UPenn? Should I even bother applying to Harvard (ridiculously high GPA median)?

Also, would I benefit from Columbia ED or UPenn ED?

Thank you!!!

Your chances are pretty good at Columbia and Penn (will require additional essays & YP shielding).

Harvard isn't happening unless you have something truly remarkable in your application besides your LSAT score to overcome the grades. Still worth the application just in case there's a MASSIVE drop in 173+.

Do not ED. Throw an app at Harvard but don't expect anything to come from it.

no ED? I know Columbia ED isn't really worth it, but UPenn might give me a lock? Those two are my top schools.
Harvard is a HUGE reach...
Sorry, what is YP shielding? And by additional essays, you mean WHY columbia/upenn?

Thankss.
Also, any chance at scholarship money at T10?
