Liberal arts degree from top 30 undergrad, no good excuse for the Ws. no URM, average softs.

I'm thinking:
Georgetown
Northwestern
USC
UCLA
UVA
Cornell
Columbia

I know I'm a little late in the process. Thoughts?

I see no reason to doubt LSN:

Looks like you've got a decent shot at NU (do you have WE?) and a good shot at Georgetown, although paying very close to sticker. Anyways, I'd apply even more broadly in the lower T-14. That 177's awesome; force them to say no to you. It's possible your softs/PS will catch someone's eye.

Thanks. I don't know what WE is so I probably don't have it.

Various internships through college and an entry level job out of school I did well at. Nothing too amazing

The Ws won't matter

Congrats on your LSAT

How long have you been out of school? From what I understand, Northwestern isn't looking for prestigious work experience, they're looking for people who have professional experience and know how to interview, etc.

That seems like your best shot.
