You wont get Y with that gpa and non-urm. S is unlikely since they dont stress LSAT as heavily.

Harvard is quite likely: apply ASAP. Also Butler at CLS would be a good option.

I agree with this. You could get S and Y, but they'd have to love your softs. It would also help if you had some other plus factor that you didn't indicate (e.g. you went to a top UG, you were a STEM major), because, as shitty as this is, 3.72 is on the low side for both schools.

Congrats on the LSAT score! I bet you'll get H and almost every other school as it is.

3.7x/175+ is traditionally butler territory. It's harder to receive named schollies when you're not a first round admit (which would require having applied in the fall), but its still possible.

NYU would also be generous ($75K territory). The others are unpredictable for aid since you are below a lot of GPA medians (chicago, penn, uva, duke, ect.) but way above 75%ths.
