YHS Native American
What are my chances at YHS Columbia if I'm closely affiliated to my Native American heritage and graduating from Harvard this year with a 3.4 in chemistry and a 168 LSAT? Any advice?
Thanks!

Probably not great.
Your numbers are on the low side even factoring in your URM bump.

Re: YHS Native American
Yeah, I don't think your chances are great. People have a tendency to WAY overestimate the NA admissions bump. Also, law schools hardly care where you went for undergrad or what you majored in. The NA applicant with a 165 and a 3.8 GPA in American Studies from a state school will likely be in better shape for the top 5 schools. I would retake for a score greater than 170 if you really want a shot, but you'll land some pretty awesome scholarships at the mid to lower T14 with your current stats.albeit 13 wrote:What are my chances at YHS Columbia if I'm closely affiliated to my Native American heritage and graduating from Harvard this year with a 3.4 in chemistry and a 168 LSAT?

FWIW I'm NA and have very similar stats from HYP and I was WL at Columbia Law. Feel free to PM me if you have questions.
