GPA: 3.8
LSAT: 171
Softs:
CPA,CFA, 3 years experience at slightly prestigious professional services firm
Published writer (I wrote a horror story that was picked up by a publishing company)
Competitive bodybuilder (LOL, wasn't sure if this should be relative at all... maybe hard work/dedication)
White male
You'll be fine.

You should get into most of them, and with good money from some lower T14 schools.

Columbia is doable.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Do you think I have any shot at HYS? I realize the LSAT is a bit low for them, but I feel like my experiences are pretty unique. I'm assuming no shot, unless an LSAT retake.

Pretty sure you're below both medians at all three. That + white male = retake for hys

The published author/bodybuilder combo does sound like it could make for an interesting application, so it isn't impossible, but honestly being below median for both LSAT and GPA is a lot to come back from. If you want a realistic shot at YHS you have to retake.

Y is a pipe dream for most people so I wouldn't count on it.

H is more likely than S

Why Columbia? What do you want to do after law school?

I would apply everywhere. IIRC Y took something like a 152 a couple years ago and what I heard was their only great soft was being a published author. There may have been something else, but I think it's a unique enough soft where it's worth the app fee with your numbers.

If you really want HYS and you strike out you can always retake.
