3.75, 175 - HYS? Forum

[helvetica12]

Hello!
I have a 3.75, which I know is a little low considering the 25th percentile GPA at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford is usually around 3.8. However, I have a pretty strong upward trend—I had a terrible freshman year and essentially straight A's from sophomore to senior year. Would they take this into account when looking at my transcript? (I majored in political science with minors in philosophy and mathematics.) My LSAT is 175. I have relatively unique extracurriculars.
What do you think my chances are at these schools, as well as places like Columbia, Georgetown, and Penn (probably actually my top choices).
Thank you!

Oh, come on, I love these questions. Stop shutting them down, lol.

It would help to know your softs. Definitely write a GPA addendum, at least for H/S. You've got a non-negligible shot at both, but chances aren't particularly great. Probably out at Y. With a decent PS, I'd be surprised if you failed to get in at CCN on down, barring yield protect.

I'd say you're more likely to get into Harvard than to not. Yale and Stanford almost certainly aren't happening.
