Low GPA, High LSAT, International

Post by legaleye4 » Sun Sep 27, 2015 8:08 pm

Hi guys,

I'm graduating from a T-15 school with a 3.35 gpa (difficult hard science major) and 177 LSAT. I have decent extra-curriculars/work experience with a several leadership positions and strong reccomendations (2 faculty and 1 EC). I'm female, Indian-Kenyan international student. What are my chances at the following schools?

Harvard
Stanford
Columbia
NYU
Cornell
UChicago
Penn
Berkeley
Northwestern

I know a lot of these schools are reaches but this isn't my final list... I'll definitely have more safeties and matches when I apply. However these are the schools that I'd love to attend and want to know how reasonable my shot of getting in is :)

Great shot at getting into several of those, and should see plenty of $$ or $$$, especially at the lower T14. I had a 3.46 and a 175 with an engineering major and did pretty well as a white male. Apply broadly throughout the T14 and see where the money ends up coming from. Definitely apply to Cornell as they tend to be generous even with splitters. With LSAT quartiles slipping and the 175+ test scores becoming scarcer, you have a decent shot as a URM at HYS as well.
