Would you go if you got in? Then apply.

Yeah. Of course I would go if any one of HYS wanted me.

Thanks!

With your LSAT, I'd say Above Average should be perfectly fine for at least HLS. I personally know several ppl with 175+ LSAT and Above Average that made it to HLS.

Don't write sth silly on your app and you should be able to get at least one of HYS.

The fact that you've been working as a lawyer already for four years is a pretty impressive soft, and the LSAT score is phenomenal. I don't think the AA rating is as bad as you think (and you can always add an addendum giving further context for your grades if you think it's necessary). It's not a waste of a $60 application fee to apply, you've got a reasonable chance, especially if you can kill it on the essay. Unless you're a terrible writer, I'd be shocked if you didn't get in to at least one of HYS.

Apply to all of them. You are above all of their medians and have nothing to lose. Write good essays that are proofread by a few people and make sure you explain everything about your career in an addendum if you think it will help

Thanks! I hope I did not write anything silly

The application fee for Stanford was $100--I did not have a fee waiver. It was more expensive than any other school I applied to, but encouraged by your replies, I applied anyway.
Thanks for your kind reply. It helps a lot.

Thanks! I already talked about my career (one important case I did) in the PS, so I will not submit an addendum.
