You're in great shape, you'll get into the vast majority of T-14's including Harvard. You may get waitlisted at some mid T-14's like Penn because they practice yield protection and know that AA's with your numbers are HYS bound. Most likely out at Yale, but who knows, not sure about Stanford but a decent shot there.

Your chances look damn good. You could retake to maximize $$$

Edit: also your GPA is on the high end of the range I used.

And also Yale looks 50/50 but being K-JD might get you a ding. As long as your apps are in early you will be in at H on down

Correct. OP's GPA will definitely be a plus for Yale and Stanford, they tend to have a hardon for URMs with high (3.9+) GPAs. However her being a k-jd and having a sub-170 LSAT will definitely hurt her at Yale. It's definitely possible to get YLS with a mid to high 160s LSAT if you're AA, but it doesn't happen often, the majority AAs they admit have 170+ LSAT scores in addition to high GPAs. OP will get Harvard and most likely Stanford though.
