I know someone (non URM) that got into Penn with an almost identical GPA from a non-top public university and lower LSAT. However, she got in off the waitlist.

But, there's a chance!

I think you have a fighting chance. Will probably be an expensive tab though.

+1. Possibly different person unless she had a sex change; exact same circumstances.

He also got in at GULC and Cornell off the WL. He rode a lot of WLs deep into the summer so be ready.
