Harvard/Stanford

Post by Whittie » Wed Oct 19, 2016 9:51 pm

Hey all - just got my scores back. Have a 175 and a 3.9 LSAC gpa.

My question is this: historically, have people been a lock at either Harvard or Stanford with those numbers? Or am I still looking at potentially being rejected by both?

Sorry if this appears as a troll, I'm just looking for whatever advice I can get.

Good luck to everyone!

There aren't really locks for Stanford, but you're looking awfully good at both. Also competitive for valuable scholarships at non-HYS t14. It's an individual decision obviously, but I'd be gunning hard for the Rubenstein or Hamilton scholarships in your spot.

Congratulations on those numbers. Not sure if this is what you're getting at, but I would definitely still apply to a few "safety schools" lower in the T14 to cover your bases. Your odds are of course great at getting into Harvard at the very least (At or close to the 75th percentile mark in both categories), but crazy things do happen on occasion. If this guy can get turned down at Yale, anything is possible: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/Bearlyalive
