171, 3.3 LSDAS UGPA (varsity athlete and GPA addendum)
Top 5 undergrad.
Top graduate school with PhD in techonology field.
Taken multiple classes at a top law school and received top grades and recommendations from law school professors.

Strong softs in public service and leadership.
Diversity essay.

I have specific schools I am most interested in but don't want to prejudice answers too much. Chances for all T14?

I don't know much, but you sound like the ideal candidate for scholarships at NU. Splitter, strong softs, unique work experience and credentials for jobs. I would strongly consider EDing there next cycle.

[grades??]

You have some chance at lower t14s, but you wont be getting into any with much scholarship. Maybe Cornell will give you some money. I second the advice about EDing NW.

I think you're being overly pessimistic about scholarship from lower t14s. A 171 will also get some money from NU regardless of ED, but OP should. And same with Georgetown and Duke

Yeah I mean GT Cornell might be offering 10-15k a year for him, but I can't see Duke/Michigan/UVA giving him 20k+ a year. Speaking as a splitter with a phd myself. His GPA is still pretty low and splitters are getting less money than they did a few years ago during my cycle. If that trend continues, I think next cycle a splitter like OP will get some small offers, but not much more than probably 15k a year (unless he snags NW ED).

The last couple years LSATs have fallen a lot at the lower T14s. I looked it up on the graphs, ppl with similar numbers were getting $25k a year from NU, Duke, and Cornell and even more from GT.

Edit: Actually a little less from GT, more like $20k
