Top Law Schools

Wondering how likely I am to be accepted by Vanderbilt since its probably my only chance of getting into a highly ranked school according to mylsn.info.

I got into Vandy with a 148,but my GPA was higher -- 3.8. Your LSAT is way higher than mine, so I would think you have a shot. I am also an AA male.

Also apply to the lower T14. I got into Georgetown and Northwestern because I had a lot of work experience. I also got into GW with money and Howard with good money. Rejected from everywhere else though.

Did you choose Vandy at sticker?

No, I chose GW with significant money.

For some reason, I didn't get a notification that you replied. I'm sorry about that.

I did the ultimate work experience in law school admission circles: three years of Teach for America.

Is this sarcasm?

What do you mean? It's not "ultimate" to teach (as it is becoming more and more challenging in our education system), but law school admissions tend to look favorably on it. Of course, there are better jobs, but three years of teaching in a challenging environment in cities that are likely not desirable with under-performing students is an admirable thing.

Its admirable, but TFA doesn't get you a bump anymore. A large portion, over 10% of my t13 class is TFA. You will get no bump for TFA.

I mean good for you, but being so sure-footed on your pedestal with "ultimate" was so lulzy I thought might be sarcasm.
