Top Law Schools

Hello all! I am planning on applying next fall with a 3.7 and 176. I am currently trying to assemble a good mix of reaches, matches, and safeties for law school applications. My main question is: should I apply to Harvard Law (i.e. do I stand a chance)?

My undergrad was within the top 30 (USNWR) and I majored in social sciences with many upper-level and grad level courses. I also have work experience (<2 years).

Apologies if none of the details are important, I have never posted here before. I have used LSN, but the acceptance rate seems rather high for my numbers for HLS (with a very small sample size). Thanks in advance for any help!

You should certainly apply to HLS, as well as to the remaining T13 schools. I don't see a need to apply to "safeties" outside the T13, though you could consider tossing a specific T20 or two into the mix if you want.

I got in with those numbers a few cycles ago. I applied on day on and got accepted at the end of March.

Thanks for the replies! I will likely end up applying

Yes, and you will very likely be admitted. As other posters have advised, you should blanket the T13 and take a good, hard look at any full tuition merit scholarships you may receive.
