3.29/170

Post by zybhlyz » Thu Jul 11, 2019 1:59 am

So here is my number 3.29/170. Biology major.
Currently doing agriculture research and founded a agriculture business.
Filed a patent early this year, haven’t heard anything back.

Any chance in T14?

Thanks

Lower end of T14 you have a shot.

A few people with similar numbers get accepted every year at places like Georgetown or UVA. Unless you are URM, I wouldn't hold out hope for the T6.

Having a STEM background is always a bit of a novelty, but won't do a ton for you. STEM folks who work in patent prosecution tend to punch above their weight in admissions (assuming they don't just take a free ride to night-school), but they are also usually M.S./Ph.D.'s holders who worked for big-law and have partners writing recommendations.

MyLSN is your friend.

Basically, apply to Penn, Michigan, UVA, Duke, and NW among the T13. (Remember that Penn, Mich and UVA almost effectively require a "Why X" essay, so don't forget to write one for those schools!)

Then, blanket the T20: Georgetown, UT, UCLA, Vandy, WUSTL, maybe USC.

With the above application strategy, and an early (before November) application submission date, you have a shot at the T13 and almost guaranteed to have some very appealing T20 offers, notably a near full ride at WUSTL.
