Chances for t14

Post by BLawSchoolZ » Mon Nov 11, 2019 7:59 pm

I have a perfect GPA (4.0/4.0) at the University of Virginia; I have gotten an A in every single class, majoring in Political Science. I have a pretty good resume, with internships including a two-year judicial clerkship (the judge will write a letter of rec. for me), as well as at another firm. I have also studied abroad at University of Oxford, conducting political and legal research with Oxford professors ("dons"), who will write letters of recommendation for me. If everything else on my application is good, what LSAT score (range?) do I need to probably get into the top of the T14 schools? My target schools are: Columbia, Harvard, NYU.
I have been practicing the LSAT, and am currently in the mid-to-high 160's. (167 is the score I've gotten most.) I will continue to practice, and hopefully will be in the 170's range, but if not... What LSAT score do I need to probably get into the top of the T14 schools?

You still want to be in the 170s to have a decent shot at HYS. And you'd be a fool to not do everything you can to break into that score tier, because you'll start to open up the possibility of a full ride at CCN.

And no matter what, get broader with your target schools.
