International 170 T14 chances

Hi everyone!

I'm an international with a computer science degree from a world T80-90 university. My converted UGPA is around 3.8x. I have heard that UGPA is irrelevant as law schools only look at the CAS evaluation, which I'm hoping is superior as I'm on track for first-class honours. Technically I'm URM but I don't think I'll be utilising a diversity statement, although very happy to write the why x? essays to increase my chances. My softs are pretty bad.

Problem is that the earliest I can apply is in late Dec/early Jan 2020, and I'm aware my chances are decreasing exponentially as time passes.

With an LSAT of 170 (best of 2)/minimal softs/Superior, I was wondering if I can realistically have a shot at the bottom T14 schools?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :D

170/Superior/URM (make sure you really are, though - e.g., Argentinians are considered Hispanic in the U.S. but usually not considered URM for law-school apps) is very competitive for the T14.

Thanks, if without the URM would I still be competitive for say for a lower end T14...say Northwestern?
