Hey folks,
I am planning on applying to a good chunk of the t14 schools and just one or two safetys. I am hoping that my relatively low GPA will be buffeted by the fact that I'm above the 75th percentile LSAT score for every school on my list and the fat that that I've taken a law and policy masters program and mostly achieved honors grades. I know that this is a soft factor and schools don't care about non-GPA marks, but I would hope an admissions person would be like 'Hey here's proof this person can do well with law classes''. Here's my confirmed applications list so far:
Harvard
NYU
Northwestern
UC Berkeley
UVA
Michigan
BU
Lewis and Clark(I took a legal masters program there, have big home field advantage).
So besides the fact of what shot I have at these schools, I am wondering whether I can expect financial aid from any of the t-14s I'm applying to? I'm worried because I don't want to pay sticker price, but I also know my numbers are not like jaw droppingly stellar.

Re: 3.59/173 non-URM chances
Only way to find out is to apply. You could plausibly get merit aid at any of the non-HYS T14, but you're not a lock anywhere either.
Instead of "a good chunk," you should just blanket the entire T14 (Yale and Stanford arguably skippable, but personally I'd rather not have to wonder what could have been). That's how you maximize your money chances.
