165/4.0/International/URM - Is my list realistic?
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 3:48 pm
Looking to apply to law school in the U.S. as I am in the process of moving there in the next 1.5 years. Stats are as above (LSAT score based on practice tests w/ no prep, sure I can squeeze a 170 when I actually study).
I am looking at
Schools like Columbia, NYU, Fordham, Georgetown, GW, Boston Univ., Howard, UPenn, maybe YLS.
One thing that may hurt is my lack of extracurriculars but that's explainable because I have had to work full time alongside studying to support myself during undergrad. I am looking to patch up my experience with some volunteering and campus work as a research assistant in my final year of undergrad.
Are my target schools realistic?
I will be a green card holder by the time my application season rolls around, if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance
