What are my chances? 3.85/173/n-URM/KJD

Hi everyone,

I just took the June LSAT and I improved my score from a 16high to a 173. I will graduate with a B.S in computational biology and a B.A in philosophy with an LSAC GPA of 3.85 this fall.

My ideal outcome is transactional biglaw, preferably in a securities, private equity, or venture capital practice group. I am comfortable working in either the CA, NY, or TX markets, and I am a Texas resident. I have little to 0 work experience in my original STEM major as I decided I wanted to go to law school in the second semester of my freshman year of undergrad. I have basic work experience in finance (think internships at bulge bracket investment banks).

What schools do I have a good chance of getting into with those goals in mind.

You have a realistic shot everywhere other than Yale and Stanford.

Agreed with TTTTor. Apply broadly. Hit every T14 (I would take a shot at HYS, however, YS are always impossible to predict, especially Y). Should get great packages to the lower T14, which I would encourage you sincerely consider.
Best of luck.
