A t-14 Question - thanks in advance

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm here to get your honest opinions about my chances for these top law schools. I've been thinking about this ever since high school but took the business route for college and am now wondering if I've still some hope left.</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>College: UPenn
Majors: Finance & Accounting
GPA: 3.5
LSAT: 175</p>

<p>Some other soft stuff: Almost 40% of my courses have been "honors" as I'm in two honors programs at school and interned at a top five investment bank in NYC. Not an under-represented minority. Fraternity leadership.</p>

<p>I really appreciate your opinions - I'm kind of in an identity crisis mode right now as I don't think I want to return to Wall Street, but will probably regret choices I've made in college as my GPA is definitely not where I would like it to be for admissions. Please let me know what you think odds for H, Y, S, C, C, N, and B are. Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm not experienced at this or anything, but based upon the GPA and LSAT ranges for the top 14 schools, you might have a shot at Georgetown, Cornell, Virginia, Michigan, Northwestern, and possibly even at Penn and Chicago. Of course it depends on how each school values GPA vs. LSAT score.</p>

<p>just curious, after interning at one of the top 5 i-banking firms in NYC, what made you not want to "return to Wall Street" and instead look into law school? </p>

<p>the working conditions? the pay? the work style?</p>

<p>Congrats on your success so far from another Quaker. What were your honors programs? Joseph Wharton and Ben Franklin scholar?</p>

<p>I think the fact that you went to Wharton will boost you a little bit. Even more, that 175 is going to make up a lot of ground for your gpa. I had a friend, normal white guy, with 178/3.4 from Penn who just had an amazing cycle.</p>

<p>You should get into CCN no problem, but B might be tough (they really like GPA's there), and HYS is probably out unless you have some really amazing soft factor. Everywhere else at the t-14 you are a lock.</p>
