Best school I can get with 2300 SAT?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I want to go to law school, and I'm trying to put myself in the best position to do that. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT:
2300 (CR: 780, M: 750, W: 770)
1530/1600</p>

<p>GPA:
4.0 UW</p>

<p>AP Classes:
4 so far (all 5's)
Taking 6 senior year</p>

<p>Mediocre extracurricular activities, with some pretty neat research internships for the past 2 summers, coaching soccer for the past 4 summers, and varsity soccer for 4 years in high school.</p>

<p>I'm trying to put myself into position to go to the best possible law school I can.</p>

<p>Thanks, and any information helps a lot!</p>

<p>Theoretically you could probably get into every school besides maybe CalTech and MIT because your SAT Math is only 750
you could potentially get into all of them
as far as places you have a 50% shot
UC-Berkeley
Colorado College
Duke
University of Chicago
Brown
Columbia
Rice
UCLA
Amherst
NYU
Cornell
UNC-Chapel Hill
Washington U in St Louis</p>

<p>I don’t know which is the best for pre-law
but I would recommend University of Chicago
Harvard, Yale, Princeton
but Harvard Yale and Princeton you probably have about a 20-30% shot</p>

<p>What about Columbia? What would you say my chances are for there?</p>

<p>@j6ma9l, I got into MIT with a math score of 740. OP, take the Math II Subject Test. That counts for more, as the math tested is closer to pre-college level. SAT I Math is too simple. </p>

<p>You need to craft your application around something you have a passion in. For instance, you can write your essays about your research experiences. Or volunteer experiences. For these schools, you really need to excel in one area while being good at other areas.</p>

<p>Took the Math II Subject Test–750 :/</p>

<p>Forgot to post those SAT II tests…</p>

<p>US History: 790
Chemistry: 800
World History: 760
Math Level 2: 750</p>

<p>Those who major in pre-law for undergrad test lower on the LSAT than other majors. In fact, pre-law is in the bottom five average LSAT scores for all majors. So don’t think you need to (or even should) major in pre-law. </p>

<p>Law school’s expensive so saving money for undergrad might be a good idea. With high test scores you’ll qualify for merit aid at a good number of schools.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at almost any school, do you know what you are looking for in a college (besides a pre-law program)?</p>

8

<p>Well not necessarily a pre-law program, and nothing in particular–just the school that will put me in the best position for law school.</p>

<p>I think you should identify what you want in a school. For example I am looking for a small liberal arts school on the East coast. Figure out what exactly you want (or more then what you said) because in reality most top tier schools will do a great job of preparing you for law school and then people can help you more.</p>

<p>Community college might be a reach.</p>

<p>loljk.
Pretty much most schools.</p>

<p>Law schools usually don’t care what college you went too. They mostly look at LSATs and GPAs.</p>
