<p>So I'm applying to NYU, Fordham, Pace, Columbia, and Brooklyn law. I have a 3.9 GPA and a 171 on my LSAT. I am half Irish and half Puerto Rican, so I don't think I'm a URM. I go to Marist College(no name). I don't have alot of EC's, but I work about 30-35 hrs a week, so I never was able to get involved in the clubs/organizations. What are my chances to get accepted to Fordham, NYU or Columbia???</p>
<p>You’d get into Fordham, and maybe for both NYU and Columbia but you have a good chance nevertheless.</p>
<p>Columbia: coin flip
NYU: pretty good shot
Fordham: in with $$$
You’d have full rides at Pace and Brooklyn, but don’t even bother applying. Their law schools aren’t worth it.</p>
<p>I’d recommend throwing an app at Harvard and Stanford.</p>
<p>Definitely apply to Cornell as well, as I’m sensing a New York bias in your choices.</p>
<p>I’d double-check if you’re URM or not-- because I’m pretty sure Puerto Rican is URM, even if only half. If you are indeed a URM, you’re an auto-admit at everywhere except YHS.</p>
<p>Puerto Rican is URM, and you have a very good chance at HLS.</p>
<p>Even have a slight chance at Yale if your essays and softs are quite nice. But pretty much in everywhere else.</p>
<p>What was your major?</p>
<p>My major was history, and thanks everybody for the feedback.</p>
<p>Apply to more T10s. Ditch everything below them.</p>
<p>Brooklyn Law is the laughing stock of the NYC legal community. With your stats, you can do MUCH better. I would only consider going there if it was for free.</p>
