<p>Honestly, no one can tell you for sure. Here is a story that isn't right on point,but there is some analogy:</p>

<p>My friend's son graduated number 3 at the University of Maryland Scholars program with a 3.95. He took the LSAT and got 150,which is very mediocre for even good law schools, nevermind the top schools. His scores would be akin to your SATs, percentage wise. He only got into the University of Maryland ( probably because they can't refuse to take one of their own top kids) and some tier 3 law schools. Not one top school accepted him. </p>

<p>Again, no one will be able to give you a difinitive answer.</p>

<p>PS: He was in the top 15% of his class after his first year and maybe even a bit higher ranked.</p>
