<p>hi everyone. i am an undergrad at a "top" school and have a 3.6 gpa. my lsat will be somewhere around 170 (hopefully!) and I am wondering about my chances for a top 14 law school. I am a finance major/spanish minor but i have taken 5 semesters of chinese and have studied abroad in Beijing and Madrid. I do not do many extracurricular activities but have had interesting internship experience and clearly a variety of both academic and non academic interests. Do law schools notice I've taken Chinese simply to learn (and not even for major credit) and that I take extra classes? Do they care? What do you all think? Need some advice as I'm starting to apply soon...</p>
<p>Chinese will matter a little and extra classes will matter a little. Any reasonable chances evaluation requires an LSAT score. Take the LSAT and then decide where to apply.</p>
<p>Ask for chances once you have a solid GPA and LSAT score.</p>
<p>With those scored you’ll get into a T14 most likely, though definitely at the bottom half. Georgetown is definitely realistic.</p>
<p>my gpa is a 3.61 and will be when i apply to school. given a 170 lsat score, what do you think about uva/georgetown/duke? totally unrealistic?</p>
<p>No, you definitely have a good shot at georgetown…personally I think you get in if you have decent softs.</p>
<p>Duke and UVA are both tougher, I think you have a very good chance at Duke if you ED with those numbers, UVA I’m not so sure.</p>
<p>As the sticky post says… “Given a 170 LSAT” doesn’t really mean much on this board, it seems.</p>
<p>because it’s just an ok score?</p>
<p>Because hypothetical scores don’t mean anything.</p>
