<p>Is there a chance for me in any?</p>

<p>Berkeley grad</p>

<p>Major: Business and Political science

<p>All A's except one B in freshman year..
In the 97th percentile of the LSAT</p>

<p>SAT/SAT MathII tutor </p>

<p>Intern: Business investment bank</p>

<p>Community Activism: protested for women rights in rural Africa; tutoring in urban centers in NY; photo documentary work in post-Katrina.</p>

<p>Essay- Wrote about the protest and how it affected me.</p>

<p>Going for: Corporate law</p>

2

<p>nope, but damn I would love to take you :)</p>

3

<p>anyone else, who actually has gone through this?</p>

4

<p>why not list your GPA and LSAT- that may help</p>

<p>The soft factors seem quite strong, but they typically only come into play for borderline cases. You may be one such case. Your GPA (assuming you meant all A's, not A-'s) should be just fine for H and Y. The LSAT, however, being in the 97th percentile, is not quite competitive. I don't have a scale on hand, but off the top of my head, I'm guessing that means it's below a 170. If so, it'll be tough for you. Law school admissions is primarily a numbers game, as even just a few minutes of research on boards like this will tell you. If you could boost that score by a few points, I'd say you're a shoe-in.</p>

<p>And to address the thread title's question, I did get into HLS. I'm deferring for a year until 2009.</p>

<p>so you have a 168 and like a 3.96? You'd get into a CCN school definitely.</p>

<p>PS: Someone on LSN got into H with a 169, 4.0 from an Ivy. So it's definitely worth applying.</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>Dose the essay sound too clich</p>

8

<p>A 97th percentile LSAT score is like 167-168, which is not anywhere near competitive for H/Y unless you're a minority.</p>

<p>Obviously there's no way to assess the cliche-ness of an essay from a nine-word description.</p>

10

<p>If I was to compare my stats to yours, would there be any difference expect the LSAT score?</p>

<p>I am sweating just thinking about HLS and Yale >_<"</p>

<p>I have no clue what is my safety school :(</p>

<p>If I don’t get into neither, I would try to get into Cornell or Duke...?</p>

<p>I will try to raise the LSAT, it was my dream to become a lawyer from Yale since I was 8 years old.</p>
