Is this reasonable?

Graduate School Law School

<p>I have a 170 LSAT, 3.65 GPA at U. Penn, double major econ/psyc. I made a quick list of schools that I would want to go and my odds of getting in; just want to see if you agree with what I have, or if I'm being too optimistic...</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>50% chance of getting in:
Berkeley
Penn
NYU</p>

<p><25% chance of getting in:
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
Columbia</p>

<p>That all sounds about right. I would say that UCLA is your safety, same with USC. Georgetown is looking pretty good, too. Berekeley is funky with their admissions so I don't really know about that, but 50% sounds about right for them. Penn and NYU I think are above 50%. They sound like good matches for you. I also think that Columbia should be in the match category. HYS of course is a reach (as it is with everybody) but I think you should have a reasonable chance at Harvard and Stanford. Honestly I doubt Yale... they seem to take pride in rejecting just about everybody.

<p>Apply to one or two true safety schools. I{'m thinking something like Fordham or Emory. It is well worth the application fee to know early on that you are definitely in somewhere - the acceptance letter in hand. Plus, some places might give you merit money with your great grades & LSAT.</p>
