<p>Columbia (Reach)
NYU (Reach)

<p>Thanks........</p>
<p>I think there's a law school forum...most people in this one are more concerned about undergrad.</p>
<p>Here are some numbers from lawschoolnumbers.com (These are your chances based off of just your scores compared to past applicant pools).
1. Columbia University School of Law 0.1997432215224017
2. New York University School of Law (0.2850190253101086)
3. The University of Michigan Law School 0.40013563360711385
4. University of Virginia School of Law 0.43957181555707125
5. Georgetown University Law Center 0.47220368841838817
6. Boston College Law School 0.7379034418469766</p>

<li>Fordham University School of Law 0.7769534596019568
I would say that you're in easily to the rest of the schools you listed. You may want to apply to a few more T14s. If you can get excellent recommendations, spend a lot of time writing a superb personal statement and have good ecs you should be a contender at the T14s.</li>
</ol>
<p>with similar stats I was accepted to several T14s. I think you will definitely get into several of those schools and get significant scholarships at a few. Whether you want to attend the best school you can get into (and have a lot of debt) or use a scholarship to a less-competitive school (and have fewer employment options later on) really depends on where you want to work once you graduate.</p>
<p>MR: I'm sure there's something obvious that I'm missing, but I'm having trouble finding the probability engine on LSN. Any chance you can point me to it?</p>
<p>Hi mike,</p>
<p>the LSAC also has a link</p>
<p>What MR posted is pretty close to the chances that the LSAC gives</p>
<p>Mike, the site has a weird layout. Click on resources. Then look for the category known as LSAC,LSDAS, Links. Then the second link is the admission calculator. You'll be switched to the page where you input the data. (Although there will be a few semi-large ads on books for getting into top law that will complicate finding the input boxes). Here is the direct link, <a href="http://www.chiashu.com/lsat.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.chiashu.com/lsat.html</a> .
Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thanks much.</p>
<p>To clarify, Chiashu, which is a calculator based on the official data on the LSAC site, has nothing to do with LawSchoolNumbers.com, which has user-entered profiles, meaning incomplete, self-selected and of sometimes questionable authenticity.</p>
<p>If you apply on time, and you're not a URM (black/hispanic/indian), you will get into every school but nyu and columbia.</p>
<p>From my research I can tell you that you will definitely get into Villanova and St. Johns.</p>
<p>You have great numbers. You should apply to more top 14 schools other than NYU and Columbia, which are ranked #4 and #5, respectively. For some reason, your list completely drops off from there; You inexplicably go from #4 to #25. </p>
<p>Huh?</p>
<p>You should apply to many more schools within that range. Your numbers are probably good enough to get you into at least one coveted "top 14" law school. UMich, Boalt (berkley), Cornell are all well within your reach and worth checking out.</p>
<p>here, check out the numbers for Boalt Hall @ Berkeley, considered one of the elite law schools in the country:</p>
<p>25th-75th percentile LSAT: 164-169
25th-75th percentile GPA: 3.7-3.9</p>
