<p>I'll make this concise:
I'm about to finish a double major in Economics and Psychology (B. A & Sc.) at McGill in 3 years (due to AP credit):
GPA: 3.79
LSAT: 175</p>
<p>Schools I applied to: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU, U of Toronto, Osgoode, and Queens</p>
<p>I have notable extracurriculars (debate, human rights org. volunteering, extensive musical experience pre-college) but no national level awards or scholarships and whatnot.</p>
<p>Worked at a large corporation (TransCanada) in Calgary over the past two summers (intern stuff). </p>
<p>If anyone has an idea about my chances for individual schools, or my overall chances of getting into one of the American schools, or even my chances of getting into nothing, I would greatly appreciate your input!</p>
<p>highly likely at Harvard, Columbia & NYU. The chances is highest at NYU. Throw in a few more of the top American law schools, and you are looking at some serious merit scholarships. </p>
<p>Mid-T14 for a full ride is your best bet, in my opinion. Get some fee waivers and add 'em all to the list. You should have a nice, easy cycle.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice - do you have recommendations for schools that are likely to give big merit scholarships? As a Canadian I assumed it wouldn’t be worth it for me to pay American tuition rates unless I’m going somewhere substantially better than U of T (like the 4 I applied to), but I didn’t realize there were schools that gave merit scholarships (none of the ones I applied to except NYU with a few). </p>
<p>All the US schools give merit scholarships except HYS. However, I did not realize you were Canadian. Why go to a US law school at all? Canadian schools are cheaper and teach Canadian law. Plus, it is very difficult to get a US legal job generally, and far more difficult to do so unless you have citizenship. Unless you also have US citizenship, or a way to get it, I wouldn’t advise a US law school.</p>
