<p>170 LSAT
3.9 GPA
Top 40 undergrad
poli sci/philosophy double major
Very average ECs</p>
<p>Is Harvard a reach, or realistic? Columbia? Duke? Northwestern?</p>
<p>I am not really qualified to answer but I will try.</p>
<p>I don't see Harvard at all with that LSAT.
Columbia won't be easy but you have a small chance. I heard 172 is what you need to have a good chance there.
Duke is not a bad chance. You are in range for NW, but the lack of work experience might hurt you since your LSAT isn't significantly above average for them.</p>
<p>^what about the 3.9 GPA? That doesn't count for something?</p>
<p>I'm a *little *more optimistic. HLS looks like a very low probability, but not zero. CLS is moderate-to-low. Duke and Northwestern both look pretty solid.</p>
<p>Apply to all top 14 law schools; you'll likely get in somewhere. You may even get aid money from some schools. Just apply (and let us know). Good luck.</p>
<p>By the way, maybe I am biased, but the philosophy major is a nice touch. :)</p>
<p>A barrel roll. </p>

<p>wow my stats are almost identical to yours. except i have 171. would 1 point on the lsat make any difference, or am i looking at the same cycle? does anyone know</p>
<p>The LSAT is a funny exam. A few points do make a bit difference just like it does on the ACT. One point, however, isn't that significant.</p>
