What Are My Chances for HYS?

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate any advice you guys would have on putting together a strong application for the top three law schools- it's been my dream to attend Harvard or Stanford Law for a few years now, and now that it's time to actually apply, I'd love to know what you think of my chances of getting in. I graduated from an Ivy League with a 3.7, am currently doing a Fulbright, and I've just started studying for the LSAT but I've been scoring consistently between 170-172 and I'm hoping to improve that by at least a few points by the time I actually take them. </p>

<p>I know my GPA is slightly on the low side for Harvard and Stanford, but if it's worth anything, I went from just above a 3.00 my freshman year to a 3.7 (and honors) by my senior year. Do schools care about a huge improvement in grades? </p>

<p>Any advice on improving my chances to get in would be really appreciated! </p>

<p>If you are unhooked, score at least 173 for HLS…</p>

<p>You can always apply to Columbia if you fall short of the 173 mark. But how much of a dropoff in job opportunities is there between HYS and CCN?</p>
