Top Law Schools

3.57/164, Hispanic, ivy ug, 1 year as DC biglaw paralegal (firm where many lawyers come from GW, don't think it matters).

Any shot? Somewhere else? Retake and wait?

Thanks!!

Probably zero unless you are a hispanic URM that gets a bump, but even then probably not. Why dont you focus on getting that LSAT up. If you can get into an ivy, you can do much better on the lsat.

What about northeastern, American or Brooklyn? I wanna stay in one of these 3 cities and would gladly attend any of these 3 if it comes with some money attached.

Thanks again!

don't go to those schools

But why?

I'm an international student and have low means, which means I can't afford much tuition and COL and can't even take loans without a US co-signer, which I don't have since I've been living by myself in the US ever since I've been here. Doing it out of sheer need because I really want to go to law school. Maybe transfer after 1L?

Based on myLSN, you have about a 33% chance for GW ED.

You may want to consider Washington & Lee, as well? ED at BU might be a good idea, too.

American only has small amount of data available, but they do have 100% acceptance rate for your numbers under ED. Same with Northeastern and Brooklyn. Looks like they might give you money, too. That may be the way to go.

But those schools won't get you biglaw, and biglaw is practically required for a visa.

I believe I'll wait it out and retake for next cycle, seems to be more worth it than heading in...
