My friend Leslie just received a phone call from Harvard Law School explaining that they have a spot for her. She got into Harvard Law.
That being said, she has a 3.9, speaks French fluently, studied abroad at Sciences Po in Paris, interned in Paris at the American embassy for two summers, was one of 25 finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship, as well as the Marshall Scholarship, etc. Not surprising I suppose.
I wanna go to Harvard Law School… *stomps feet*

Damn.
And do you know what her LSAT score was?
I asked her and she replied “good”. I’m like… what’s good and she replied, “really good”. this is coming from someone who triple majored with a 3.9. Before someone told me what her gpa was, her response was “good”. so.. i dunno. Definitely above a 170. I would guess a 172ish. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was better… the 25-75% median for hls is like a 170-176. so.. dunno.
all i know is that i need to start studying now.
That sounds like a pretty conventional path. Your story will be far more compelling to any schools you apply at.
I love your optimism 🙂 I gotta have the cred to back it up though. I’ll be competing with students like her.
