<hr>

<p>so what would I need to score on the lsat to get into HYS law or say a T14 with these stats?
Does anyone have any advise, or ideas to improve my chances? </p>

<p>I’m also considering studying abroad</p>

<p>thanks for any replies.</p>

<p>Probably not getting into HYS with a 3.6. With a 3.7, you’e need a 175+ for a chance at H.</p>

<p>170+ for a good T14 shot.</p>

3

<p>Thanks for the reply, ok so I’ve heard that if your studying something like EE, then you get a break… is that true, plus how do ecs effect your chances into harvard? are they irrelevant?</p>

4

<p>Engineering helps, but not to the degree you’re looking for.</p>

<p>ECs help, but it depends on the quality. Typical UG ECs only give a minor boost.</p>

5

<p>so what types of ec’s boost your resume?</p>

6

<p>Nothing that you can do at UT, probably (minor boosts do come from leadership in clubs and substantive work experience).</p>

7

<p>FH is probably right. If you’re applying to HYS with a 3.6, there are no majors or EC’s that will help you enough to get you in. A 3.7/Engineering is borderline.</p>

<p>The good news is that the T14 is well within range for you, pending LSAT score.</p>
