<p>I do not necessarily prefer Harvard over Yale. Yale seems to be a reach for EVERYONE, though. Harvard is more number based, no? I have a spectacular GPA and am aiming for a great LSAT score. My extracurriculars are good, but let’s be honest here: I am not a Rhodes scholar nor have I done anything that has made the papers. I look at Yale’s applicant pool and am seriously intimidated. I will apply, but my hopes are not too high. Anyways, I love the location of Harvard. Both of them would be a dream for me. If I get into Yale, I’d be tempted to turn down Harvard. Also, Yale feeds more into legal academia(or so I’ve heard).</p>
<p>So anybody else have opinions on my decision to only remain at UCLA for 3 years and take a gap year afterwards(during which I study vigorously for the LSAT)?</p>
