<p>“I feel like a 3.5 from Harvard, Yale, or Princeton should carry a bit more weight than said GPA from a lower ranked school.”</p>
<p>Why? Some schools might, but it’s definitely a “soft.” </p>
<p>“I am not terribly worried about the LSAT (I have been taking practice tests all summer ot of boredom”</p>
<p>“I took a Practice LSAT and got a 170, albeit not under normal test conditions (due to scheduling obligations, I had to take it in 35 minute chunks over the course of the day).”</p>
<p>The first quote sounds like you’ve been taking a bunch of practice tests. The second like you just took one and magically got a 170. Have you been taking a lot of them and 170 was your best one? </p>
<p>Anyway, if you really are scoring 170 without extensive prep, then you are in good shape.</p>
