<p>As a person who just went through law school applications in the last cycle, you’re definitely in great shape for law school admissions… just to clear things up tho:</p>
<p>1) 3.5 from HYP will provide a boost in law school applications, but of unequal value. If you attend H, you’ll get a noticeable boost for your chances at HLS, while Y and P will basically count as strong softs.</p>
<p>2) However, as a Black male you are among the most sought after URMs for law school admissions. Coming from HYP with a 3.5, if you score a 170+ you are 95% guaranteed one of the top 3 law schools (HYS).</p>
<p>3) Even with a 3.3, 170+ you have very good chances… just make sure you get that high LSAT as that will be the main factor guaranteeing your admission to the top law schools. Either way, a 3.3 or 3.5 will still be below the 25th percentile GPA for the top law schools, which is what makes the LSAT so important… prepare well and get a high score (retake if you have to) and you’ll do fine.</p>
<p>For example, in this cycle two black males were admitted to HLS with:
~3.3 GPA, ~173 LSAT
~3.2 GPA, ~171 LSAT</p>
