You’re in a good place. While you won’t get a bump for URM status, your GPA is solid and you are at a good starting point with the LSAT. Never forget that the LSAT is a test that can be learned. With the right preparation 10+ points is pretty commonplace. If you can end up with a 3.75 and a 172 you will be in at everywhere on your list. At that point you’d be in everywhere aside from HYS. So the moral of the story is LSAT LSAT LSAT. You can totally get in wherever you want. Your GPA is high enough that no school is outside your reach.

Even if we leave you at 164-165 I think you are in at W&M (my undergrad) and George Mason (another undergrad institution that I happened to have transferred from).

Overall you are in very good shape. LSAT prep is a necessity if you are going to aim high.

$$ does decrease in the case of EDs.

And I just realized that you picked multiple Virginia schools. If you are in facet in state that raises your chances significantly at Va. schools. UVA for instance get around 70% of its law students from Virginia residents.

Ok. Done rambling.
