Also a 3.3 gpa with a very good LSAT wouldn't necessarily be fatal at NYU

IMO it pretty much is fatal (unless you mean like 178+ on LSAT.

With a 3.3 he should focus on killing the LSAT and heading to a good school (BC, Fordham, etc.) Even there it won't be too easy, even with great LSAT.

go to lawschoolnumbers.com....its a site where applicants put in tons of info about their gpa, lsat, etc. and then the results of the application process.


you can put in a bunch of filters to figure out what you need to get on LSAT for a shot at these schools.


Also, check out LSAC's website for another measure.


(WARNING: Don't be encouraged when you see last year 12 people with 3.3 and 170 got into Harvard or something. They are minorities. SO unless you are a minority or know Bush personally, don't plan on getting in.)


EDIT: For NYU, from 05-06 cycle for people with 3.25-3.35 GPA, it says 5 accepted and 28 rejected/waitlisted. Of the 5 accepted, only two specify race and both are minorities. Of those rejected or waitlisted, there are LSAT scores of 179, 174, etc.

I'm not saying don't apply, but don't expect too much.
