does a 3.1 gpa really put me out of the running at gt, nyu and uf? even if tax gpa is a few pts higher?

Law review? Moot court? How many tax courses?

Not sure on your chances but I would at least add Northwestern.

And according to Christ-Choice, if you repeatedly chant amen amen amen, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah, you can get into any school you want. Lol.

NYU probably won't happen for you--very competitive. I'd also say you are marginal at the other two programs. Your GPA is a bit lower than what is generally accepted at UF and GULC.

But you are at a Top-40 law school -- so that will certainly help. If you were at a Top-25, I'd say you'd have no problem.

I honestly don't know what law review or moot court has to do with this discussion. I had neither of those on my transcripts and got into all three.

Sure, it helps -- but I strongly doubt those activities will tip the scales one way or the other (unless all things are equal, which they never are).

My feeling is that they look at where you went to school and your rank there. Just my 2 cents.

My law school is actually top 30. that was an error on my part
i was on a journal and had some good extra curriculars. 2 tax classes b+ avg.
what are my chances at northwestern and miami?

Hi all..

Would you all mind to share me your opinions or some kind of predictions towards my chances to be admitted at NYU/UPenn/UoCh/NW/Cornell/BU. Im come from South East Asian country. My stats are: 25 yrs old, 4 years of experience as an associate in top tier corporate lawfirm, graduated from the leading uni in my country (no rank, but estimated around top 25% from 200 students), LSAC rates me "above average" ). TOEFL : 104 (R:29 L:28, W: 25 S: 22). No publications, No extraordinary academic achievements.

What do you think?

Dear Bayern,

I'd rather gamble on your admission. perhaps you won't be admitted from all the afore-mentioned unis, but I feel confident you'll have some positive feedback. best of luck!

13243546 -> I would say you are on pretty solid ground, unless you got bad grades in any tax classes; although if you are top 2%, I don't suppose it's possible that you got bad tax grades.
