I think you're a lock. To put it kindly, my guess is the other posters are a bit jealous about your qualifications.

i 'm sure you are in.

I also think you are in. Your chances are pretty good for NYU and GW, not sure about Columbia as they seem to prefer students with foreign law degrees.

I agree! You are in!
Why don't you also apply to Georgetown? It is very well ranked in International Law (4th), and, if you want to be in Washington, it would be an alternative to GW (which I believe is better in IP). I believe you still have time to do that, check in their website.
Good luck!

I don't think it's jealousy, it's just that people are sick of reading hundreds of threads of people asking for fortune telling and other predictions when they themselves know that their resume is good (and perhaps love using their bragging rights).

Not my intent at all to "brag." I'm just like everybody else here, waiting to here back after months of nothing.
I have been out of school for 3 years, and simply have no idea where I rank versus others.

I think the last post is instructive. In my view, your chances of being admitted turn primarily on your class ranking. The 3.4 GPA is less important, as a raw number, than your ranking is. If you rank in the top 15, you probably have a very good shot given the other aspects of your resume highlighted above. Below that, it's tough to say; above that, and your odds improve markedly.
That ranking should be the primary academic criteria is only logical: how can a bare 3.4 mean anything when a school has a large pool of international applicants? A 3.4 at one institution may put you in the top half, wheras at others it puts you in the top 10.
