Can I get into Yale or Georgetown?

Do I stand a chance at Harvard law or yale law? What about stanford and georgetown?

• I am currently a senior in college. I attended DePaul University my first two years of college and now I am at UCLA (junior transfer). I have a GPA of 3.86 and LSAT of 175. I desire a career in government, and I have been very politically active both in college as well as in high school. I am the national student director of an international advocacy non profit based in DC and lead a network of 20,000 students from across the globe for action against crimes against humanity. I have held this position for a year so far. (I worked my way up from the bottom to attain this position. I have been involved with the organization since junior year of high school where I formed a chapter at my high school and was club president for two years. I also founded chapters at my colleges. I have interned at the US State department in Washington, as well as Senator Kerry's office and the Chicago council for global affairs. I have taken the most advanced courses offered in my major even as a freshman. Also, since my job is based in DC, I am flown out there often to work in the office and meet with advisors in the white house. (that is not a joke) When I am back in LA, I meet locally with my senators once a month (mostly the staffers though) to lobby towards effective legislation. I have also overcome many significant obstacles in my life to get where I am today. I have excellent recommendations as well from two of my favorite professors of political science and economics. I am also half black. Do I stand a good shot at these schools? (I already applied to Harvard. Just waiting the decision. Its my top choice) What about Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, UCLA, NYU? thank you so much!

• Answer:

  You seem like a very bright individual with a good head on his or her shoulders. You are very accomplished as well. As class president at my University and top of my graduating class in high school, I must say I am impressed by you. I would say you have a chance of getting into any school you would desire to attend. GOOD LUCK oh and um I am only a Freshman in college NOW but I desire to attend Law school one day as well.
