...on what undergrad and grad institutions. But I DO think that a significant increase in your GPA from one program to the next DOES matter and reflects well on your ability to improve yourself. It also depends on what your story is--community service (a real passion about anything, really, that can be demonstrated by way of the personal statement) can go a long way. Despite what everyone says about the Dean and her obsession with rankings, SLS still wants quality people, not just quality academics.

I just wanted to get some feedback on my chances at either of the "Big 3."
I have a 3.5 cum gpa and a 165 on the LSAT.
I worked about 35 hours per week in undergrad.
Letters came from 2 professors and a partner at a major NY firm I worked at during undergrad.
African American Male with a ton of extracurriculas.
What are my chances? Realistically considering the surge in applicants and the low gpa. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Also, if my chances at one of the big three are good, does it make sense to apply to a program early decision to a school ranked slightly lower (i.e. Columbia or Chicago)?
Peace
