I am hoping that someone currently attending one of the law schools on my list can give me his or her thoughts on what kind of LSAT score I'll need to have a good chance of getting into these schools:
Yale
Harvard
Stanford
Columbia
NYU
Chicago
Berkeley
Georgetown
I just took the oct.5 exam, and I think I scored in the high 160s (but who knows?) i'm a black female with a 3.96 from a state u. I double majored in economics and political science, and finished 2nd in a class of 385. i played college athletics and then played my sport professionally for a little while. now i'm a consultant with a top firm. i'll have strong recs, as well.
any thoughts are appreciated!

Breaking away from the peanut gallery for just a moment and daring to believe that you came here to ask a straightforward question and thereby deserve to receive a straightforward answer, i'll state what's obvious to the more seasoned posters here:
You are in supernaturally great shape to be admitted to any of the schools on your list. Once the LSAT comes in, you can run your numbers through the GPA/LSAT calculator on the lsac website to get hard odds, but what will not be quantified there is that your academic and athletic achievements - and yes, your ethnic background - are going to be huge pluses in your favor.
The one caveat with Yale (I think) even compared to Harvard or Stanford is that they have so many amazingly qualified applicants for a smallish class that no one's a shoo-in. On the other hand, if you're for real, all I can say is "wow." You have choices ahead of you few others can even dream of.
Go get 'em, sister.
