Hi! For background I'm applying as a 3.3/170/URM, with over 2 years of WE and currently working as a paralegal. I'm a bit confused as to what schools are realistic, reaches, and too far of a reach to be worth applying.

I went to a top 3 undergrad, had an "interesting" major in music composition, and I had a medical reason for my low GPA but I've heard conflicting info about to what degree those things matter, if at all. I have written a GPA addendum though. I have good rec letters from professors and my current employer, and I'm working on putting everything I can into my PS/optional essays.

I took the LSAT again in September and I'm hoping for as high of a score as I can to balance out the GPA, but until that score comes out what would you say my odds are? Would lower half of t14 be out of reach if I'm not able to get past 170?
