I currently have a 3.45 GPA, 170 LSAT score, I'm a Native American URM, and a Gay male, from the poorest county in NC growing up.

I worked my entire time during college full-time to support myself and I have 7-8 years in the work field as a manager in retail and in banking. I am also a deacon in a church as a member of leadership as well as president of student senate. I graduated from NCSU with a degree in Biology and minor in health (before I decided on law school).

What are my chances of getting into Harvard with my stats?
As a NA? Probably not great. As an aside, why does everyone have this weird dream of attending Harvard? You should be more interested in getting into a good school with a big scholarship.

I am more so concerned with Top14. I was told NA gets a boost just like AA. You didn't really give me much insight...

1. If you want to go to Harvard, that's your damn business.

2. Unfortunately, your GPA is going to be a big issue for HLS. There's a sliiiiim chance you get in. You could get a WL though and who knows what may come from a WL.
