I have also been accepted to Yale Law.
Go to Harvard!!! Forget Yale, unless you want to be an academic. If you want to become a partner at a top law firm, you can't beat Harvard. Good luck!

Degree GPA: 4.00
LSAC GPA: 4.02
Your numbers are competitive for HYS. Work on crafting a great personal statement and send in a great application.
