LSAT's definitely aren't considered, they don't even ask for that stuff. The most important thing are grades and recs, lawschool grade especially. If you have some work experience, I would play that up--as it shows maturity and I think the schools like that. As for the GPA stuff, I've been told that a 1 is like a 3.6 up, a 2.1 is like 3.0 to 3.6, and a 2.2 is below 3.0. That's a general translation though, you could always call the schools and ask, because I think each school has it's own translated system. I think it helps that you are in an ivy, but I don't think it means that someone not in a school as highly ranked has less of a chance if he or she has the same grades. And take it from me....apply as early as you can! The later it gets, the less spots the schools have. Good luck! :)
