The second thing that is wrong is that you are severely discounting OP's three stellar years and one bad year. The third ting that is wrong is that you and others are severly discounting the strength of applicant's college and your distorted concept that only HYP get a boost. OP does have a legit but not good shot at HYS if OP goes to a respectable school. Even taking the HYS discussion off the table you are still undeniably wrong about the chances of the hypothetical student getting into CCN. In no place have I gone off table since the original post was also about chances at a top 10 where you replied OP should be targeting MVP rather than schools ranked above....WRONGI won't count on any 0L, current student, or lawyer to concede their point so I suppose this exercise is pointless. You do understand the difference between a target and a reach, don't you? I didn't say that the OP shouldn't apply to schools ranked above MVP, I simply said that MVP was the target range. By all means, the OP should apply to higher ranked schools. If I was the OP, I'd personally only apply to CCN as my reaches, MVP as my targets, and the rest of the T-14 as my safety range.Your posts are white noise. Since you've made it clear that you're guessing and haven't actually been through the process, then trying to talk sense to you is like beating one's head into a brick wall. I'd prefer to do other things.

Funny how one semester can kill you. I failed every class one semester because I was all about making money at 19 years old. I was on a scholarship so never thought about withdrawing. It was'nt my money I was losing. Nearly a decade later and it is coming back to haunt me.
That being said, I was planning on peppering basically all the top T-14 schools.
