if you break 170, you won't need to ED. Keep the GPA and you'll most likely be in at those schools. get that lsat a bit over 170 and you'll have no problems.

That's turning out harder than expected with a serious bout of senioritis.

You really think with a 170/3.8 gpa one of MVP will bite? Preferably VP?

I might have a year of insignificant employment or just some weak volunteer work also if I can't find a job.

Yeah, assuming you put together a solid application. If you were going to ED with those numbers, I'd do it at CCN. But don't shoot for the 170. 175 baby!
