Help me decide where to ED
3.43 GPA 161 LSAT Mexican-American URM
I'm planning on retaking lsat in DEC, but I want to apply to like 2-3 schools for now and also take advantage of the ED.
So with those numbers, what's the best possible school that I have a shot at getting in with the ED, without completely wasting the ED(obviously not applying to Harvard)

Re: Help me decide where to ED
I think, barring a big increase in your LSAT, you should play the regional game. That is, don't go somewhere you don't have ties/don't want to spend your career.
My knowledge of Californian schools is really poor but since you're only sending out a few apps, I would say: Davis, Hastings, one other you think you'll be able to reach after December.

Legal hiring doesn't work that way usually. Go to a CA school.paulshortys10 wrote:California, but I'll go to the best school that let's me in..minnbills wrote:Where do you want to practice?

Well unless you go to a t-20 or so no?
I'm sure someone from Cornell can do better in an interview than someone from Davis in Cali, no?

Davis, Hasting, UCLA, USC are your best bets.

Re: Help me decide where to ED
what do guys think my chances are at UT if I ED. It seems besides LSAT/GPA they also consider other things such as diversity/overcoming economic hardships/Language proficiency, which all seem to give my personal situation a boostGrizz wrote:I wouldn't suggest sticker at UCLA, even in-state.paulshortys10 wrote:

I wouldn't suggest Texas at sticker either. Also, the deadline is tomorrow.paulshortys10 wrote:what do guys think my chances are at UT if I ED.

Re: Help me decide where to ED
It is nonbinding, however. Not a bad idea, but be prepared to stay in Texas. I wouldnt ED UCLA. Id apply RD to UCLA, USC, Davis etc and see what happens. URM cycles are very unpredictable.I wouldn't suggest Texas at sticker either. Also, the deadline is tomorrow.

UT can probably get back to wherever you're from or have ties to plus DC and NYC if you have high grades, but national reach is largely a myth.tennisking88 wrote:Not necessarily. UT has nationwide reachtop30man wrote:be prepared to stay in Texas

Apply to Cornell (non-binding Early Action) and see what happens. In addition to whatever you're thinking of course.
