Decent. U. Chi. has a smaller class though so it may be harder to get in with low numbers than NYU.thedude221 wrote:Chances?
But if you have your heart set on U. Chi you should go for it.
Searched LSN for you:
In with similar numbers to you no ED:
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/kb84 (she got $140,000 to NYU, which leads me to believe she must have unbelievable softs; non-urm)

http://lawschoolnumbers.com/CJCregg
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/EigenvalueA

ED'd and got in with similar numbers:
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/gotmilk (a decently lower GPA than you too)
I had to sift through a numbers of rejections, but people get in there with your numbers, so an ED can only help. It boosts you from a longshot to a somewhat decent shot i'd guestimate.

If you have any types of softs and a strong UG school, I give you a 75% of being accepted ED.
If you do not have the above, I still give you above a 50% chance of being accepted ED.
Good luck!!

From checking out LSN, I would say these are a bit high. I would bump each category down a good 25%. 169 is 2 below Chicago's median, at their 25th.rklafehn wrote:If you have any types of softs and a strong UG school, I give you a 75% of being accepted ED.

I have a double major and should get really good recommendations, other than that my softs are non-existant but I have a legitimate reason for that which I may mentioned in my personal statement.If you have any types of softs and a strong UG school, I give you a 75% of being accepted ED.

I looked at LawSchoolPredictor has OP at 60% w/o ED and 69%+ with ED (not an exact number but it goes from a "consider" to a "not consider".
However, Knock is probably right because I checked LSN (I know this is self-selected) with LSAT of 169 and GPA above 3.9 and only about a third of them were admitted (none of them EDed though).
While these websites are not perfect, my percentages may have been slightly optimistic. With this new information I agree with Knock.
