Re: Do I have a shot next year at Columbia ED?
Your chances at Columbia aren't great. Looks like most people with similar numbers were waitlisted there. So a few things:
1. Retake the LSAT. If you're applying next year, bumping up even one or two points will be a massive boost for your application.
2. Your softs probably aren't as strong as you think they are. Don't rely on them to overcome your numbers.
3. Stop focusing on Columbia to the exclusion of all other schools.
4. Don't ED anywhere that doesn't include a guaranteed scholarship. It won't increase your chances of admission, but it will dramatically increase your chances of not getting any money.
