Northwestern ED?

Post by atl21 » Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:37 pm

Hi all!

2 years of work experience, VERY keen to avoid debt because I will want to go into public sector. I'm from Chicago, and would apply to U of C, Northwestern, and Loyola in addition to other T-14s. My LSAT is 166 and my GPA is 3.43. Should I go ED at Northwestern? I'm hoping I could get offered money with my LSAT but definitely want my network to be in Chicago, so I'm thinking it's worth it to ED Northwestern for the 50,000. What do you think my chances are at money at another T-14, or getting more at Northwestern RD?

Unless, you are a URM, it is highly unlikely to get into Northwestern, ED or otherwise, with your current stats. Your best bet is to retake the LSAT until you break 168 and have a shot at Northwestern.

Retake

You probably won't be admitted RD much less get their full tuition ED scholarship. You are below both medians currently so they have no incentive to admit you or give you a scholarship. Same with every other T14

I don't see you getting into any T14s (unless Cornell's median is a 166 now, I'm not sure)

Check out www.mylsn.info for chances

Definitely retake
