Northwestern ED Forum

[MrsHuxtable]

I didn't see this topic discussed anywhere on the URM area of the site, so I thought I'd make my first post on this topic. Please forgive me if this is discussed elsewhere. First I am an AA female who just graduated UG in August 2013 with a 3.5 LSAC GPA. I prematurely took the LSAT in 2012 and scored a sub 150, but after months of studying I'm consistently PT-ing in the low 160's with a goal of eventually getting to the 167+ range. I have pretty decent softs, strong LORs, and have substantial WE. I understand the traditional response has been for URMs to forgo ED apps is favor of RD. However, given that Northwestern is my top choice would an ED app be worth it provided they continue the 50k/yr scholarship for ED admits? Also, would I be a competitive applicant if I did decided to ED? Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank You

Also, please excused any typos as this post was created on an cell phone.

Get a real LSAT score first, this is irrelevant until then.

Understood. I just want to know if even with a great LSAT score EDing to
Northwestern would even be realistic.

With a great LSAT score, sure, it's realistic. But focus on the LSAT now, don't look so many steps ahead.
