Top Law Schools

I took about two years off after my first terrible semester at undergrad (hence the UGPA), but essentially still K-JD, as my work experience was relatively unrelated and menial.

UGPA: 3.2 with upward trend (1.0 semester from my first academic institution)
Major: Poli Sci
LSAT: 164 (first take, with highest PT being 167)
URM: Puerto Rican
Diversity: Gay male

Softs: Scholar at v10-firm-sponsored pre-law program, and fellow at a capitol hill non-profit w/ hill internship experience. 1-year coordinator for student LGBT org, 2-year captain of the mock trial team, 2-year coordinator (though de facto Prez) for both an honor's club, and a college chapter of a humanitarian org (heavy on volunteer work). Studied abroad in Europe, honored at a various conferences, have a couple awards.

I am planning on retaking in October, but wonder if I should give this cycle a shot. I'm hopeful for something t20, but the $$$ offer is really the ultimate deciding factor. Strong NYC regionals are also in play (aka Fordham), though I'm not counting on a nice fin. aid. package. Numbers on mylsn are scattered.

ED at NU would be a dream come true, as it seems like the potential best offer (rank vs. $).

Any number twins? Projections? Should I apply?

Thanks!

If you want ED at NU you need to re-take and get a 170ish or above most likely
Gotta be at/above their 75th LSAT since your below their 25th GPA
You can definitely apply this cycle after taking in Oct. as long as you get your apps in before thanksgiving you should be fine
