I think you are in without the ED. You should be fine.

I've applied to a total of 10 schools and Georgetown is my top choice, not to say that I would mind going somewhere else. I feel like I have a decent shot of getting in, but the past few days I've been in panic mode thinking that I should have done ED to be sure. The prospect of debt isn't thrilling, but I'd rather be at a better school than a lower one with money anyway.
I have a 3.62, and 170 (167 first time). I'm also a Georgetown undergrad.

My questions are, does anyone know if Gtown likes their own undergrads? Does that help me at all?
Should I have done ED? Is there anyway to change that now?

Thanks.
They have the Early Assurance program which lets undergrads with above a 3.8 get in without an LSAT score. My guess is that you get a small bump as a Gtown undergrad.

There are a ton of them here, but who knows if that mean bump or some sort of self selection by the students of the UG. I wouldn't go ED, I think you'll get in.

+1

But you probably won't get much if any $ at Gtown so you can ED there if you really want to be safe.
