Top Law Schools

Just above a 3.7. Class ranks yet to come out, but estimating top ~7-8% at Mid-Tier 2 in Chicago (thinking Depaul, Loyola, Kent). What are my chances at Northwestern? Good softs, Cali Awards, LOR's, etc. No work experience prior to law school. Thanks.

Its going to be tough with no WE. But with your grades and already being in the Chicago market I wouldn't consider it to be throwing away money by applying to NU.

Depending on your softs and/or other compelling reasons why NU, I would guess you at a 25% chance.

Just my $.02

Apply, see what happens. Your numbers are a tad low, but you stand a chance at least.
