hi guys, I am a rising junior and am interested in applying ED to University of Chicago. i really like the school and financial aid isn't high up on my list and i really want to go there. from my research on these forums, it seems that advice given to ED chances at schools is: be within the 25-75 percentile range for either the GPA/LSAT and above the 75th percentile for either the GPA/LSAT. i've always heard that Chicago places more value on the LSAT than on the GPA (not sure how accurate this is??); so I guess I am asking if this idea of ED chances can be applied to Chicago as well?

Don't consider ED'ing until you have a gpa and LSAT score in hand.

This.

And then an ED is warranted when it gives you a noticable boost (as judged by http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com as well as http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com ) it is your top choice, and you are okay with laying sticker to go.
