Top Law Schools

Hi guys, I have a 169 and a 3.83...top choices are NYU and Columbia. I'm retaking the LSAT in October, and am hoping to bump up my score by a few points, but if I applied with the numbers I have now, do I have any shot at NYU? I should have decent LOR's and a good personal statement. Good softs, but nothing extremely interesting or extraordinary, just a year of work experience and some other volunteer stuff, all tying into the PI field I wanna pursue. What do you think?

You'd probably be a wl->ding at NYU with your current numbers and without the ED. I'd say you have a very good chance if you ED. Not much of a chance at Columbia regardless of ED.

Might as well ED to NYU.

Unless you can bring that GPA up to a 3.9+, you're best off EDing.

ED'ing is your best bet, but you are unlikely to get in.
