How much does binding ED help your chances at Michigan? Forum

[kingrichardx]

Hey everyone,

I'm a 3.55 GPA, 169 LSAT that applied binding ED at Michigan. Obviously I'd have almost no shot at RD but I was wondering if I did myself any real favors by going through the binding option. The LSPredictor puts the chances at like 44% or something like that but I was just wondering if anyone had any information about this sort of thing.

Looking for some news, not expecting any.

I think you're in good shape for Michigan.

I appreciate the links. My question is this though, in general is there any rule about who schools are likely to let in with their binding option? Is it students with LSAT/GPA scores at the desired median and above, splitters, great personal statement and references, etc?

Your only chances at a T14 are Michigan ED and Cornell, so I would do ED to Michigan unless you would consider taking a T20-30 with a scholarship.
