You're pretty much at the 25th for GPA and above the 75th for LSAT, so I bet you have a pretty good chance without ED. I'm not sure if they give much money to ED applicants though

hahah thanks achilles! do you know if there's any chance i'd get money without ED as a splitter?

You have a ~70% chance at Columbia, possibly with a small amount of money (~$30k). Personally I'd just do the ED to boost my chances.

where did you get $30k from? columbia doesn't give merit unless it's 50% or full tuition. if OP doesn't meet criteria for either he will be relying solely on need-based aid

to OP: your chances at HYS are slim barring some undisclosed fulbright or URM/military boost, i dont think you need ED to get accepted, but if you are risk averse and want to be in NY, then it's worth considering

thanks for the help!

just a quick question to irie: how do you know for a fact about columbia's merit aid? i feel like i've read that somewhere before but have been hearing differently up till now. so all the $$ on lsn that are 30k or 10k are all need-based?

thanks again, bc whether i decide on ED is pretty much riding on the possibility that i might lose the opportunity for a little bit of cash if i do RD. probably not even applying to HYS :]

anyone else know anything about columbia (ED or money)? need to decide today and its driving me insaneee
