UVA ED or RD Forum

[McDeere]

3.45/170

Can I get into UVA RD or should I ED? I don't want to ED unless I have to...

If you're out-of-state, you should ED. If you're in-state, RD is probably decent odds.

would that also be true if the applicant had those stats and was a URM out-of-state?

I have almost exactly the same stats but my 170 was a retake and I'm in state. Does the retake affect my odds at all?
I love UVa but am too commitment phobic to ED anywhere.

Someone with those numbers who is a genuine URM should be fishing for $$$ all over the T14, so I don't think ED would be wise.

UVa should take the highest score. If your highest LSAT score is 170+ and you're in-state your odds are incredibly good. In-state people fare much better than out-of-state. I'd recommend writing a "Why UVa?" addendum if you have specific reasons you want to go there.
