While my opinion is simply speculation based upon the research I have done, I would assume you will certainly get in ED and may have had a strong shot RD as well. If it's really where you want to go then ED was surely the correct move. It likely negates you from receiving significant scholarship money, if any at all, but I assume you knew that already.

I think you would have been in RD (since you are at/above medians) but if you really wanted NYU it is a good way to secure an acceptance.

I'd say 75% at NYU RD and 50% at Columbia RD, so ED at either would have been reasonable, with no chance at merit $ anyway.

Those were my exact numbers. I submitted late (Jan 25th-ish) and had my purple envelope three weeks later. The median LSAT has moved up to 172 since then, but I think you've got a very good shot.
