Enjoy UVA.

Is it a lock, even this late in the game?

I don't know if I'd call it a lock. Your numbers are certainly better than mine (3.2/172), but I'm pretty sure I was at or above their 75th LSAT also, and our GPAs are similarly terrible. I applied ED on 12/19 and was rejected on 12/22. You probably have the edge on softs and WE though, so GL!

Chicago is a waste of money with UVA and GULC ED. You'll probably get in at at least one; if not, then Chicago won't take you.

if you are working and don't mind holding on another year I think uva would likely happen with an ED. I have 3.17 176, waitlisted after applying RD in late January, last year I was accepted ED a day after submitting- I think they liked the past applicant ED, it showed them I wanted UVA and you could do the same.

it's suuuuper late dude. for a (useless) comparison, i applied, like, almost 5 months ago and my cycle is not over yet

Yeah well I am aware that it's late, but there's not much I can do about it at this point. I took the December LSAT bc I needed some study time, and then my apps took a little longer than I thought. The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on my GULC app is that I was waiting to see what happened with UVA, and now I'm having 2nd thoughts about my ED plan.

I've also got Northwestern to consider. Interview scheduled for tomorrow (finally!).

So... what's up?

Yeah, I was surprised.

Honestly, I think it was due to being late. If you apply early next cycle with a solid all-around application, you should get in.

Not happy that you got dinged, but somewhat relieved. Common TLS wisdom was that >3.0 and >171 was an auto admit at UVA with ED. When they dinged me, I thought I had managed to insult them with my PS or something. I guess it's time to strongly consider waiting a cycle and applying to them again on day 1. Maybe even establish VA residency?
