i don't have advice for everywhere, but UVA ED would only let you in with a 170+, i guarantee it. michigan ED might be worth a shot bc they're a little more holistic but a 3.0 is a really low GPA. i'd say you're out of T14 with that GPA and i would consider EDing 15-20 if you really want to go somewhere ranked high

I have a 3.1 170+ and secured myself seat at Michigan, GULC, and Cornell to name a few.

You GPA is not terrible, and your LSAT is not terrible. Assuming that you graduated and there is nothing you can do about your GPA anymore the only thing you can control is your LSAT score. I can't say for sure what will happen with regards to T-14, but with 170 I think you can crack T-14.

Are my softs/WE enough to push me over the edge (where I may have already been close) at a few schools? And enough to count as WE in Northwestern's eyes?

lol - steelers or stealers? or stealer?

If people with 2.8-2.9 GPA can get in GULC you can get in GULC or VA or Michigan. The only problem you have is your LSAT. You have to-HAVE TO, increase your LSAT to 170. It's not an option! ED somewhere, and you will be in a good position.

Okay! Chance me the schools I listed with a provisional 170 score (same softs, WE, etc., obviously).

Thanks Miracle. I feel like that's a bit optimistic though.

Are there other schools where I have a 50/50+ shot at with a 170?

Where are you going to ED. For Michigan you might need 174-175 and ED

Virginia- you need to have 170+ LSAT from what I've heard from TLS

GW, Fordham, WUSTL, BU, Illinois, BC-lock! Have a good time!

ED to UVa first, obviously.

Then GULC. After that? Regular decision to all schools (Cornell EA?). Not sure when Georgetown ED responds but Michigan ED whenever I hear back from G'town.

Ok...how about this...chances at $$ outside the t-14?
