I have a 3.4 and just got my Oct lsat with a 169 and was planning on EDing to UVA. Do I at least have a chance??

Below both medians = no.

Yeah you have a chance. But I don't think it's a very good one.

170-171 seems to be a good cutoff for splitter ED.
Not many with 3.4 169. I know 1 guy got in with 3.35 169 ED.

Wow do you know if he had some extraordinary soft factors? :o

He was probably in state or URM. You have pretty close to no shot if you're not either of those.

how about 164 3.84? I'm retaking in December, and am trying to decide where to ED before then. GW, BU, UVa?

Not sure. It's on LSN, but I agree with Kabuo.
Unless you have a killer PS, LORs, other softs, or somehow the lower number of applicants strongly affects this cycle, you're most likely a WL or a reject. =/
Seems like most 169 3.3-3.5's got WL or rejected.

Good luck on your cycle. You can always try EDing anyway, then retake for next year if things don't work out.

3.84 is below UVA median, so no. Also no on GW and BU EDs. They are competitive (because of full schollys), so it's not a backdoor. 164 is too low.
