Agree with all this except NW, almost certainly out there, and won't get off the WL

I agree with everything too, except I would guess out at Northwestern and out at UVA (below both medians).

I don't really understand Michigan's deal -- I believe their LSAT median was 169 last year. Are they more focused on GPA than LSAT? Are their outcomes less predictable than the other t-14s?

True. I think it won't be an outright ding though. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if NU's median drops to 169, in which case OP, with her WE, has a plausible chance getting in off the WL.

Good point, although I read somewhere on TLS that last cycle NW relaxed its WE requirement in order to maintain medians and class size. If that trend continues we may not see a median drop.

I'm no good at guessing, but I got into Georgetown with a 3.55, 167/169, and 3.5 years work experience. The only other school I applied to on your list is Vandy, and I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

You're a tossup for Mich.
