Worth it to send an app to NYU?

At the 25th LSAT and near the 75th GPA. I've sent in most my apps out already, but was wondering if it's worth the $105. Any thoughts?


edit: non-urm, no special softs - average everything

100% send it out. It's a once in a lifetime expense, and it's an applicant's market.

I would try for a fee waiver. Either way, I think it's worth it whether its a top choice or a school for leverage.

I tried to solicit a fee waiver at NYU this cycle and it didn't work even though i'm above both medians.

even so, i would still send in an app.

Apply regardless of the fee waiver. You will likely be able to use an NYU admit to get far, far more than $105 from a lower ranked school in scholarship money if you choose to go that route.

I got accepted to 2/3 CCN last year and I was at their 75th LSAT and 25th GPA. You have a shot. Take it.

Sounds like retake is the best call here

But yea, with that spread, definitely worth applying
