3.47/170 - T14 Chances? Forum

[skewlboyq]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I could get chances on T-14 but more specifically the following: UVA, Penn (ED?), Northwestern (ED?), Duke, NYU, and for my "reach" school UChicago.

Here are some stats:

- LSAT: 170 (one take)
- Undergrad GPA: 3.47
- School: "Public Ivy"
- Currently working at a Fortune 50 tech company as a financial analyst in a rotational program. I'm coming up on 2.5 years of experience.
- First Generation College Grad, non-URM

I appreciate any feedback

apply widely
you'll have some t14 offers
but frankly, for the schools you mentioned, a retake would be helpful
esp if you want $$$

nu full ride ed seems unlikely here tbh
though not a lot of data

3.84/172 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.84/171 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.83/171 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.69/172 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.67/172 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.66/171 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.65/172 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.60/173 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.55/174 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.49/170 - Deferred to RD -> WL
3.48/174 - Admit w/ full-ride
3.30/171 - Deferred to RD -> WL -> Admit
3.09/175 - Deferred to RD -> WL -> Admit
2.90/174 - Deferred to RD -> Admit
2.54/173 - Deferred to RD -> WL -> Admit

but listen to me:

plz do not ED
you will lose the ability to negotiate aid (say hello to sticker)
you will lose the ability to consider other schools (what if harvard comes knocking and you get dat need aid)

when i applied ED i was immediately filled with regret and anxiety
every single day until i was admitted i debated withdrawing my app
then i spent the next five months tossing and turning in bed thinking about 300k of debt
this could be your future

should i ED?
plz answer the following qs
-are you a rich trust fund kid
-do you have tuition covered by the military
-are you applying to nu or gw
-are you zealously committed to pi and going to a school w excellent lrap (maaaaaybe)
-do you plan on fleeing the country immediately upon the lapse of your deferment period
if you answered yes to any of these questions, OK APPLY ED!
if not, NO DO NOT APPLY ED

Retake.

As it stands, you're below the GPA medians for all T-14 and at or below the median LSAT for most. It seems likely that you'd get into some T14s but of the schools you listed, your chances don't seem great.

I retook my 3.55/170, did significantly better, and got into UChi with $$.

Didn't realize Penn/UVA's LSAT median was at 169. Thus, you might have a decent shot of getting into UVA/Penn.

Nonetheless, I still think retaking is best. Particularly if getting $ is important.

Also very interested in this thread. I have these exact numbers with NU and UChicago on my list (I have to attend school in Chicago). 2 years work experience in software engineering. Background of adversity helps my application, but obviously not to the same degree as if I were URM.

You will prob get NU but will likely have to retake for UChicago
