chi not likely
less than a coinflip at penn, they're pretty gpa focused (ed seems to help with lower gpas at penn, but don't do it unless you're rich)
in at gulc

Although I do think that at Chicago ED actually does give you a boost, so that might be your best shot, if you absolutely must go there and don't care about mountains of debt. You could retake to give yourself a slightly better shot.

TFA is a good soft.
Don't ED Chicago.

OP, play around with MyLSN.
I would apply broadly from Chicago on down (you can skip Berk if you wish). Unfortunately, Chicago loves their high GPA's but you may catch a lucky break.

also, if you underperformed the first time around, not a bad idea to retake
worth a shot

don't worry about the possibility of scoring lower
you're out at hys so it won't matter

Thanks all. Does it make any difference that I was accepted to Chicago as an undergrad and my dad is an alum?

Def not rich and certainly not trying to pay sticker. Any chance of $$ at Georgetown?

Not really. Legacy isn't a big consideration in law school.

Georgetown is very stingy with money. You will get better offers from schools higher up than Georgetown.

does your dad give a lot of money to the school?
if not, no on both

gulc is pretty stingy
i wouldn't hold my breath on $$, but it's possible
you'll have better shot of getting money out of nu i think

two point boost on the lsat and you have a shot at everything except hys + chi + boalt

Again, thanks for the replies.

Last question --- which school(s) in the top 25 or so would you expect someone with my stats to receive the most $$ from?

03152016 · Post by **03152016** » Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:46 pm

i think you'll get $$ from ut/vandy
$$/$$$ from minn/wustl

A retake would probably help with Chicago. But you're also probably better off going somewhere else that will likely give you more $ anyway.

Thanks all! I took the LSAT again this past weekend so we'll see if that makes any difference.
