Do I have a good shot?

[Valamar]

Limited sample size, but the one guy who applied to NU with your stats on mylsn got in with a 150k scholly. So I'd say you're looking pretty good.

[Mullens]

Yes, you have a pretty good shot. There were several people who got it with similar or slightly worse numbers last year.

Thank you!

disclaimer: limited sample
i think people get too optimistic about their chances at nu ed because it's talked about so much on tls
they can't give $150k to every below median gpa applicant who touches the lsat 75th
you have a good shot in the sense that it's possible
