NYU: high risk, high reward if admitted. If denied, lost shot at other t14 ED
Michigan: Don't mind summer start, not sure if I'm competitive enough.
Cornell: Offers two EDs so I can apply if rejected at another, but imo it's prob the best shot I have at a t14
If anyone has some additional info they can provide to help me make the decision, it'd be much appreciated
Have you looked at what it is like paying back that much debt? You likely won't receive any scholarship.
Also, look at this applicant from last yea for hope.

i wouldn't risk it with NYU. Between Cornell and Mich., I don't see there being a huge difference gpa/lsat wise. Unless you have strong ties to NY and know you want to stay in NY, I would probably do ED Mich.
That said, with you numbers, I would do ED at Northwestern (if you have really good work experience) or (if you don't have exp.) GTown.

Then ED to Cornell or Northwestern if are okay with doing biglaw. Michigan biglaw stats suck.

Don't ED! You will get into a T-14 with $$$. Apply from NYU on down.

thx for the thread jack after you just make a thread.
*jealous of his 167*
I'm sorry, I'm just so stressed right now (finally ready to submit apps) and I need all the advice I can get.
I will delete it if you want. Probably bad taste to post in your thread, so I'm sorry
