3.1/172--Chance at Northwestern ED? Forum

[Mrs Featherbottom]

Hey everyone, I figured I'd join the horde of lurkers posting about their chances here in the wake of the October score release.

Please don't quote me:

172 LSAT
3.10 LSAC gpa
2+ years good WE
Texas resident

I'd love to go to Northwestern, especially with the big discount its ED offers. Do I have any chance at that, or would it be wasting a better ED chance at another school? Also applying to Texas, Georgetown, Vandy, WUSTL, Colorado, SMU, UCLA, USC. From what I can tell, none of these schools really have a significant ED bump, so maybe I should just use my ED on Northwestern even if it's an outside chance.

Thanks for the help!

ED'd with similar numbers (3.22/173) and was held from ED, admitted RD.

Normally to get that ED $ at Northwestern you need to be well above both medians.

Thanks, that makes sense. Even though my chances of getting it are very slim, I might do it anyway since there's no other enticing ED options on my list. Might be a good way to indicate my interest in the school too.

Hi. Sorry to bring up a notification on a older post, but just asking, when you were admitted RD at NU, did you happen to get any $$$$ at all? Or just sticker? I have similar stats and I will be applying this upcoming cycle, so I had to ask!
