3.35 GPA 175 LAST NU ED chances Forum

[Sparkymilarky]

I had a rough first couple years of UG. Finishing with a 3.3.

My final year I got 4.0 in all courses and as mentioned I got a 175 on lsat. I retook a few courses foolishly thinking it would replace the bad grade but the bad marks get added in. Without them id have a 3.7.

By time of application I'd of had almost a year of work experience as a legal assistant and have 3 years experience working as an RA in undergrad

I've no interest in law school unless it's T14 and if I get at least 50k. I want to ask you fine people what I can expect from the T14, especially the NU ED with its 150k. Mylsn doesn't have much info on my stats

Thank you in advance for your help. It's been driving me crazy

Just apply and find out. It will not be a waste of an application fee.

That's true but I'm worried about wasting an ED or getting held then accepted with 0 scholarship. Just want a rough idea of what to expect

Had similar numbers to yours (slightly lower gpa, slightly higher LSAT) and applied three years ago. Didn't get ED but got accepted with about a 1/3 scholarship. Also I had below average softs.

[Sparkymilarky]

Is it worth applying ED still then? If they refuse to grant the 150k do they just roll you to regular?

Thank you

Are you applying this cycle or next cycle, because you're too late to apply ED to Northwestern this year. JSYK

[Sparkymilarky]

Next cycle.

I just want to get in at NU with at least 50k scholarship

Next cycle.

I think you almost certainly will with those numbers. Make sure to apply widely and use higher acceptance and lower big schollys to your advantage. And early.

Doubt you'll get the 150k at NU, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't negotiate at least a 50k scholly. Make sure to apply widely with quality applications for maximum leverage.

Thank you lads.

Just calculated my GPA again and I actually have a 3.45 instead of a 3.3. Don't suppose that could get me that 150k?
