Top Law Schools

Wanted to know just based on those numbers what my chances are at the following schools:

Alabama
Georgia
SMU
Houston
North Carolina


My top choices are Alabama and Georgia because I have close family in the area. Would applying ED to those schools help my case?

Pretty late response but you should be in with money at SMU (from my experience this cycle)

From my experience with a 163, 3.3, you should be in at Georgia with at least in-state tuition and in at SMU and Houston with a 25%-50% scholarship. Alabama might waitlist you, and I'm not sure about NC. You would get good offers to the Arizona schools and the mid-range midwest schools as well.

Edit: Don't apply ED. Georgia responded in less than a week anyway last cycle.

I have a 164 and 3.71 and got an answer from Georgia within a week of my application going complete. I was also offered scholarship money.

If I may ask, how much money? Their sticker price is already pretty ridiculous haha.

My GPA is obviously quite a bit lower than yours though. Does Georgia value LSAT much more than other schools?

We have very similar numbers; they gave me 24k

I appreciate the responses, but may I ask just one more question? How much do you think Baylor would offer? It may be a bad assumption, but I'm guessing you also sent an App to Baylor just to see what they offered?

I did exactly that. Baylor offered me 30k, which I thought was pretty low. I go to Baylor currently and know of students with worse numbers that got full rides.

Forgive me - I didn't exactly answer your question. I expect you'll get 30k or more. Baylor is trying very hard to become more diverse, so if you can highlight any qualities that make you a diverse applicant, it may help you financially.
