So unfortunate I got a 166 on the June lsat and I probably can't retake until December due to tax season/working 70+ hours a week August - October. I would like to know if I stand a chance with my current numbers EDing at NU?
In terms of softs, I have a Masters(3.85 GPA), CPA, and will have 2 years at a Big 4 by the time school starts as well as a few other internships.

Seems like you got a coin flip chance or better from what I see on MyLSN.

Let me know if that works... I just did the last 3 cycles, ED included, non-URM, and 3.8-3.9 GPA.

Thanks! It doesn't look like anyone in that sample EDed to Northwestern but still good to know.
Does anyone else know if they would take an ED applicant below their median LSAT?

It's possible but you're probably better off retaking. Your GPA and work experience might help push you over the edge so it wouldn't hurt to apply.

With a 3.9 GPA mullens is right! A 4 points higher and you could be looking at T6... Don't throw away such a good GPA. I have a 3.9 and I am not stopping short of a 170+ I just don't want to be leaving all that $$$$ on the table.

The truth is I would rather 150K at NU then T-6 at sticker or even partially discounted. I will def retake in December, the question is if I should bother applying ED to northwestern in the meantime. It just sucks that a bubbling error dropped me from 168 to 166...
