LSAT 171/UGPA 3.2/LSAC GPA 2.9-Northwerstern & other T14s? Forum

171 LSAT on the second take

UGPA is a 3.2 from UC Davis, LSACs GPA calculating guidelines hurt me pretty bad, down to a 2.92 for that.
Pretty sharp upward spike in my grades toward the end of UG (straight As in my final year)

Fairly decent GPA addendum

Out of UG for a year, some pretty decent work experience working with kids with special needs (interested in studying child advocacy/juvenile justice)

Applied pretty late in the cycle (Jan 9) because I was a December LSAT taker, I'm sure that will hurt me a bit

First choice is Northwestern, so any advice on that would be awesome

Also thinking about Penn UVA Michigan Georgetown UCLA thinking about Cornell and a couple T50 safes

What are my chances? Should I wait until next cycle and ED?

Any chance at money for schools like Fordham, GW, WUSTL, Emory?

I know people with those stats who go to NU.

Good to hear. Any idea if they applied ED or regular?

Not sure, but ED will be tougher to get.
