Should I apply RD or ED to U Chicago? Forum

[kidkasparov123]

I would only apply ED if I didn't have a strong chance if getting in RD. What are your thoughts?

169 LSAT
4.15 CAS GPA
Good softs (ECs, scholarships, etc)

Thanks

You have solid chances RD and ED would be a terrible decision - it won’t help you get in (because the problem in your application is the below-median LSAT, which early decision doesn’t fix) but it would eliminate your chances at scholarship money at UChicago or another T13 (which you’re competitive for).

OP, why are thinking about EDing to UChicago in particular? It seems so random.
