Thinking of applying ED to Chicago, as I think it's my only change at a T-6 acceptance. Do you think I even have a shot there? Or should I use my ED somewhere else to help ensure a T-14 acceptance?

Thank you!

Fwiw a friend of mine got into Chicago with stats fairly similar to those, so it's not impossible for you to do so as well. However, I'd recommend applying broadly to the T-14 instead, since your GPA is exceptionally strong.

1. Don't ED anywhere that doesn't guarantee a scholarship. It doesn't increase your chances of admission at most schools, and it only hurts your chances at getting a scholarship.

2. If you think you can get even 2 more points on the LSAT, retake. Your GPA is strong, but a higher LSAT will open up a lot more schools, as well as making you competitive for significant scholarship funding.
