ED chances as a 168/3.88 reapplicant? Forum

[totozjz]

Recent college graduate without full-time work experience, reapplicant.

Thinking about ED for NYU, Michigan, or Northwestern.

Since I applied to NYU and Michigan RD last cycle, will this put me at a disadvantage when I reapply for either of them ED? Does ED significantly increase chances?

Thank you.

ED generally does not increase your chances. Has your LSAT score changed since the last time you applied?

So you've been unemployed since graduating 6 months ago? I would work on changing that ASAP before even thinking about law-school applications. Especially if your numbers haven't changed meanwhile.

Actually I'm a full-time teacher right now in my home country. Yea I know unchanged numbers is a real problem, but it's still okay to apply for those schools I did not apply for last cycle right?

Thanks!

Thanks for your replay Cavalier!

My October score just came out, a 167. And I'm not thinking about a fifth LSAT in the future.
I'm trying to submit all my apps by this week (I submitted in January in the last cycle), with a brand new PS and one updated LOR. I guess this will be of minimal help for reapplication smh.

Oh, that's way better than "no full-time work experience" then. There's nothing wrong with reapplying. Applying early-decision is not likely to change anyone's mind, though.
