Cornell Early Decision

Post by hopefullawyer2025 » Wed Oct 01, 2025 2:50 pm

Hi! I have a 3.99 from a top 30 undergrad as an out of state student, but I have a 164. I'm wondering what my chances would be at Cornell law if I apply ED? My dream would be T-14 but I can't take the LSAT again this cycle. Does applying ED give me a slightly better chance? First gen law applicant so I have no idea how any of this works. Thank you in advance for any and all help you can give!!!

Chances probably aren't great until you get into the ~167ish range. Why can't you take the LSAT again? Is it that you can't, or that you don't want to?

There's also nothing that says you must attend this cycle. If you have not put in at least 1,000 hours of work on the LSAT and taken it at least 3 times, you have more in the tank. Getting a high LSAT is the easy way to start a legal career compared to trying to grind through a lower-ranked school.
