Do I have a chance at any T14 schools? I wanted to apply ED to Northwestern for a chance at the scholarship they offer, but I don't think I'll have a chance after speaking with a law school application consultant. Where should I ED at to give me my best chances at being accepted? I really want to attend a T12 school but now I don't think I can with my #s.

**After some feedback, do I have any chances of getting into these schools?

ED at UT Austin
UCLA
Georgetown
Vandy
USC
Notre Dame
Emory
Arizona State

Apply, but its not a guarantee. If you don't get an offer you deem as worthy then retake and reapply.

I don't think any of the responses here will differ from the one's you're getting in the "What are my chances? " forum
