Chances at NU / UC?

Post by BigDonJewelio » Mon Jun 24, 2019 7:40 pm

Hi all -

Currently at a TTT (70s) in Chicago, applied to Northwestern and UChicago.

Stats: 3.84 GPA, Rank 6 (Top 3%), 2 CALI awards, Law Review, Fellowship.

Any idea on my chances at either school? Any advice on giving up a full scholarship to attend one of these schools.

Chances are pretty decent at at least 1 of the 2.

Whether transferring makes sense depends on your goals, obviously. You have a good play at Chicago biglaw in your current situation and not paying tuition is awesome.

Goal is biglaw. Accepted to NU today, still waiting on UC - but I have to respond to NU by Monday. With the excitement I felt about NU acceptance I’m leaning towards paying sticker over staying where I’m at.

I feel like I will open more doors with the more prestigious degree
