Thank you guys for the advice. I have looked at LSN and there isn’t much info on my numbers. I don’t mind going to another city for school, these two were just ones I’d probably attend if accepted. I am only thinking of EDing Northwestern because of the scholarship.

Congrats on an amazing LSAT score!

Echoing others here, I would just apply RD early in the cycle. While you are a splitter, LSAT seems to be weighed more heavily versus GPA. If you craft a strong application overall, I think you have a great chance of getting into the schools you're interested in.

I was thinking of applying ED to Northwestern because of the potential scholarship. Do you think its worth doing it for that reason? That’s the main issue I am having. I am torn between using ED to raise my chances at UChicago or using it to try to get the ED scholarship at Northwestern.

from my understanding you could get into any school you want with that LSAT score and i'm just gonna say congrats in advance for killin it at life. you'd be doing yourself a disservice by EDing.

I am concerned that my GPA will hold me back. Should I just RD everything then?

Splitter ED strategy

This forum has been very helpful in my prep. I am going into the next cycle as a splitter. My GPA is 3.15 and my LSAT score is a 177. I would like to go to school in Chicago. I am having trouble figuring out what to do with my ED. Is there a point to apply ED to Northwestern since it seems that the whole point of it on their end is to poach people above both their medians? Would EDing UChicago be a waste considering my GPA? I wouldn’t mind being admitted to either school, I just want to maximize my chances.
