I've got a 3.94 out of WashU, and a 171 LSAT, currently finishing my senior year and applying in the next week. These normally seem like pretty safe numbers for Penn but I have a few main concerns.
I had a 166 LSAT before, and some schools like to average. I had just flown home from europe two days prior so I feel like I can write it off as being jet lagged, but still feel like this is going to hold me back in some way
I have a minor weed related citation I received a few years back, but charges were dismissed. Again nothing serious, but it's making me consider playing things safe.
I'm applying rather late in the cycle.
I'm a senior still, with little real work experience (just internships). Plus I'm a Finance major, heard law schools aren't such a huge fan of business majors.
I would prefer Chicago, but just marginally. Given these numbers, should I play it safe and apply ED round 2 to Penn? Or roll the dice and see if I can get into Chicago or Columbia? I've been looking at all the numbers on lawschooladmissions and such, but really hard to get a feel for my particular circumstances.
Thanks guys!

It depends. Are you at all debt adverse?
If so, don't apply ED. You will be totally uncompetitive for scholarships if you do since they don't need to offer you a scholarship to get you to go.
If you don't care at all about money then it is a maybe. Maybe if your parents are paying for law school and you don't care about their finances or they are rich enough it won't make a dent, then applying ED could make sense. It would essentially lock you in at Penn. Of course, you wouldn't get a scholarship there and would give up any shot you had at HYSCCN, but it is an okay outcome if money isn't a factor for some reason. I still would lean against it though.
You only mention Chicago. What about. Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and NYU? And would Michigan, Northwestern, Duke, Virginia, Berkeley, or Cornell with $$$ not be better than Penn at cost?
For a moment, let's say money isn't an issue, and I'm looking to get into a school ranked at Penn or higher. Would you still recommend applying ED? Is it going to hurt me that I am applying from undergrad with no real work experience aside from internships?
