Early Admission NYU

Hey everybody! So here's my situation.

I have a 3.33 GPA (ugh) and I'm 3 years out of school. Applying for next fall so it'll be 4 years by then. Have a 165 on the LSAT but am retaking in a couple weeks and am confident that I'll do better - PTing in the low 170s, I feel there's a shot at a high score too.

Last cycle, I did ED to Emory but decided to back out. They offered me 80k in scholarships as well - a good deal but I didn't feel great about the whole thing, so I decided to wait another year, move to Nepal to do humanitarian stuff, and then attend next year.

I should also say, I have a pretty solid resume when it comes to volunteer experience/non-profit work - I want to do public interest law - and have been rebuilding homes in New Orleans post-Katrina for the past 3 years with a non-profit. I've also worked for several other non-profits, including the ACLU of Tennessee and the Family Equality Council.

Here is the thing though - I don't really want to be strapped to 200k+ in debt to have a public interest career. However, there is LRAP so I could have it all forgiven in 10 years, which is great. I would also like to attend school in the Northeast (girlfriend, family, etc.). The schools I'm thinking are NYU (top choice), Georgetown, and some others that are a bit of a reach, and also schools I'm fairly confident I'll get into w/ money - Emory, UGA, GW.

Should I do ED to NYU? Does it make a difference? If I were to get in, would that sacrifice any scholarship offer I'd get? Are my numbers so low that scholarships are impossible anyway? Say I get a 172 on the LSAT this time around. Would the advice be different?

Thanks, dudes.

I would like to say that I went -1 on this section due to this silly question. I just intensely way overthought it and convinced myself that A was saying something about how meteorologists couldn't have known the climate factors before 1953 so their insistence that they were unchanged had to be irrelevant. Just wanted to drop a note to say if anyone else found themselves missing this supposedly insanely easy question, you're not the only one! :)

Hey everybody - just joined 7sage a few weeks ago and have been absolutely loving the curriculum. I took the LSAT last January and prepared by using Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer (great book) and scored a 165 which I'm proud of, but want to really bust into a significantly higher score.

Anyways, I'm just wondering if there are people out there who have done so on the actual test by using 7sage. I know there are, and I thought there might be a thread dedicated to people celebrating their success - I just haven't been able to find it! If so, someone please kindly direct me to the right place. :) I'm just looking for some real-life motivation!
