Northwestern ED/ WUSTL JD Offer

个人情况是171+S，T3 soft。但是T3的soft在申请中没有太重点强调，不知道是不是有帮助。
今年据说LSAT通货膨胀的厉害，不过从reddit上的申请结果来看暂时觉得还好，大家要有信心呀。
个人感觉陆本的GPA评级S（相对于AA）对于申请确实是有帮助的。毕竟法学院的录取不只看未来呈现在509 report上的数字，也会关注申请人的学术潜力。如果LSAT和GPA达到了对方的75 percentile，剩下的或许就要重点关注soft和与学校的契合度了。

今年很幸运较早考出了比较理想的LSAT成绩，但是后来LSAC和学信网那边又折腾了很久（学弟学妹们记得早点评估成绩），导致没有更早地提交申请。终于在10月底到11月初陆陆续续提交完所有学校的申请。WUSTL发来了第一个offer，虽然这封录取信是我后来在QQ邮箱的拦截记录里找到然后请求WUSTL重发的（慎用QQ邮箱）。大概又过了两周WUSTL发来了全奖。我爱WUSTL。

当初选择ED西北纯粹是因为给奖多（相对其他的ED项目来说）。没有认真的考虑能被录取，因为据说西北非常偏爱有工作经验的申请者，而楼主又是小本+陆本。西北的Kira Interview是十月底做的。然后中间一直没消息。今天拿到了录取的消息，感觉像梦游一样。
西北的ED boost可能是真的。当初如果申请了RD，反而可能因为没有工作经验而被wl了吧。

整个申请季在论坛上得到了很多前辈的帮助，于是现在来回馈论坛。祝大家都能拿到理想的offer！！

恭喜大佬！
西北的ED可太厉害了，经常T7-T10的这几家感觉都不太收陆本小本的样子，偶尔看见陆本被这几家录取还基本上都是读了美硕的。
另外可以冒昧地问下楼主说的T3 soft是指楼主是我国T3的本科申请人soft水准，还是指楼主soft的水平基本上是HYS的soft水平呀？（因为比较想知道今年Flex分数膨胀的情况下什么样的组合能录取T10）
感谢楼主！

是在reddit上看到的划分. soft分四挡，对应T1/T2/T3/T4 soft。绝大多数申请人都在T3/T4这两档。

Tier 1 (extremely rare, but do occur - think as few as 1-10 nationwide per cycle, probably no more than 100, most or all will be HYSCCN-level applicants; could alter outcomes as much as 5 additional LSAT points):

High decorations for valor in military service (Congressional Medal of Honor, DSC/Navy Cross, Silver Star)

Rhodes scholarship

Started multimillion-dollar company/innovative service that is household name

C-level executive in publicly traded/Fortune 500 company

Professional athlete/college athlete who was a lock for professional except for injury

Widely published author/heavily cited academic

Prior high expertise in field (surgeon who invented technique, etc)

URM: Native American, Alaskan Native (on the coasts; less exclusive near inland reservations)

Tier 2 (rare, but not extraordinary - think a few tens to not much more than 1000 per cycle, mostly T14 level applicants, or leading flagship program on full ride in home state; could alter outcomes as much as 3 additional LSAT points):

Decorated military service (Purple Heart, Bronze Star)

Fulbright/other prestigious scholarship

NCAA athlete in standout position, eg household basketball name, led water polo team to 3 titles, etc

Overcome extraordinary physical/mental handicap (ALS, blind & deaf, etc)

High level (director, etc) position in prior employment

Prior demonstrations of high expertise (patents, etc)

URM: all except Native American/Alaskan Native (placing URM is tricky, because schools have different needs; Native Americans are numerically rarest, so they get a step above, no matter where you place minorities on this scale. Also, Asian is not URM. Such is life.)

Tier 3 (not rare, but not common - a few hundred to a few thousand per cycle, mostly top 50 applicants, will be in the running for scholarships; could alter outcomes as much as 1-2 additional LSAT points):

Commissioned military service

Prestigious undergraduate scholarships and/or research awards

NCAA athlete

Overcame extraordinary adversity (childhood poverty, physical/mental handicap, etc)

Published academic

Peace Corps/Americorps/other public service

Prior employment in legal field or otherwise pertinent area (engineer for IP, etc)

Disadvantaged status: homosexual, first in family to attend college, single working parent, etc.

Tier 4 (common - think thousands per cycle, as almost everyone has at least one. People with these apply to everywhere, including TTTT schools; will not alter outcomes from GPA/LSAT):

Any military service

Legal internships

Congressional internships

President/officer of clubs/frat/etc

School newspaper/yearbook/etc

Honors societies
