From Law School Predictor:

Consider:
Michigan (38%) -- Rejected
Cornell (44%) -- Reserve/Withdrawn
Georgetown (48%) -- Accepted
Northwestern (50%)-- Waitlisted

Strong Consider:
Minnesota (64%) -- Accepted
Boston University (65%)-- Accepted
George Washington (68%) -- Accepted
Boston College (75%) -- Accepted

Admit:
Iowa (77%) -- Accepted
UNC (83%) -- Accepted

I qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program. Without this, I would have likely chosen to apply (and attend) lesser ranked schools in order to mitigate student debt. I strongly recommend negotiating for scholarships and choosing the school that offers the best mix of low student debt and high employment statistics.

Additional info & updates

For anyone curious about admissions probability, I recommend checking last year's admissions statistic on LSN. Controlling for URM or non-traditional student, the previous cycle's GPA/LSAT similar to mine were incredibility accurate in terms of predicting admit/waitlist/reject, and even with scholarship offers. I recommend using this as a guide for choosing your reach, target, and safety schools.

12/19: On-hold at NW following Early Decision consideration. Not too much of a surprise.

1/13: Invitation for a GULC alumni interview; interview held on 2/7.

1/23: Awarded full in-state tuition scholarship at Iowa.

1/23: Awarded $25,000 per year scholarship at Minnesota.

2/5: Awarded $10,000 per year scholarship to GW.

2/20: Awarded $14,000 per year scholarship to UNC.

3/7: On-hold again at NW. So, not waitlisted or rejected, but also not admitted.

3/12: Awarded $20,000 per year scholarship to Boston University.

3/13: Placed on reserve at Cornell. I'm not going to wait two more months just to find out whether I'm admitted or placed on the official waitlist.

5/15: Placed on the summer wait list on Northwestern.

8/1: Withdrew from Northwestern. I'm already moved to DC and looking forward to GULC.
