Re: ED Help!!!
UVa right now, send another ED if UVa doesn't pan out in 15 days.

Re: ED Help!!!
What's your preference list of T14s? You've got a shot at Penn, Virginia, Northwestern, Cornell, and Georgetown.

Re: ED Help!!!
With that 170 you could probably recieve an acceptance from UVA in the next 15 days, something to think about

Re: ED Help!!!
With ED, you're a lock at UVA and, with work experience, a lock at Northwestern. Everything else is a little iffy.

Re: ED Help!!!
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. Is UVa really that much easier to get into under ED than Georgetown and the other 7-14, or is the big advantage the 15-day turn around time?

Re: ED Help!!!
It is easier for splitters and the 15 day turn around allows you to double-dip your ED's. If you'd rather do UPenn then it's tougher, but I would definitely take UVA over GULC every day of the week.CaliMizzou wrote:Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.

Re: ED Help!!!
I didn't know about their splitter-friendliness and UVa > Georgetown does seem to be the general consensus. I know I'd have my work cut out for me at uPenn. It sounds like a good way to go might be to try UVa and then if that doesn't work out hail mary to uPenn.

Re: ED Help!!!
correct me here if I am wrong, but OP numbers are below both UVA medians, so his splitter status may not help. Although, like bk 187 said, the 15 day turn around is awesome.bk187 wrote:It is easier for splitters and the 15 day turn around allows you to double-dip your ED's.

Re: ED Help!!!
oh, I might have looked at the old data, which was 171.

Re: ED Help!!!
Given your preferences, you should first apply to Georgetown ED, which guarantees a reply within 3 weeks. They're open to taking low-GPA splitters with a 170 LSAT. If that doesn't work, then apply to Penn ED - they took 3.37/170, 3.21/171, 3.45/171, and 3.46/171 applicants last year, so you also have a reasonable shot there. You should get a reply by about December 9-10 based on last year's decision dates, so if that still doesn't pan out, then ED to UVA and get a reply within 15 days. This strategy ensures that you'll always be EDing at your top choice school.CaliMizzou wrote:Georgetown and Penn are probably tied at the top of the list. UVa closely follows and then Cornell. I don't really have any work experience so I'm guessing Northwestern is out of the question.

Re: ED Help!!!
Ha! I'm glad someone went there. I saw everyone giving legit answers so I thought I'd keep it classy... but c'mon. ED help? Talk to your doctor about Cialis. Because you never know when the moment might hit.romothesavior wrote:I don't feel qualified to give help with your ED. Try going here
...To OP: This is really a personal decision. If Penn is your top choice, go with Penn. I wanna say UVA took some late EDs last cycle, so my gut feeling is that they'll still take you in December if Penn turns you down.
