What happens when you withdraw and reapply?
If you were admitted, would schools hold that against you when you reapply the next cycle?

Re: What happens when you withdraw and reapply?
Well they did accept you once, so obviously they liked what they saw. However, when you reapply I would explain very clearly why you withdrew the first time (and this should be a very valid reason), and reassure the school that you fully intend to enroll if accepted again. The school is worried about its percentage of accepted students who enroll going down.

I've done this at quite a few schools this year (disclaimer: I have a shiny new LSAT score) and it hasn't made a difference at all.niederbomb wrote:If you were admitted, would schools hold that against you when you reapply the next cycle?

Is BU one the schools you did this at? Because that's what I did this last cycle/this cycle, I too have a shiny new LSAT score, I got into BU last cycle, and like you, I've been under review for a fucking eternity.akili wrote:I've done this at quite a few schools this year (disclaimer: I have a shiny new LSAT score) and it hasn't made a difference at all.niederbomb wrote:If you were admitted, would schools hold that against you when you reapply the next cycle?
Maybe BU holds it against people? :-/

Nope, I didn't have a prayer at BU last year. I AM a little sick of being under review though!SilverE2 wrote:Is BU one the schools you did this at?
