Cause I saw your other post saying that was one of the schools you were considering, just being positive =). And no J, you can't ed more than one place UNLESS you ed to one, are denied, and THEN ed to another.GirlInTx wrote:Why is that?Teoeo wrote:In all seriousness, I hope to see you at Gdub in a year.
And if I can get anywhere close to my PT scores on my LSAT in October, then possibly.
If you're referring to my thread about TTTT's then I just want to clarify that I am not considering STCL. I thought it would be an option if it were entirely free, but the only school I will consider outside of the top 30 is U of H because it holds a lot of weight here in Houston. Just curious, how long did it take for you to get an acceptance at GWU and what were your numbers?Teoeo wrote:Cause I saw your other post saying that was one of the schools you were considering, just being positive =).

So can you not withdraw your name after applying ED but before they make a decision? I have solid T2 numbers but have debated taking a chance and applying ED to a few different T1 schools knowing that I am a long shot to even be accepted at one of them let alone more than one.Teoeo wrote:Cause I saw your other post saying that was one of the schools you were considering, just being positive =).

How much does ED really help anyways?
That's my problem. My GPA is low and while my LSAT score will probably offset that for some schools, I don't want to choose one, be denied, and then be too late to get into any other good schools that I otherwise would have had a reasonable chance at. January seems a tad late for ED. I figured December at the latest.Teoeo wrote:

I would say it certainly helps (in relation to their yield). It also shows commitment, I would definitely only ED to a school you are sure about though.
edit: i dont know about that hypothetical... lol

Ah, okay. What an impossible decision to make. I'm guessing some people go ahead and ED to multiple schools anyway.Teoeo wrote:
I didn't ed, thats when i heard back from them, I applied in Nov.
EDing is a pretty minor deal, just apply to a lot of schools non-ed and ED at a school you really like.GirlInTx wrote:Ah, okay. What an impossible decision to make. I'm guessing some people go ahead and ED to multiple schools anyway.Teoeo wrote:

Well, apparently a few here think I have a shot at Georgetown if my LSAT is in line with my PT score and I ED. That might be my top choice.
