Biting the Bullet Early in the Cycle Forum

Hey, all!

Hopefully this will be my last question regarding law school admissions.

I recently received a Dillard scholarship to go to UVA. UVA has always been my ideal school, and I would prefer it over HYS/CCN on a full ride. I want to work in either DC or NYC, doing generic big law.

There's an apartment complex I really want to live at while at UVA, but it fills up basically on December 1st. Is there anything wrong with me biting the bullet, getting a lease, withdrawing my other apps, and putting down a seat deposit?

Thanks for the feedback.

Can someone else back this up, just so there's no doubt?

What could be wrong with that? You've already basically won. Congrats.

Just want to make sure I'm not being foolhardy by forgoing "better" options.

You can always get an apartment and hold off on the seat deposit for another couple of months if you are unsure. Worst case you are probably out a couple hundred deposit/application fee at the apartment if you go elsewhere.

Really though, if UVA is where you want to be, I think you won my friend. Congrats.

It's the school you want to go to, and the price is right. For generic Biglaw, I can think of few better options.

I would probably do this. But it seems like UVA is your dream and for me, nothing beats a full ride (especially one at a good school).

Congrats!

As someone who may well end up at UVA, which one did you find was appealing enough to do this? (Not that I'm even thinking of commuting anywhere before I see the scholarship $, but I wanna know what sort of place in C-ville fills up that quick)

Full ride at UVA? Pop your collar and get out there!

Do it. Congratulations!

If a full at Columbia wouldn't pull you away from UVA, then I see no reason not to withdraw/deposit/get an apartment/etc.

I am not surprised your cycle is ending so quickly and I'm really happy for you!
