ED in January?
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2012 3:34 am
I see some schools are now allowing early decision applications to be submitted as late as January, so the December LSAT still is eligible. Is that a sign that taking the LSAT in December won't sentence me to a life living in an igloo? Based on my board browsing, the late LSAT seems more damaging financially (for regular decision) than to your admissions chances (one of my friends got into Harvard after taking the LSAT in December, and I'm sure you have much more anecdotal evidence than I do). Harvard and Yale do not do merit scholarships, anyway, so the goal is to get in just to get in, right? And I see on TLS that rolling admissions is not even a factor for Yale?
Also, as an aside, what about the UVA early decision? There is no deadline for that? How late is too late? Again, my internet is brutally slow for my board browsing. I'm about 99 percent sure I'm taking the LSAT in December, and have full-time work and realize that if it's a disaster, I can wait another year. I did not stay on pace during the short Alaska summer, but pretty soon it will be monsoon season. I have a 3.9 GPA and five years' work experience, so it all comes down to the LSAT for me. Sorry, I didn't expect to lump in so many questions in one thread.
