need advice
Could use some advice: I'm about to apply ED to Penn and UVA is my second choice. Am I better off waiting to hear back from Penn and if waitlisted/rejected submitting an ED to UVA? or just applying ASAP to UVA regular decision. I know the earlier in the cycle you get an application in the better...

Re: need advice
That's a tough question, but I would opt for submitting both now. Penn might not get back to you until December, and UVA is already sending out RD acceptances

Re: need advice
You can apply ED to either, and apply RD to the other. However, If you are accepted ED, your choices are " go there or go nowhere". So only ED to a school you know for sure you will go if they accept you. In this case, you aren't sure, so I would not apply ED to either of them ( just apply RD and do it today. Its still very early in the cycle, so I would not worry about that.

Re: need advice
I would consider not EDing unless there's a specific reason for Penn or UVA. I would rather go to any of the lower T14 with $$ (except GULC), and you stand to potentially get money from Michigan, NU, Virginia or Cornell, at the very least.

Re: need advice
Enough money may make it worth it. Based on employment data, there's enough of a placement gap that it may not make sense.sjgonzalez3 wrote:Why not GULC?

Ah, I see. Thanks!
