Which schools love early applicants most?

Post by Veronica2015 » Tue Sep 30, 2014 8:43 am

I'm an international applicant seeking for some advice about what lower T14 schools to apply to at present. LSAC gave me a "Superior" rating. Took the LSAT in June and got a 168. I'm retaking in December but want to turn in some applications in October.

I understand it's always better to apply early, but I don't want to leave a negative first impression at reaching schools. I think NYU is nice to late applicants, so I feel safe to apply to them after I get my December score. How about other lower T14 schools (from Berkeley to Georgetown)? How much benefit I get by applying in October comparing to applying in December with a higher score?

don't you think the strongest candidates are also the most likely to submit their applications early?

No. I'm obviously this cycle's best applicant and I haven't submitted, so QED.
