Breaking ED agreement Forum

[lawstudentxxx]

for many reasons which I don’t wanna disclose here I don’t know if I will be able to attend the school I EDed. I’ve been told early decision acceptances are very very binding and circulated to all law schools, which puts me in a tough position. If I continued applying to more law schools how badly would that jeopardize my acceptance. :/ I feel like I’m in such a tough position. I of course want very badly to attend the law school I EDed, that is why I confidently early decisioned. The issue is I might not be able to, and I can’t guarantee they’d be understanding of my position.

Is it possible to defer matriculation for a year? Many law schools will allow that if life circumstances arise. Otherwise, you simply attach an addenda explaining your circumstances when you apply to law school down the road. I doubt you will be blackballed if you have a solid story to tell.
