Re: T60- Good idea to stay?
Did you apply EA? Aka get the acceptances before spring grades came in? How much of a drop? Just curious. PM if want to keep private. Additionally I'm a rising 2L at GW so I can help answer questions.Anonymous User wrote:Hey, K-JD here. As I mentioned, my rank dropped a lot. Otherwise, I never would have stood a chance.

Re: T60- Good idea to stay?
I honestly think this is one big troll. Let's say OP WAS accepted in EA and was in top 15% . If they're now in the top 50% then they would have finished at least 10 percentiles BELOW median in the spring. How do you do so poorly after doing well?

Dropped .03 (acceptances before grades). Rank cutoffs killed me.TheNextAmendment wrote: Did you apply EA? Aka get the acceptances before spring grades came in? How much of a drop? Just curious. PM if want to keep private. Additionally I'm a rising 2L at GW so I can help answer questions.
Just ran the numbers again. Looks like it'd be an extra 30K in loans for GW/GULC.

As someone transferring out of WUSTL because of they're tenuous relationship to either coast, I wouldn't suggest moving farther away from your target market just because of "T20" status.

Re: T60- Good idea to stay?
Thanks, that's really helpful. I was struggling to justify moving to MO for two years. My debt would be lower, but I would have a harder time getting a job.MagicMike80 wrote:As someone transferring out of WUSTL because of they're tenuous relationship to either coast, I wouldn't suggest moving farther away from your target market just because of "T20" status.

They were clearly using top 50% broadly - later they said they went from top 25% to just outside top 1/3.CounselorNebby wrote:I honestly think this is one big troll.

Re: T60- Good idea to stay?
I'll try to clarify. My school cuts off at 25, 33, 50%. I was technically top 33% first semester (just missed top 25%). Second semester I was technically top 50% (just missed top 33%). I was never top 25%.A.
