So what schools are known to be (outside of the T14) useful for leveraging offers with the T14?

I didn't even consider this. I definitely want to know if multiple applicants were able to get T-14 $$ with an offer from a specific non-T-14

I feel like I've heard of people using UT and Vandy, but I would like to see if there is a consensus..

I used a WUSTL full ride to leverage a hefty T14 offer.

added poll. I felt like Berk had to be its own because of what we've been talking about

[middlebear]

Since Berk hasn't been getting enough love: I'd be thrilled to go there!

Might apply to UVA, but I really don't want to live in Virginia and am otherwise pretty apathetic towards the school.

Otherwise, minus Northwestern, essentially blanketing T14.

No Northwestern? Why not, out of curiosity?

Probably very silly reasons. Part of it is a weird bias leftover from undergrad that isn't rational but colors my thinking about it. Part of it is that there are extra little incentives I keep seeing for other schools for very specific interests I have, and Northwestern doesn't... really have much in my area. If that makes sense, which it probably doesn't.

This might change? I don't know. Logical part of me is saying to pony up and apply, but I'm really just not at all interested in going there. It and UVA would be at the bottom of the hypothetical list, unless there was major bribery.

Not into UVA either. The though of staying there for three years

[blueberrycrumble]

Lol poor Berk...

I need to be in a big city (not personal preference, actual need) and NYC is super fucking expensive, so options are limited. Obviously everyone who's been paying attention knows how much I love Georgetown and DC, but other than that, I'd be pretty happy with Chicago and NU. Shame there's not a t14 I could get into in Boston.

Totally understandable. There is nothing at UVA other than few buildings, and an airport! Ughh

What's with all the berk hate? It's my#1 and I hate the idea of cali, but they have some clinics and student orgs I'm interested in.

UVA has bros, polo, and softball. What else do you need?

Something not in Virginia?

Unrelated: is your avatar the Denver Broncos, or is that just me projecting?

[Fiero85]

Duke/Mich/CORNELL?

wut is this nonsense?

I'll defend the grouping:

All three are easily the least unique of the T14

-Neither splitter friendly nor softs obsessed

-None are in major cities

-None have weird class sizes

-None are the best in their region (UVA for Duke, NYC schools for Cornell, other nearby midwest schools for UMich)

They just don't have that much special for poll differentiation purposes other than being in the T14 in the first place.

Northwestern, GULC, and and the schools above Duke all contribute more to the granularity than the vanilla group of Duke/Mich/Cornell.

Tough call but I totally stand by it.

Lol what would we do without bros.

Osheaga was this weekend (Montreal's version of coachella, not sure how well known it is). There was an invasion of bros and bitties. Girls in crop tops and denim booty shorts around every corner. Lots of confused Americans.

Lots of confused Americans? Haha that made me laugh.

I have no one to worry about when deciding, and I'm still avoiding UVA.

Maybe I'll make a Berk thread for us.. Kinda sad no one will be in there with me though.

I'll be there. I'm definitely applying now due to the apparent lack of competition.

Cali is amazing! There are places in Cali that even Kentuckians can warm up to . Although I could see how the city of Berkeley can turn some people off...

[pdt1765]

So is it smart to take the offer from WUSTL to apply now with fee waiver then they roll the app over for this coming cycle? Or is will the application get lost in their systems or something like that.

For me it's less of the place and more of how far it is from everything else. But I could get used to a warmer climate.
