You should get UVA if you apply early decision early in the cycle (and you're not terrible debt-averse).

Thank you.

You're probably in at all of these schools, agree with the previous post, you should ED to UVA.

+1. And blanket the T7-14 just for kicks. You'll probably get a few biting.

Depending on your career goals you should apply to Northwestern.

I dunno, with what I assume is an interest in IP id go GW ED, should be pretty much a slam dunk for free tuition at a school with IP cred

don't ED to GW, you have a chance at much better schools.

It's a judgement call. GW for free vs. t14 sticker doesn't have a right answer. That said, I doubt GW for free is an option. I believe for the ED scholarship you need to be above both medians. I think 3.8/167 types are the one's who get those awards.
