Don't see a big diff b/w UVA & Duke honestly. Columbia/NYU would not be as likely to take a 3.3, especially in ED.Curious1 wrote:I think it's not a wise decision to ED to Duke when you could potentially ED to Columbia/NYU, or at least UVA.

This is really stupid. Columbia and NYU have almost identical GPA/LSAT margins. Why on earth would he have a better chance at NYU.Curious1 wrote:Um no.tennisking88 wrote:Don't see a big diff b/w UVA & Duke honestly.

Columbia might be a stretch b/c GPA, but you should ED to NYU, which is easier to get into. If you fail, then RD to UVA and Duke (+the other lower T14).

False. NYU is more splitter forgiving scores above a 173. Look at LSN.This is really stupid. Columbia and NYU have almost identical GPA/LSAT margins. Why on earth would he have a better chance at NYU.
I'm looking at LSN and I see this http://lawschoolnumbers.com/piccolittle/jd, and no one who went ED to NYU with his #s be admitted.top30man wrote:False.

Right because one counterexample proves an entire pattern wrong.tennisking88 wrote:I'm looking at LSN and I see this http://lawschoolnumbers.com/piccolittle/jd, and no one who went ED to NYU with his #s be admitted.top30man wrote:False.

What pattern?

Look at the LSN graphs. There are many more waitlist/rejects in the >175 <3.5 category at Columbia than NYU. Also NYU is bigger, so it automatically has to have more people below their 25th percentile (because that's how percentiles work).What pattern? You have no proof

Also Columbia is a better school, so we like to think it's harder to get in to.

This. And its just a chances thread, NYU has a better chance for OP. Thats all he said.What?
I'm assuming you have a massive NYU-inferiority complex because you go there? It's a fantastic school, and is generally on par with Columbia...but its easier to get into than Columbia. Sorry to burst your bubble.
LOL. If you like Duke more than UVA, do not ED to UVA. They are peer schools and, honestly, a lot of the recent employment data suggests Duke may be doing better. Curiouser goes strictly by the rankings. If Cooley jumped up to the T5, he would attend in a heartbeat because US News told him it was a great school.Curious1 wrote:I think it's not a wise decision to ED to Duke when you could potentially ED to Columbia/NYU, or at least UVA

I think he was saying in terms of biglaw placement. Though I know that may be skewed due to less biglaw firms in the south (ala Vandy).They are peer schools and, honestly, a lot of the recent employment data suggests Duke may be doing better.

I am saying that Duke's BigLaw placement is often times equal or better than UVA's.top30man wrote:I think he was saying in terms of biglaw placement.

Why would he ED to UVA if he likes Duke more? UVA is not really a better school. Also, he has almost no shot at NYU/Columbia with those numbers.Curious1 wrote:I think it's not a wise decision to ED to Duke when you could potentially ED to Columbia/NYU, or at least UVA.

My post sums up who Curiouser is and his lack of knowing things beyond the number next to a school in the rankings.lawyerwannabe wrote: Curiouser goes strictly by the rankings. If Cooley jumped up to the T5, he would attend in a heartbeat because US News told him it was a great school.
Really? I thought NYU/CLS's GPA floor was about a 3.3.Bildungsroman wrote:Why would he ED to UVA if he likes Duke more? UVA is not really a better school.

UGH because ED DOES NOT HELP SPLITTERS.Curious1 wrote:Really? I thought NYU/CLS's GPA floor was about a 3.3.Bildungsroman wrote:Why would he ED to UVA if he likes Duke more?

And even if Duke is basically the same as UVA it still makes no sense to ED to either, because he has the numbers to RD to both. So why not ED to a school he has a slim chance of getting into RD like NYU or Columbia?
Calm down child.UGH because ED DOES NOT HELP SPLITTERS.
