Very, very good. No Northwestern application?

If Gtown doesn't work out (I believe it will though) you can always ED at UVA too!

I should have probably given in an app to UVA as well, since they are apparently a more splitter-friendly school..

Haha, posted my comment on UVA, and then saw your comment lol..

Fairly confused at your thought process here. At the very least, you should be applying to NU, UVA ED, Cornell, and GULC. Is there something you really love about GULC?

Disagree, if only because of the timing. I also applied in early january and was waitlisted everywhere, including GULC, with a 171 / 3.8 LSDAS. Also 3.4 is a little low GPA wise. Especially since Georgetown is cutting its class size.

^ were you ED though? It's binding so it may increase OP's chances of admission


EDIT: Although I do agree that it's pretty late in the cycle so it will hinder OP's chances regardless

Well, since I am already applying late in the cycle, and I guess I dont absolutely have to start law school next year (although I would like to) I figured for now I would just apply to places that I really want to go to...Did ED at GULC since I thought I would have the best chance there from my choices, and to get a little boost. I was just saying UVA because I've heard its more splitter-friendly, and I dont think I would mind going there maybe..

Did you apply in last year's cycle, presumably RD?? I'm not sure how much ED helps me though..Where did you hear its cutting class size?

I was 09-10 cycle. Cutting the class size was in our school newspaper, direct from the Dean.

Edit: I now go to GULC.

These were my exact numbers. I've gotten into UVA and Georgetown already (non-ED). My softs were good, but you can certainly get in with those numbers.

When did you apply to Gtown?? I'm worried that because I'm applying so late in the cycle though I'm most likely going to get waitlisted, deferred, etc...Maybe the ED will help a little. Thanks for your encouraging words though!

I was early, sent both in on November 14 though Georgetown held mine at my request until the middle of December. I heard back from both within about a month and a half. It certainly can't hurt to apply and I know people who have about our numbers who have gotten in applying much later.

So i randomly just now tried to get into the admitted students website, and it emailed me a username and password! im taking this as a pretty good sign that ive been accepted??

I think so? I know I got sent a letter (which led to much jumping and going "yes yes yes yes yes!") and the email came later for me.

Yes, you have been accepted. Takes 4 days until you can log in. Congratulations!
