LawSchool-CA

22:55

AH ok sooo i had the same fear when i was tryna decide. lsac website sucks but no you can delete an app you "started" (like clicked into ED) and then do RD. at least i did. maybe confirm on reddit or something but yeah

gtown: An optional response is another way for the Admissions Committee to get to know you. If you wish, we encourage you to submit a 250-word statement or one minute video, as applicable, for any of the following: 1. What’s the best (or worst) piece of advice you ever received? 2. If you could “uninvent” one thing, what would it be? 3. Tell us about a moment in your life that you regret. 4. Describe your perfect day. 5. Share a top ten list with us.

4.0 / 178 but KJD, what’re the chances I’ll get into Duke or Harvard or Yale?

KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

23:30

KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

23:30

im this close to not applying to Harvard for the sheer fact that I don't want to fix my essays to fit their prompt

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
