Is the move to go ED for your second choice if your first is a reach (at median GPA, under 25th LSAT by 2 pts)
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:27
would you go to the place you want to ED to if they gave you no scholarship?
21:05
Probably not.
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:51
then i wouldnt recommend EDing
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:51
unless they have a competitive scholarship
2:32
It's Boston College's scholarship option.

Basically BU is my number 1 but my stats are favored better for BC than BU and I'd really prefer to be in Boston.
2:32
Bc is my number 2
SaddestPortlander
15:30

I think BU is easier than BC
