Lusak

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?

Lusak

21:05

Probably not.

letsseehowitgoesnow

11:51

then i wouldnt recommend EDing

letsseehowitgoesnow

11:51

unless they have a competitive scholarship

Lusak

2:32

It's Boston College's scholarship option.

Lusak

2:32

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.

Lusak

2:32

Bc is my number 2

SaddestPortlander

15:30

thrilled to see BU not only admitting 175+ apps this wave

CynicalLameFop

14:16

I think BU is easier than BC

unqualifiedking

10:44

unqualifiedking

9:58

BigMacChuck

RightPlant

16:11

unqualifiedking

PunyHealthyCyclops

20:46

Any thoughts on when BU will do their next wave?

TimidPebble

10:04

TimidPebble

10:04

based on that decision date chart

DangerousAllegedElemental

11:16

goofy-goober
