Thinking about ED (binding) to Ohio State/UIUC/IU-B
162/3 non-urm
would this be a smart decision and do I have a chance
It would be worth doing for UIUC and IU-B if you’re willing to pay sticker. You never know where the UIUC ranking is going to go or how they will adjust admissions this year because of it, but it would definitely give you a great admissions bump… I would guess that fewer apply ED to these schools than similarly ranked schools (ND, BC, Boston, etc.)—so it will stand out more
good luck!
Probably not gonna work, and if you do get in, unless you have in-state, it will be stupid expensive.
These schools are not worth sticker
TITCR. OP, if you have other options besides law school, explore them.
Are you a resident of any of these states?
im not a resident of any of these states, money isn’t really an issue i just want to get into the best school i can. adding notre dame to the list. looking at lsn it seems like i have a decent shot at these schools, i just need help deciding which one to ed to
Decide which state you want to work in. Aside from maybe ND, none of these schools are really better.
I’m a 1L at Ohio State. Most people get in-state at OSU for 2nd and 3rd years, so consider that when thinking about Ohio State. Also, I have it on good authority that ED at OSU gives you a significant admissions boost with no adverse affect on your ability to qualify for scholarships. Of course, your numbers themselves may bar you from a scholarship…but Ohio State does have scholarships other than academic merit.
Just thought I’d add in my $.02
