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

unless they have a competitive scholarship

Lusak

2:32

It's Boston College's scholarship option.

Lusak
