Re: UVA c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
I'm not, and if you aren't independently wealthy I really don't think EDing is a good idea. UVA even regular decision can be stingy for some people, you would most likely end up paying sticker if you ED. And as much as I really, really want to go to UVA, there is no way its worth sticker price if you are debt financing.hamshotfirst wrote:Made an account just to get in on this thread! Lets go!

I'm extremely fortunate in that cost isn't an issue, which is why I'm considering it. Also, UVA is my dream school, but I'm not going to pretend it isn't going to be a reach, since I'm going to be a splitter. My uGPA is below their 25% (3.2). I'm 6 years out and have some good work experience that I hope will show I'm a better person than the GPA reflects haha (not counting on softs, just hoping that plus a stellar LSAT will show I've gotten my act together).Slippin' Jimmy wrote:I'm not, and if you aren't independently wealthy I really don't think EDing is a good idea.

I'm taking the LSAT in September, and while I've been PT-ing around my target score that I know would be most likely to get me accepted, I know that literally means nothing until I actually write for the test, so that's where all of my focus is going to be for the next 2 months.
Obviously it will depend on how the LSAT turns out (fingers crossed!) but since cost isn't a factor and I would definitely attend if accepted, I figure ED might be worth a shot. If nothing else, I figured it would crush me quickly.

Re: UVA c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
I'm attending this year. I applied ED because of geographic ties and cost wasn't an issue (GI Bill), but they also surprised me with a pretty nice scholarship. They say they don't differentiate between ED and RD for money; I can only anecdotally say that's true, but it's possible.
I think work experience and other good softs matter a lot. A friend also got in last cycle with a GPA a good bit lower than yours on the strength of a really good resume. I don't think it's a reach for you if you get a decent LSAT, and ED isn't a bad option.

Thanks so much for your reply! This is super encouraging and definitely extra motivating to study more for the LSAT!

No problem; just trying to pay forward some of the good advice and guidance I got here when I was applying.

Definitely applying here.
Pretty much a coin flip on MyLSN, but I'm from VA and graduated from UVA so hopefully that will be worth something.

Re: UVA c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
I was admitted this year with 3.2 GPA and 175 LSAT, ~10 years work experience. Work and life experience is a plus, so as long as you can kill the LSAT, you have a chance. I deferred to Fall 2018, so I'll be seeing some of you guys in 1L!hamshotfirst wrote:

Yes, I received scholarship offers from all the schools that accepted me, with the exception of Georgetown. My LSN profile is at: lawschoolnumbers.com/Dxgriffin. I got a denial from UT, because I failed to respond to their request for a supplemental statement (because I was already in at all the other schools by then). Otherwise, I did alright in the admissions process. Also, I have diversity factors that affected my apps (but not a URM).clueless801 wrote:Do you have a LSN profile/ can you share whether you received any aid as a splitter?dxgriffin wrote: I was admitted this year with 3.2 GPA and 175 LSAT, ~10 years work experience.

Re: UVA c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
Just found out yesterday that UVA has a JD/MA in legal history program that gives you both degrees after only 3 years and no additional cost on top of the JD. While I'd prefer a Polisci MA to one in history, the fact that there is no additional time or cost is making it a very attractive option. I'd like to keep a future PhD/Undergrad Academia in the realm of possibility and this could really keep that door open with no additional time or $$.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
