UNC might be worth a look. I think our grade deflation is limited to STEM :P

#

#

#

very valid

little island
#

Add cornell 😔

#

u will love it trust 🙏

#

we have a cat cafe

#

ithaca is like a booming metropolis

#

hmmm

#

I think u will like USC

#

NYU

#

Princeton while in a rural area is a short train ride away from either Philly or New York

#

Boston University could be fun, also Stanford

#

Look at the Claremont Colleges too

#

Pomona, Pitzer, Claremont Mckenna, and Scripps (if you identify as a woman) could be good

#

Also UMich, Swarthmore

#

in general since prelaw u wanna look at elite LACs

#

(Claremonts, Swarthmore, Williams, Amherst)

#

fair

#

Rice

#

Tufts

#

Boston College

#

UChicago (kind of tough but goated law school)

#

uchicago is nice in general

#

hmmm

#

I was a T20 shotgunner but for math

#

LMAO

#

Northwestern for sure

#

Vanderbilt

#

Emory

#

Econ n Law

#

BU might also be good

#

I like BU better than BC cause im math but I think BU is on the same level

#

good strat

#

start early 🙏

#

i imagine you are a good writer

#

If you start early you can shotgun no problem

#

I was better prepared than most ppl and i ended writing essays for 40 schools

#

@mystic imp this is who I want representing me in court fr

#

Good idea

#

Hmm

#

Fair advice

#

ngl its not the writing its the topic that is hard for the PS

#

dont give yourself any time limit for that, just start early

#

supps r different because they are easier to write (less personal and more straightforward) but there a lot of them

#

personal statement is kind of funky

#

you have to play around with it a lot until you find that golden one

#

I personally ED’d

#

but keep in mind i am a near full pay applicant who was shotgunning and in love w/ Cornell

#

and it happened to pay off

#

I would pick ur favorite school and do it personally if you can afford to

#

ED is a rare tangible boost in an otherwise random process

#

might as well

#

Whats ur favorite school

#

brown kind of nice for that GPA

#

i would personally do yale if i was prelaw

#

wait

#

Hmm

#

I would be wary of REA

#

wait what?

#

yale is dangerous?

#

dang

#

😭

#

interesting

#

sometimes you want the flexibility of having EA for privates

#

so be smart when REAing

#

however most likely you will be finee

#

options r nice but like

#

for me

#

i was gonna go to cornell no matter what if i got in

#

so i lost nothing

#

hmm

#

only do ED if you would truly have no regrets

#

I would say

#

u sound like a good applicant

#

also ED isn’t as big as ppl realize

#

yes this is true

#

but ED wont protect u form that

#

so like

#

i would still only do ed if u love the school

#

If you write ur essays well, and truly do answer them, youll get somewhere

#

Duke is a nice one though if u are considsering ED

#

I think a 17 percent ED acceptance rate

#

i like duke better than harvard personally but you will naturally fall in love with schools throughout the process

#

for instance i ended up falling in love with the claremonts to the point where they were my number 2 choice

#

ooh thatwill be fun

#

since ur prelaw u have the advantage of having everything be more structured

#

ye

#

also go on the website and use this erver to talk to ppl

#

hearing current cornellies helped me a lot

#

@jovial rock go bears!

#

yea u have so mich time

#

this time of year last year i was set to do uchicago

#

I even did a program there

#

yet here i am now

#

everything changes

#

just be disciplined, keep up thwt GPA, stay on the lookout for opportunities, and youll be fine

brown doesn't really have the best pre-law advising + no law school but poli sci requirement is only like 10 credits 💸 and law school placement is rly good anyways (MANY MANY t14s) soooooo (a little biased) but yeah + brown is way more lax than a lot of other prestigious schools so you can get good grades and have time for other stuff (hopefully... i havent experienced brown yet but wishful thinking)

#

yes but run those net price calculators

Gender? Because a lot of women’s colleges (like Wellesley) are getting really high up in the rankings, it’s pretty close to Boston and has a good PoliSci population
