[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say the list price premium if law is intended graduate field is not warranted for Washington U, Tufts, or Emory over UVA and W&M.  Schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford are really difficult to decline, and it would also probably be tough for Columbia, Duke, etc., but not Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Cornell etc.  Probably no more than a dozen or so schools tops (you can exclude MIT and Caltech if not going engineering and science).

There hasn't been much real data offered in this thread, but I note that the top two publics in representation on a per capita basis at super elite Yale Law are  . . . W&M and UVA.  The top undergraduate schools represented at the great UVA Law school (ranked #8) are . . . UVA and W&M.  Sometimes it isn't too bad to be a Virginian.

Use your EA, ED1, and ED2 sequence wisely and it should work out well for you.  Someone had a good suggested order that I can't recall, but it made great sense.

+1.  You make a lot of sense.  [/quote]

OP here.  Sequence was ED Emory, Tufts, or Wash U (haven't decided).  Think he only realistically has a shot at Emory so leaning ED there pending visit.  Tufts and Wash U are very hard from DC area privates.  Mob scene for these three schools at the Independent Schools Fair a few weeks bad (that was held at Georgetown Prep).  If ED 1 fails, ED 2 Wake or William and Mary (probably W&M because of cost).  At same EA Michigan, Chicago, and UVA (while doing ED 1).

See the problem?  If ED succeeds at Emory, we would not know EA UVA and are obligated (First World problems).  ED comes out a week before Christmas and UVA ED is end of January.  Hence the question: is it worth it if we are committed to Emory full pay.  No chance of financial aid and was told yesterday by a consultant Emory gives 2% merit.  This kid won't get it.  Sister might though.

Speaking of Sister, you mention schools that hard to deny for law school. What are your thoughts on Dartmouth?  They are third in terms of the class of 2021 at UVA Law behind UVA and William and Mary undergrads?

You seem wise to appreciate your advise on these points.    [/quote]
