Law School Applications / Need Advice: Meeting with Dean of Admission in October..
« on: September 21, 2008, 02:08:59 PM »
I will be flying there (from East Coast, school West Coast). This is my clear cut number one choice. If accepted I would most likely go there.
Question: During the "meeting" do I make it clear that this school is my number one choice and if accepted I would be there in the fall?
I both see positives and negatives about doing this.
Positive: He will know I am very serious about his school, and it would eliminate any uncertainty about my decision if accepted (Keep in mind this school does not offer early acceptance/early decision options)
Negative: Would I lose any chance of scholarship when they know I would go there if accepted, would I be in automatic waitlist if they know I would wait for their decision.
According to LSN, Chiasu, etc. I have around a 50/50% chance at this school. So it not like I would be an automatic rejection (or I hope I wouldn't) or acceptance.
