Applying ED- does it matter when?

So I’m applying ED to BU this upcoming cycle. My GPA is below their 25th percentile and right now I’m PTing around their median, hoping to slowly raise that.

My question is- does it really matter how early I get my application in if it’s in their Early Decision pool? Their ED timeline is actually pretty late into the season; it goes from September until January. Thanks for any input you guys might have.

I've found it useful to go through tons of questions and after answering them timed, go back and treat each stimulus like a labeling exercise. Label premises, conclusions, etc, underline words that indicate OPP/OPA, or serve to pivot from context to the actual argument. Highlight qualifiers/modifiers, anything that makes something "weaker" or "stronger".

If a question stem asks you to strengthen, go back and think about how it could be weakened, and vice-versa. On every Parallel and Parallel Flaw question, write out why each answer is wrong using whatever made up notation you would use while taking the test live. I've gotten down to -1/-2 on every section by basically just breaking down every stimulus, and explaining why the wrong answers are incorrect during BR.

Oh, also make question packets of everything you either get wrong or flag because of uncertainty. Do a few packets of those "challenge" questions and the real thing starts to feel alot easier.

The Indus Valley one is the graded one. I had it, but I had three LR sections

I take note when JY does swears.

Side note, I feel like they're playing on our natural desire for symmetry. "Generosity" is a sufficient condition, and we naturally want "Selfishness" to also be a sufficient condition since they're symbolically "opposites".

I picked a set of 8 games that are sort of tailor made for splitting, because I wanted to specifically practice that. I did them over and over for a couple days and, yeah I started doing the splits overnight.

Info on February LSAT?

Has anyone received any information about scheduling regarding February's LSAT? It's now under 2 weeks away, I haven't gotten any correspondence from LSAC since the day I registered, wondering what other people are experiencing. Thanks!
