All good advice here. Thanks for the catch on Northwestern. Especially with the Chicago living expenses, that $150k only goes so far... but still a hell of a deal! I'll check out the ATL articles as well. Thanks all!
I've been thinking about where I want to apply in a few months and if I want to apply early decision to any school. I'm from the midwest and I'd like to stay here at a top 20 school with more of a national reputation; I'd eventually like to work for the federal government or in the AG office of a state government. My top choices are Chicago U, Northwestern, Wash U STL, and Notre Dame.
Wash U and Northwestern both offer full rides if you apply and are admitted early decision, which makes those schools look extra tempting. My question is this. Wash U promises a two week turnaround for a decision from the time you apply. If I were to apply to Wash U early on and receive either a rejection or a note saying I'll be considered with the general applicants, would I then be allowed to apply early decision at Northwestern? Or any other school in any order for that matter?
My gut would say "no" based on the early decision agreement most schools make you sign, but I figured I'd confirm that. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out!

Same! At least there are others in the same boat... Hang in there!

Does anyone know the latest they would send out scores? This is brutal.
At this point you are at the mercy of a server running a script. Mass email and database updates are an unfortunately slow process. But there isn't a human behind the process at this point, so there is no latest time. Just, when the script gets to you it gets to you.
Thanks

Think about how long the wait is going to be from the time it turns grey until the scores get emailed... or wait to keep our sanity maybe let's not

Is it possible for them to post grades on July 4th?
Technically yes it is. It's been done in the past in the early 2000's.

It's happened before -- 2008.
Looks like that one came out on July 3 ? I'm just hoping we won't be the first to wait this long!
It's gotta be today, right? In the last 13 years they haven't released a June test after the 4th of July... The wait is truly agonizing!

Not cool! My heart sank for about 0.2 seconds

What are your career goals? If you ultimately would like to end up in government, either would be great depending of course on what type of role you want to have in government.
Good catch, @graceouyangg856. I've found that every once in awhile you can treat causation as conditional logic, but for the amount of times that it'll get you in to trouble - like the above question - it's almost not worth it. That's probably because they are not the same thing, as you well know.
I think it's especially important to trust our instincts and causation studies on the "softer" LR questions. By "softer" I mean questions that typically rely less on formal lawgic at their core, e.g. MP, MSS, RRE, Princ., and some NA. While SA, MBT, MBT, Para, and PF can use both either causation or conditional logic, it's often easier to see which one is at play which can help us diagram, or as you said, using lawgic as shorthand.
@7sagestudentservices Would you want to make another "Is it grey day? [NO]" forum for the June exam? Or is that just redundant...

Scores have been released on their days off in the past, could be the same for here.
Didn't know that. Thanks!
Heyo! Glad to be in contention! Now that I'm finished with my LSAT prep and exam, the real question is this: Will I spend more time or less time on the forums? Only time will tell...
