UCLA Binding Early Admission

ariinchargeariincharge Alum Member

Hey guys, wanted to get your take on my situation. I am a Canadian student who graduated from the University of Toronto this year with an Honours BA. I finished with a UGPA of 3.54 and I am PT-ing in the 163-165 range right now. UCLA is my first choice for American schools and if I get in I will 100% accept the offer. I am wondering if it is worth it for me to apply early binding. I am not dead set on the US and will potentially go to U of T law if I am admitted but UCLA has always been a dream and I plan to practice in California. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    You should come to our webinar tonight and ask! But if you're willing to pay sticker, then I think it's a pretty decent idea!

    so if we apply ED, is that mean the schools will give less scholarship and assume applicants are willing to pay sticker price?

    @SCLawbae that's exactly what it means.

    Note that a few schools award automatic merit scholarships to ED admits, which changes the calculus. But as you say, if a school doesn't offer such an automatic scholarship, ED applicants should assume that they'll pay sticker.
