did anyone else on cc apply for the 6 year ba/jd

<p>just wonnnnndering :)</p>

<p>my s applied for the UHP</p>

<p>^was going to apply for the 6 yr ba/md prgm, but didn't on admission counselor's advice that the UHP was a better prgm for him</p>

<p>Just a word of advice about the BA/JD...</p>

<p>It may not actually be as good of a deal as it seems for a few reasons. The program is extremely selective, meaning that only the best students who have demonstrated achievement on standardized tests/in class will be admitted. Additionally, the program requires that you maintain a VERY high GPA. If you were to apply to law school with over a 3.7 GPA and a high LSAT score, you could probably get into a much better law school with better career prospects than GW (it's ranked #20 in the country). Even if you went to GW Law after graduation, you could probably get a far more sizable scholarship than the one that is offered to BA/JD students.</p>

<p>The program could be beneficial for students who don't think they could perform well enough on the LSAT to get into a better law school than GW. Also, a BA/JD student could just take the LSAT anyway and see if they score well enough to go to a different law school.</p>

<p>I did not do the BA/JD program at GW, but I am attending law school next year, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.</p>

<p>^ Ya, it's nonbinding, which is one of the things that is so attractive about it.</p>

<p>I applied, but I doubt I'll get in. If by luck I get accepted, I will attend GWU - no doubt.</p>

<p>I applied. Doubt I'll get it, though.</p>

<p>i can't wait to find outtt. grrr, probably this week i'm assuming :)</p>

<p>My D got waitlisted today</p>
