It sounds as if she has really already decided. Do you know how late someone can defer an acceptance? She could take the LSAT in June and see what score she gets and then decide to defer or reapply. I have some experience with the issue: I am an attorney and worked at BigLaw for many years, plus my son applied to law schools this year and has been accepted at two T-14 schools and several others. We also do not care about finances. I will say that your choice of school to a large extent stays with you for job changes your entire career so it is important. She may do fine career wise if she goes to BC or BU, it is just that her chances might improve if she defers. Every job she gets may affect future jobs she is offered. Of course, if her score does not improve she could be seen as wasting a year, but even one or two points might make a difference. But I cannot say that she will not have any opportunities at BC or BU particularly if she does very well. For others reading this I want to emphasize that it seems important to apply early. We were shocked at how soon most acceptances came without applying early decision (one before Thanksgiving, several before Christmas, others early January). My son’s credentials were not high enough to make him a no brainer for the T-14 schools so that is not the explanation for the early acceptance. My son may have been accepted anyway, but it seems like his chances had to have been better before the class started filling up.
