Today apparently is Toby's last day as Dean of Admissions at HLS. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/admissions/welcome/

So who is going to take over his post? I find it strange that during the hot phase of the admissions cycle there hasn't been any communication from the HLS side about this. At the end of the day someone has to assume Toby's role, if only on an interim basis.
Also with the departure of Kagan, it appears that HLS is quite headless at the moment.

Have there been no rumblings about this at Eton?

Hehehe.

Wow, I must have left quite the impression on you. Or why would you remember that I went to Eton?

To your question, I have no idea if there are any rumblings at Eton. Maybe they will ask one of our famous alums, Bear Grylls, to take over. At least he is quite popular with the Yanks anyways. And if you piss him off, he will just rip your head off and eat you raw!

Les Stroud > Bear Grylls

Pretty sure the impression you left is not something you should be bragging about.

Haha! That's like saying Cooley>HLS. But you are entitled to your opinion of course.

According to an email that Toby sent out to newly admitted students this morning, Karen Buttenbaum, an associate director of admissions, is assuming Toby's post on an interim basis.

It's not about leaving an impression, mallard just remembers shit. That's how his brain works. He probably knows the numbers/ug/major combos of some of the most obscure members of this site, yourself included.

3.5/165 or something like that, right?

Thank you for the clarification. This is all very serious business, you know.

Just trying to explain the why. I'm sure you know that you're relatively obscure in the grand scheme of things on this site. Not a shot at you or anything.

Any word on how the process will continue from here on out in terms of calls? Are those of us still waiting now hoping for the KB email, KB1 and KB2....

Does this mean if you didn't get the e-mail you're not getting in? (For those of us who already have TS1)

.

No, this e-mail went to our Harvard email inboxes this morning, not our LSAC e-mail addy.

Feelings of depression have now transformed back into feelings of anxiety.

Who wants to be the first to facebook first Ms. Buttenbaum?

I'm pretty sure Mallomar knows more about me than I do.

And now I can FB Toby W. Stock without fear of retribution!

BTW, Karen Buttenbaum: not on FB, but might be a triathlete.

Karen visited my UG college a few months ago. She seemed nice. I asked her about Harvard's policy on multiple LSATs and her answer seemed more encouraging than their website does.

I'm shocked to learn that someone else actually stalked KB to the point of deducing this. If not a triathlete, the girl definitely loves her 5ks. Think our excellent research skills could be parlayed into an admit?

Perhaps. If not, then at least a restraining order...

I've actually got a friend teaching at Eton right now... so i just find this exchange pretty entertaining.
