Greetings!

I have not applied for admission to Loyola, but I thought you might be interested to know about the integrity of one of your recent ED admits. While I don't know this person, they had a rather interesting post on Top-Law-Schools.com that you should be aware of:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=99112

Thank you, and I hope you have a great day!



That was pretty low ball.


I don't disagree with you, but it's much more low ball to not notify the other schools one has applied to just because they've applied.

"I mean, I PAID the fees to get an answer from these other schools and now I supposedly have to withdraw."

Snitching is way more douchey than the OP's question and subsequent replies.

Edit: clarity


I would do horribly in prison because I would snitch on everyone.

Whatever keeps a dick out of your ass, right? Snitching > Shower scene from American History X.

I think a post like this would have way fewer responses in August, when nobody is waiting for decisions or waitlists and therefore hoping to decrease the pool of competing applicants.

Snitching is so lame. OP is lame, but I hope the guy who emailed the school has a horrendous cycle.

OP, I would make sure none of your previous posts or LSN don't have any revealing info.

Wow. I think the OP deserves much of the criticism that he or she is getting in this thread, but the above email, if actually sent, is just about the worst thing I have seen on TLS. Everyone has the right to be anonymous on here. The members of the TLS community should respect that anonymity. No one should ever go out of their way, as the above poster apparently did, to reveal someone else's identify to an admissions office.

Were I a moderator, I would ban FacistCommunist from this forum.

OP should add another question to his (I assume chicks aren't this retarded) post.

If I'm dumb enough to not hide my identifying information on an internet message board, and I solicit opinions on the ramifications of breaking a contract with my first choice law school, what is the worst that could happen?

Yea, seriously. I'm kind of thinking that was a joke, but it is highly wishful thinking. It's like the Cheated on the LSAT poll/thread. Someone posted that the mods should send a list of everyone who answered yes to LSAC. Not only could people lie, hit the wrong button, etc, but it undermines the whole concept of this stuff if you ask for honest responses that people assume will be anonymous, and then turn around and start reporting them to people.

Getting back to the OP, all he did was ask a question, and express some frustration that he would have to withdraw without getting answers back on his application. Being hesitant to follow through with stipulations of a contract, or annoyed that you have to, does not constitute you breaking that contract...

+1. Snitching and not wanting to withdraw from other schools after binding ED acceptance, "worst. thread. ever."

wtf. OP is clearly stupid, but you don't blow someone's law career like that. If you actually sent that email, I think you are worse than OP.

Honestly, the whole entire ED thing was stupid. But sending an email busting OP is perhaps even worse. I couldn't sleep at night knowing that I screwed someone's desire to be a lawyer which could be their dreams (although a stupid someone either way).

"Snitching"? Seriously? What are you, a criminal?

FC jumped the gun, assuming he/she actually sent it in and isn't just trying to scare the OP. And the letter has pre-schadenfreude written all over it. But the rush to condemn the OP rather than inform and persuade is jumping the gun as well. This could have played out without incident and drama if you guys had simply cited the ED contract and argued why paying the application fee at other schools does not entitle one to a decision given that contract, and pointed out that schools trade enough information to put the OP in danger of being recognized as violating that contract. Then you put the moral cherry on top by explaining how violating the contract negatively affects others.

Rushing to condemn and creating drama just wastes everybody's time. You might have succeeded in scaring the OP into compliance, but you'll only have made him/her more belligerent, while needlessly attracting a crowd chanting "OMG, what a retarded douche!"

Every time I see your 'tar I swooooon.

Such love for RDJ <3

Thats all :)

I'll throw in my two cents because I'm bored . . .I think the OP had a legitimate question . . . I agree that his plan was unethical, but the ED contract aside, I can understand wanting to see how your applications that you paid for turned out, especially if you hadn't thought it all the way through like the OP obviously didn't . . . but that's the beauty of an anonymous forum, you can ask stupid questions. Anyway, the amount of vitriol here is totally ridiculous. If that email was actually sent, I would imagine the school will ignore it . . . I read an article somewhere that all sorts of grad schools are starting to get more and more emails of revealing facebook photos showing the applicant smoking a bong or whatever from anonymous d-bags trying to shoot them down, and they almost universally just ignore them.

People did respond seriously at first, with constructive reasons for why he should withdraw. He responded with basically, "I don't care, I just want to know if I'll get in trouble".

Emailing the school was lame, but fwiw, I doubt this applicant would get kicked out for asking a "what if" question. I'm sure many ED applicants wonder the same thing, and I bet the LS has better things to do than to track down some kid on a message board because of his thought crime.

That being said, I do agree with everyone else that this isn't the right thing to do. For me, that would be more than enough, and I would withdraw my applications elsewhere.

In addition, it seems pretty clear that the best case scenario is that you find out what would have happened with other schools and you could imagine a what-if scenario with no basis in reality. The worst is that by violating your ED contract, get your admission revoked, and possibly don't gain admission anywhere else as a result. It appears they could find out because law school admissions personnel do talk to each other, as pointed out earlier. I agree that it might not happen, but certainly, there is a risk.

A simple cost/benefit analysis should assist you in just being happy you're in at your #1 and withdrawing your applications!! Check out lawschoolpredictor.com to get a sense of what might have happened instead.


fascistcommunist=a retard if he did send it out.
