Got my JR2. Was pretty much speechless on the phone. So even if you have a rambling, awkward, 3 minute JR1, there is still hope!

That goes for TK and me hahah

Wow Michigan sent me a hand signed letter talking about their commitment to diversity and their BLSA on campus/fee waiver.

I'm sure lots of other people got it but still it definitely got my attention, no one else took that much time to do that.

LGs clicking like never before currently, got that 170 in sight

Congratulations to everyone for your terrific acceptances! I didn't end up getting many fee waivers:
AA Male
165
3.35
Profile: multi-lingual, religious minority
I mention my profileto ask where you guys figure I should apply, I've got limited funds so I can't really blanket the T-14 as I'd like.
Thanks

Ask for fee waivers for every school you want to apply to. I did this and about 3/4 acquiesced. UC Hastings and a few other schools are a bit anal about it, but it never hurts to ask.

How did you get accepted at 1:47 am on a holiday weekend? Are you making this up? Are you saying the adcoms are up that late on a holiday weekend.?

Some of these emails are automated...adcomms don't necessarily have to be up that late or in the office in order for candidates to receive emails of acceptance.

Congrats to all the new admits <3
