No shade, but the phrase "running UGs" in reference to dating (preying on?) undergraduate coeds is kind of creepy, no?

Also, I may be the only one who noticed this, but how many guys totally black out after only 1.5 drinks? Either they drugged him or he's damn slender.

I black out after one drink. But I am slender and considered a light weight. I have a funny story but I will save that for another day.

I didn't say I was AA, but maybe I should have. I just wrote that I wanted to see if I would qualify for a merit-based waiver, told them why I'm interested in the school, and my stats with LSAC acct number.mandyjay11 wrote:What did your email say?

So did anyone receive a packet from Standford? Its weird because I will def not get in but it was the whole we encourage you to apply blsa letter/ app for fee waiver, but there was also 3 sample resumes and personal statements.
I just think it is hilarious that they would even give me hope.

Hi,
My name is Blah-zay blah and I was wondering if Georgetown offered merit-based application fee waivers. I am an African American female and [line about why G-town] but I will be unable to apply if not granted a fee waiver. My information is:
LSDAS GPA: X.XX
LSAT SCORE: 1XX
LSAC ACCOUNT NUMBER: LXXXXXXX
Thank you for your consideration!
