It may be true for some applicants, but not all. Some URMs have already been accepted at multiple schools in the T6, and I imagine that more will be accepted when UChi and Columbia start in on their RD decisions. Sorry to ruin your relaxation!

Maybe it's true for URMs that are on the lower end of the stats. Idk. I've been accepted to a T8 already, haven't heard from T6 yet though.

Not sure my chances at any of these schools, but I'm definitely getting an extra special lesson in patience waiting to hear back!

My number one choice is Vanderbilt, but most people say they don't negotiate scholarships, so would I really just be wasting 30 bucks applying to NYU at this point in the cycle?

Are there certain firms SEO works with or do they try to place you with any you want?

Where can one find these numbers?

I think I snatched up the last reasonable time all month. I kept seeing 5am (I'm two hours behind them) & was like "helllll nah" so I took interviewing sooner than I wanted to over interviewing at the crack of dawn

Don't worry about it too much. Looking at the acceptance forum and the law admissions subreddit it looks like Cornell is rejecting everyone, even if you meet their numbers or exceed them. I'm sure you'll get into a higher ranked school.
