Re: Michigan 2012
If they had your app and got your LSDAS report electronically the same day they requested it, why would it take longer than 4 days to go complete?

on LSN, every ED applicant took 12-14 days to go complete, I thought that was how long michigan took.

What point in the cycle? It tends to be quicker after a certain point.

Re: Michigan 2012
It could also be that they wanted to make sure they got you in there for ED consideration.
Sometimes I think the LSN numbers are affected by the fact that it makes Michigan longer than other schools to get the status check log-in information to you, and you may go complete before the status check lets you know. I think it took me almost 3 weeks after applying RD to get the status check log-in.

Michigan, according to LSN, definitely goes high and low with the applicants that get Darrow scholarships. Any idea, just a girl, what made you attractive to them?

I'm not quite sure what high and low means. Do you mean, high GPA low LSAT or something?penguinfiasco wrote: Michigan, according to LSN, definitely goes high and low with the applicants that get Darrow scholarships
I am thinking it was my soft factors, because they were really the only distinguishing thing I had in my application. And I felt like mine in comparison to many friends' factors were fairly mediocre. Although, I think I had extremely strong LOR, which could have also helped.

Re: Michigan 2012
Haha that would be pretty sweet possum. Alas, it wouldn't really work with my schedule-I'm leaving my job 2.5 months early, so my spring will consist of long hours at work. Besides, with summer start I will be moving out there May 16th anyway.
Have you figured out what you're doing for the 1L summer?

Nope. I think places aren't allowed to take applications/resumes until Dec. 1st from 1Ls. Career services wasn't even allowed to talk to us until Nov. 1st.

Oh yeah I forgot about those timing rules. I'm sure you will be set if you're looking for IP work though, they still seem to be in-demand. And by in-demand I really just mean not being fired on large scale ala abovethelaw stories of other firms.

Re: Michigan 2012
If it's any comfort -- I've been here for ninety days, and I have no idea who she is. I might have even met her and just not made the connection. I have seen at least one person on here comment that she's pretty quiet in real life. Overall Michigan seems to have a much higher ratio of human beings to insufferable assholes than you would expect from a law school, and that counts for a lot. These people will be your fellow alumni for the rest of your life, after all. It's so much more than just three ugly winters in a cold stone dungeon -- when it's over you still get to pull all-nighters and weekends with them out in the real world too.EmmyD is there, I think.

This is so goddamn credited. As a transfer I've had the experience of being at another law school, and I know that my experience is pretty limited, but Michigan has seriously decent people. There are still a couple insufferable assholes but mostly everyone here has a lot of decorum and a good majority are genuinely decent people.Overall Michigan seems to have a much higher ratio of human beings to insufferable assholes than you would expect from a law school, and that counts for a lot

Re: Michigan 2012
Then my plan is working. I know there are a bunch of TLS people in our class, but I have only figured out the ones who posted obvious things that also showed up on facebook or something, like dog-tars or photos of them IRL. If you're in my section, then you most likely know who I am and just don't know it.hmmm ... I have no idea who you are either.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
