the common denominator between us then is being LA/CA residents...maybe USC thinks because we're local they don't need to entice us with money?

ETA: wait, did you even apply to USC yet bee? I'm pretty sure the email was sent out to people who already applied.

I'm not applying there.

My heart actually started racing when I was reading it. Sweaty palms....everything. I felt like I should have been receiving my score or something lol.

You also automatically get an SA at Skadden, pretty snazzy.

"The Rothman Scholar also receives a Summer Fellowship that provides a guaranteed placement with the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, following the first year of law school."

go to lsac.org and click lsat > status. the boxes should be green at the moment.

jfc i hate whoever brought up gray day again im getting anxiety just remembering oct's. i really really really hope i dont have to wait like 4-5 hours again.

Yeah, no matter how many threads I read through, nothing prepared me for the actual moment that the boxes turned. I hope this time around I somehow won't realize it's grey day until I get my e-mail.

I lucked out in that I overslept, found out it was grey day through TLS, and got the email literally 2~4 minutes after finding out.

I had to wait all day. I got my hopes up after seeing other people's scores... Hopefully I won't have to wait quite as long this time...

I paid $2 to the California DMV for what they promised was my complete driving record. They lied. All it had was one driving with a cell phone ticket from last year and two car accidents. All my speeding tickets, runnings of railroad crossings, unregistered vehicle, proof of insurance, broken tail light/head light/brake light tickets that I threw away all the documents for were completely missing. Its even missing like 4 car accidents! I hate California! I hate the DMV! I hate that some law schools require this information!

Thank you in advance for your sympathy. Good luck to everyone on your LSAT scores!
