Who'd you hear from? - Post-December LSAT Applicants Forum

[bloodonthetracks]

Berkeley - complete Jan 11, in by phone call Jan 18
NYU - complete Jan 26, in by snail mail Feb 6
Stanford - complete Feb 3 (late recommendation), in by phone call Feb 10

Retook Sep LSAT in Dec, and accepted at Berekely and NYU with 1 LOR, for anyone who questions whether schools really mean it when they say 0-1 LOR required (which I did, but my second writer didn't get hers in until Feb SECOND)

congrats on the great cycle. i don't think your getting accepted into these schools proves or even indicates anything about how schools look at LORs. i think you -- as a URM, 171, 3.7 from Harvard -- can afford to send just 1 LOR. i would argue that it certainly helps the vast majority of applicants to send 2-3 LORs.

In at GW w/Dean's scholarship in a letter dated 2/5. Applied 1/3, complete 1/20. Already withdrew before getting the letter but after it was sent.

Jealous of Powell's rapid turnarounds at Stanford and Berkeley. Congratulations!

[ndirish2010]

In at Illinois as well, $30K/yr!

DC airport's reopened! That means...maybe actually getting some mail and some adcomms are going to start moving again?

If it helps anyone, I've heard from Illinois, Seattle, Marquette and Indiana-Indianapolis since the last time I posted in this thread. I suspect not many on these boards are waiting on any of those except Illinois though.

Only place I've heard from is Duke. Still waiting to hear from... 8 others

Oh yay! Also in at GW with 105k scholarship. The letter had a really nice handwritten note on it from the dean.

Congrats!

I love the handwritten notes - they make me feel like someone actually read my whole application instead of just looking at my numbers.

I know!! The handwritten note made me feel so strangely happy. It made the acceptance a hundred times more awesome.

When did you apply?

[A Swift]

Got dinged at UT with a 3.9/170(166) and wait listed at Columbia. Still waiting on all other schools. Am I in for a bloodbath?

When did you Texas people apply? I am still not under review. However, considering the ding with your numbers, it's not looking good for me.

[traehekat]

Dinged at UIUC today. First one of the cycle, I was on such a heater.

BTW, does ANYONE get accepted to UT?

I applied before Xmas. Am I screwed for this cycle, or is a 3.9/170 a normal ding for UT?

With numbers lower than yours, I got into Vanderbilt. That would be a peer institution I guess, so I would say no.
