[Confused7]

Don't know if this helps, but I got my packet today (ED admit) in Manhattan. Post-marked 1/25 and I live literally a stone's throw away from CLS. So if you live in NYC it could still be on its way!!!

So now we've got 1/24, 1/25, and 1/26??? Confusion all around! Thanks for letting us know annie. Hopefully 1/25 had love for both RD and ED admits.

すごく寒いよ！そうと言うんだけど私は四国に住んでいるから北海道と比べるとあんまり寒くない。なぜ日本にいましたか？　

なぜかと言うとやっぱり恋だね。。。大学の四年生の時日本に留学して彼女に会った。

あなたは？

There is so much hope right now that I just want to freeze time and live forever in a netherworld where I always might be admitted to Columbia Law.

I mean, that would get old. But yay for still hope.

It may be nice to have CLS numbers-whore for admissions, but when it comes to actually spending three years with people who have nothing more than an ultra-high LSAT score, are double-Ivy, and have a respectable u/g GPA, well...that I can't envision. I actually want to know my classmates for the rest of my life, so ideally they'd be interesting people too =]

Know classmates? My gunning strategy only lets me socialize with classmates 3.5 hours per week (cut back to 0 hours during finals, obvi).

I know this was tongue-in-cheek, but I'd still like to know how you (or anyone else) would define "gunner" (a personality type that I've heard references to repeatedly but never fully grasped) -- I mean, I study obsessively and for many hours on end, but I'd still help other students, be gracious about good/bad performance, not talk about schoolwork once I leave the library (even if it is at midnight), and, I don't know... be generally nice to people? Does that count? If not, what is the quintessential gunner like?

The bold is pretty gunnery.

If you get to law school and you can't identify the gunners in your classes, then it's you.

[Excellence = a Habit]

I feel like to be a gunner, you have to be obsessed with class ranking, not just studying. You have to be gunning for first, and everyone else has a target on their back.

This is what I figured; I would imagine (perhaps wrongly? that everyone here enjoys learning.

For a bit of lighthearted relief for those waiting, check out the hipster stereotype on pg. 158 living in Williamsburg who doesn't know where Greenpoint is. (jk bro)

Assume you mean me, though I'm not sure why? They asked about neighborhoods, GP is a different neighborhood from Williamsburg, with a different zip code.

The gunner title is normally held for those who are douchy about it. People who want to succeed at any cost. Other people are the least of their concerns. The more carnage they lay behind them the better.

In general, douche bags.

This is the official gunner/douche bag test.

Ehh I still think studying obsessively is gunner status. But I mean yeah there is def a lot worse

[WestOfTheRest]

Ehh I still think studying obsessively is gunner status.

Probably on of the main characteristics, but definitely not an sufficient characteristic. If this was sufficient characteristic, everyone in a t6 school should probably be considered a gunner.

[pdiddy89]

any chicago sightings? i have a 4.4 index and am beginning to worry..

[pdiddy89]

does that mean i should start getting worried knock?

does that mean i should start getting worried knock?

Nah, give it at least through Monday or Tuesday, especially since there appears to be a new, 1/26 batch that was sent out.

[dianaw]

does that mean i should start getting worried knock?

same boat, chicago, my nyu letter was sent on the 21st and I still haven't received it yet though...

6 days is nothing. It took me 11 days, someone else 13, and Castlerock waited almost 3 weeks to receive his.

Why can't they e-mail?? This is all going to drive me CRAZY. We don't know if we're not in, or if there's new batches, or if there's crazy snow messing everything up.

Ha, weren't you the one who "preferred snail mail because you only have to worry once a day" when I said schools should just email?

Some people can't keep their opinions straight.
