May 1st. But they don't have a monetary deposit and I don't think it's legally binding in any way, just a show of good faith

Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Hmm, Steve

Excellent choice. I would have gone the less original Phil Collins route.

Epic.
164/2.7. White guy. I'm guessing they must have loved my WE, Personal Statement, and LORs.

no. they want you to pay tuition at some point, though.
Also, there is a national database of double-depositors and they crack down hard on those that are deposited at other places while still holding a spot at Wisconsin.

Anyone hear any word on the WL yet?

I need to get off TLS and LSN. Being on the wait list, I cringe every time I see someone accept an offer and cheer when someone withdraws. It's an emotional roller coaster...

Thanks

But I now did myself in a similar situation as yourself. Kent made me an offer I can't refuse while I wait to hear from my reaches...

Just tossing my reject in. 156/2.6 (3.6), so it was no surprise. It was the only school I applied to anyway. Good luck to those still waiting, congrats to those who got in. Wish me luck for next year.

Decided to stay at home and take a large scholarship from Chicago-Kent.

Just withdrew. Opens up a spot and about $60k of scholarship money. Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know why the clerkship placements for UW are so low? Is it a self-selection thing?

Everyone at T14's who can't get biglaw jobs are taking clerkships from the rest of Tier 1 schools.

It is certainly not a self-selection thing.

I saw some people on here saying that they emailed asking for an answer if possible (obviously in a tactful manner) and the next day they were admitted. Any thoughts on this? Saying something like "I was wondering if a decision would be made on my file this week because I have a deposit due on Monday at my back-up school" ... something along those lines?
