yeah seems like it.

Doubt they forgot about you but I'm going to go long and guess that something about your app was "iffy." Is one of your numbers below median? Are you a non-trad? Something else that would pop out?leefair123 wrote:well... 2/4 called today they lady was like ohhhh ill have the dean call you, then got an email from dean and complete 4/4... submitted aug-sept soooo..... not good i think they forgot about me at least thats what it sounded like.
lol! I think it just makes you look enthusiastic.Gemini wrote:I just felt kinda weird walking in at the end just to meet some people.
I was afraid of something like this happening to me, especially because the undergrad program I graduated from is so hard to explain to people (on top of having transferred out of a college that didn't give grades, etc.), etc. I think the saving grace for me was someone else that was in my program got into and went to Fordham (can we lovingly call it FU?) last year. I think it may have been possible that he went through explaining the program already and it was still somewhat in their mind. I would have loved to have seen all of the adcomms make sense out of my application materials.nygrrrl wrote:Doubt they forgot about you but I'm going to go long and guess that something about your app was "iffy."

I know that my (REALLY non traditional) application had them flummoxed - after being admitted, I heard that it went to committee and then back to Dean Brown's window sill repeatedly! - but take heart in that they are still trying to find a place for you. If they didn't WANT you, they would have rejected you long ago.
haha I was so tempted to ask about TLS didnt know what to say either though..."so...you TLS?aaaaaah wrote:Oh, I definitely stuck around to take full advantage of the open bar and delicious food. Seriously, what made that chicken so good?Gemini wrote:Were you there for the reception? I walked in at the end to meet a couple of TLSers.aaaaaah wrote:I thought it was a nice day. Didn't really learn anything new, but they fed us well, the company was great, and the current students and faculty/staff were incredibly friendly. That said, I do wish there had been more professors in attendance, especially considering the way the alumni raved about how accessible and dedicated Fordham's faculty is.Stringer6 wrote:so did everyone have fun at ASD?
Anyyway, not sure if I met anyone from TLS or not. Wasn't quite sure how to bring that up in conversation.
NICCCE LOL. I so want to meet Keri Hilson next year. Funniest thing is that she isn't URM. Or is she lol?Gemini wrote:Dude, TLS is a good way to bond IRL.
It IS weird when people ask "oh hey you know each other?" and the answer is basically "it's complicated."
This happened to me and Gotti this weekend at the ASD.

Sorry for being a Debbie Downer. Didn't mean that to be a discouragement.

I've been trying to figure out if you're Stringer Bell or the Borough Pres. I'm on the fence.Stringer6 wrote:haha. i'm not sure if i want to reveal my TLS identity at fordham. i want a place where i can be a complete asshole anonymously. but if anyone gets to know me my username will give it away.

mine was very generous, but my situation isn't typical.

Sheeeeit! Law school ain't no drug deal String. You don't put your money on the street and have it come right back. It don't work like that. Patience, my man.
