SW should have sent out these 160+ acceptances back in December and at this point should be sending out median acceptances. pretty ridiculous that 1 and a half months before first deposits are due, SW is sending out acceptances to reach students.

Also, last year there were 125 ppl listed under sw on lsn this year there are 67 (yes, I counted, but at least I'm at work getting paid). Also, someone else who is not showing up on the list got admitted today it says they applied 1/5 with a 154/3.54
Are you this annoying in person, or is it a case of cyber-Aspergers? Your behavior in this thread is totally unacceptable. First the homophobia, then the inappropriate threats, (both under a different account, I see) and now bashing people who want to go to SWL (which is most of this thread) as well as people from Los Angeles?

if your gay and that is a big factor, then ucla is perfect for you...they have a whole queen center that focuses on issues like prop 8.

Exhibit Two: balkibartakamoose wrote:

Exhibit Three: the only reason they would go to SW is cause of a scholarship and not cause they really love the school.

Exhibit Four: in this market and region (LA I mean where name means everything)

One and two speak for themselves.

Three is SW bashing because it's asserting that no one with a 160+ LSAT would go to the school because they love it.

Four is LA bashing because it insinuates that Angelenos are superficial.

aaah, sorry I forgot about that guy. Looks like he's back from his ban. But I don't think the last two are inciting any issues, maybe the punishment worked?

I see someone else was accepted on lsn they have a 156/3.42, but they're not showing up on the sw list bc they're not verified ( I don't get why some ppl aren't)...but when you click school and then the application updates tab that's where you can see these ppl who updated recently.

w
A generic acceptance letter that stated there was an invitation to the champagne brunch this saturday (but it wasn't even in there), some brochures about their clinics/programs/study abroad opportunities, guide to living in LA, roommate search form, deposit form. Kind of gave me an impression that this round of acceptances was really hastily put together and sent out because of the brunch event being this saturday. Maybe that's why no one hasn't really heard about scholly info. One of the LSN profiles said they heard scholly info would be sent out "soon."

Thanks for posting this.

I expected some sort of scholarship and was considering withdrawing after receiving the admission packet without one.

I'll hold out for a few weeks and see what happens....

It's most likely a mass email. I've already been admitted to SCALE and I go the same email

Ha, you're one of only two people who have understood the meaning of my username. I'm not Jewish but you seem to know your Hebrew. The scholarship event is on April 6, so maybe we'll see scholarships go out before then.

And I also got that SCALE interview invite today. It got mailed to me twice.

Did you all put down SCALE as one of your choices? This is worrying me...I didn't get the e-mail, but then again I didn't rank scale as one of my preferences
