Re: University of San Francisco 2011
So would they actually pull applicants of the WL before reviewing all of the applications?!SFnative wrote:Who have heard NOTHING ....KiraMarie wrote:Do you mean from the Waitlist or is that for the people who haven't heard anything at all?SFnative wrote:I just spoke with a super nice admissions rep. who told me that the committee has been working slowly and those who have yet to hear a decision, it looks like its gonna take up to another 2 WEEKS!,

WTF, I just got an e-mail saying that I was admitted. However, I was WL a few months ago and never turned in the form saying that I wanted to stay on the WL.

Re: University of San Francisco 2011
That's odd. Maybe send them an email to let them know to you're not interested? It might help those who are on the WL and who actually want in.gokickrocks wrote:WTF, I just got an e-mail saying that I was admitted.

The email is long, but here are the main points of interest:mab85 wrote:I didn't get it either...KiraMarie wrote:I didn't get that message..... what exactly did it say?orachelo wrote:People on the WL--did you get the WL update that was sent today via email around 11:50?

"At this time, the Admissions Committee has decided to make additional admission offers from selected waitlisted applicants. The Admissions Committee will begin re-evaluating the waitlist pool this week. The re-evaluation process will take an additional three weeks and we expect to make approximately 75 admission offers (day and evening combined)."
BLAH BLAH BLAH
"Please note that once the re-evaluation process has concluded and all admission offers have been made, I will send an update to all remaining waitlisted applicants (not selected for admission) indicating when we may be able to make additional admit offers from the waitlist. I expect that another update will be sent no earlier than May 20."
and then a paragraph in all bold...
"Because the re-evaluation process is extremely time consuming and comprehensive, I ask that you refrain from making unnecessary calls to the Law Admissions Office druing the re-evaluation process as we would like to conclude the re-evaluation process as quickly as possible. All the information that you will need to know at this time has been outlined in this email. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated."
...here's to hoping for good news!!

Oh I see. The 2nd round of email was for the ones going to be waitlisted. Since we were already waitlisted, we didn't get it again. =)risktaker wrote:It just means that we already got the email, so we did not receive it again.uopsu wrote:I got a similar email weeks ago as well but not this time...I wonder what that means for me and others who didn't get the emails =(

Re: University of San Francisco 2011
Hi folks,
Yesterday I had the chance to hang out with a bunch of USF 3Ls and 2Ls who served on the moot court board, as they celebrated the end of the year at a bar near the school. I listened to them discussing bar prep, upcoming fellowships, favorite professors, etc., for about three hours. They may have been a unique bunch of students, but I was amazed by the network of support and camaraderie that they all had for each other, the school, and a wide-eyed prospect like myself. Several of them had done some really amazing public interest externships while in school, most notably the Keta Taylor Colby Death Penalty project, in which students are sent into several regions in the South to work on actual cases with civil rights attorneys. The person who invited me had worked in Mississippi in the program, worked with a prominent civil rights attorney in the bay area, and had just been accepted for a year long fellowship with the Innocence Project after graduation.
I listened for the inevitable discussion of "ohmygod how are we going to find jobs," but it never happened. No one seemed worried about finding work (or at least they weren't talking about it), and most of them had something lined up after graduation. All of them were very proud of the school, and enthusiastically encouraged me to choose USF over Hastings as long as I plan on staying in California to practice, and really-and-truly intend to focus on public interest (both of which, I do.) They cited the fact that USF is a much more intimate learning environment, has produced more judges, strongly encourages PI work, etc. Anyway, it was a really good review of the school. Hope this is useful to someone!

Don't lose hope. It says they average LSAT scores, but I still think they put a large amount of weight towards your highest score. I was admitted with my average score being well below the 25th but my highest being at the medianSFnative wrote:Just checked got my DR 5/11, too bad I know its gonna be a rejection b/c they average LSAT scores .....

Thanks, just in a shitty mood considering the last couple of decisions have been WL's, I know at least they are not rejections, but you reach a point where you can't help but get frustrated.SoCow wrote:Don't lose hope.

I was in via WL last Friday. I withdrew my application today. Hope it opens up a spot for someone else. Good luck! In with a 153/3.7 (tier 1 undergrad).
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
