Yes, I've withdrawn before admitted to places I wouldn't consider. So if you're sure you're going to Harvard and there's nothing Michigan can do to lure you away from Harvard then withdraw.ds.princess wrote:congrats!
Also got the weird email.. didn't know what to think of it...
but i just got into harvard law and plan to withdraw from michigan if admitted. does anyone know if its possible to withdraw before they make a decision? i don't want to get in the way of someone else's admit
See, my point about the email was that it means for those of us who did not get it, I believe a rejection is in the works in the short future. Could it really be so arbitrary that an email explaining to keep our hopes up would be sent out to the applicant pool or random?TMC116 wrote:yup.Cav3d wrote:TMC, Congrats!

Usually just a one-line e-mail.ds.princess wrote:JoeMo wrote:Yes, I've withdrawn before admitted to places I wouldn't consider. So if you're sure you're going to Harvard and there's nothing Michigan can do to lure you away from Harvard then withdraw.ds.princess wrote:congrats!

Be sure to include your LSAC #thelong wrote:Usually just a one-line e-mail.ds.princess wrote:JoeMo wrote:Yes, I've withdrawn before admitted to places I wouldn't consider.

Can anyone shed some light on why it would be a risk to wait until later to send in an LOCI?hobojarpen wrote:Debating between whether I should send in a LOCI in response to this email or wait until I'm waitlisted (a risk) to send it in. I'm heavily leaning towards the former.
I think Hobo is hoping that sending in a LOCI now will give him that boost to get accepted vs. rejected. If he waits until he gets waitlisted he might get rejected instead thus losing out altogether.oldad wrote:Can anyone shed some light on why it would be a risk to wait until later to send in an LOCI?hobojarpen wrote:Debating between whether I should send in a LOCI in response to this email or wait until I'm waitlisted (a risk) to send it in.

I agree. Plus, with this e-mail.. it seems like everyone is chomping at the bit to send LOCI. This might overwhelm the adcomms and any one particular LOCI might not get the attention it deservesJoeMo wrote:I think Hobo is hoping that sending in a LOCI now will give him that boost to get accepted vs. rejected.

However, I think it's all a bit paranoid. You send in a LOCI when you get waitlisted. I doubt that would be the one thing that would make the adcom say "let's take them".
That seems to be likely. Do we think the same would be true of submitting a Why Mich if there wasn't one accompanying the original app?msblaw89 wrote:I agree.

Same! E-mail yesterday, but ASW still redirected me to status checker this morning!msblaw89 wrote:I want some love!
+1. Got the email yesterday and got in today. So much stress for nothing, I'd definitely suggest people hold off on LOCIs. Glad I did.kitkat450 wrote:in!!! Shocked. Got the email yesterday tooo....
