Re: BYU 2012

Just got a fee waiver e-mail from BYU law. This late in the cycle makes me think it's just to pad their selectivity rating, but would "The Lord's" university do that?

Email them, ask to withdraw your app. No form or anything. (be sure to include your LSAC #)ilovehalusky wrote:Anyone know how to withdraw to free up a seat for someone else? I got an offer I couldn't turn down elsewhere.

No, thank YOU. Every person that withdraws increases my chances with my slightly-less-than-median numbers.ilovehalusky wrote:sweet thanks
I'm sorry to hear that, I'll probably be joining you soon. Did they tell you by e-mail?buddytyler wrote:Rejected. Oh well, I saw it coming. Good luck everyone.
Nope, snail mail. I figure they're trying to let you down easy, and that's why they set the status checker to "Decision Rendered" instead of "Rejected" or just sending you a rejection email.jenkswarrior wrote:I'm sorry to hear that, I'll probably be joining you soon.

If you seriously think that the actions of one person, or even a few people, are representative of BYU as a school, the culture of the people in Provo, or the quality of the education you can get there, then please withdraw your application so I can have a better chance of being accepted.YankeeFan2 wrote:And another reason to seriously consider spending time and tuition here:

Actually, these actions are representative of the school and its holier than thou atmosphere. Here is another one for you. When my sister went to law school at BYU, she actually had some of the spouses of her male classmates approach her and tell her that she should not be at BYU because she was "taking the spot of someone else's husband to be there [law school] and diminishing someone's chance to provide for their family."bulldoglaw wrote:If you seriously think that the actions of one person, or even a few people, are representative of BYU as a school, the culture of the people in Provo, or the quality of the education you can get there, then please withdraw your application so I can have a better chance of being accepted.YankeeFan2 wrote:And another reason to seriously consider spending time and tuition here:

I would LOVE to attend JRC Law school for its value.

Another thing to consider...... getting into BYU is not about your numbers, background, etc... It is all about "who you know" -- so having a few GA's that are family friends call the law school on my behalf helped with my acceptance.
Also, I am positive that I am not attending BYU -- but I am going to pay my full seat deposit just to fill up a spot until classes begin.
How convenient.YankeeFan2 wrote:Well, got the call today and offered a spot for the fall.
Don't worry. I won't be at BYU. But I am going to drop the money on the seat deposit -- just to fill up a space.austrascruff wrote:How convenient.YankeeFan2 wrote:Well, got the call today and offered a spot for the fall.
We all know it must be very hard for you to handle being rejected by BYU, so if it will make you feel better, please go ahead and send in that imaginary seat deposit and we'll all pretend to be upset. You keep pretending you got accepted and I'll go ahead and pretend you're at graduation. Hey, I'll even put down the deposit on your cap and gown. While we're at it, do you want me to go ahead and get your honors robes for your graduation, because I'm sure you'll graduate top of your class?!YankeeFan2 wrote:Don't worry. I won't be at BYU.

Don't know if you are envious or bitter that BYU isn't my best option. Really just trying to show people that you can get into a school with more than just your GPA and LSAT. Just saying.austrascruff wrote:We all know it must be very hard for you to handle being rejected by BYU, so if it will make you feel better, please go ahead and send in that imaginary seat deposit and we'll all pretend to be upset.

Agreed, at least he should fear. Be it known that I will personally notify BYU as well as other schools that you have stated interest in applying to of your identity though if you continue to make ludicrous statements on this thread.Wart wrote:^^^^
I agree that he is completely out of line, but outing someone is never cool. You should take your comment down.
