if you have a fee waiver, i really don't understand why you're not throwing your hat in the ring.

I still have to pay for the LSAC fee for the schools, so it's not totally free and it adds up.vzapana wrote:if you have a fee waiver, i really don't understand why you're not throwing your hat in the ring.

$21 actually.

I'd try. I had to deal with those LSAC fees too, and they sucked, but it might be worth it in the end. I think Yale really does take a holistic approach, so it's worth it if you have strong softs. Someone got in with a 166 already.teiswei wrote:$21 actually.

From what I've heard, URM's have a pretty unpredictable cycle. I would definitely go for it if I were you, if nothing else to know you tried. URM's have gotten in with below your scores, and its a down cycle in terms of applicantsbfigsan wrote:I'm trying to decide whether or not I should throw in an app to YLS.

167, 3.78, URM (PR), pretty good soft factors, fee waiver (but I don't think that matters).
Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, yes it is. Also, your effort is now my motivation to finish this task. Thank you!carboncopyx wrote: I said that about yesterday! And then... I wound up with 277 words. This 250 is harder than a 1000-word essay...

Haha. Except jselson's is at least somewhat doable, although marginally. The lunar program's been discontinued.Doorkeeper wrote:I really want to be an astronaut and walk on the moon, so here's to hope.jselson wrote:I really want to do an SC clerkship after law school, so here's to hope.

And outside the top 500? that really peaks my curiosity as to where you went to.
Oh, it will be though.sabanist wrote:
Really though, I was starting to lose hope, thinking it would be a class full of Ivies and/or flawless softs. This is exciting.
