PSA: Do not post your acceptance letter on Facebook Forum

[Mad Hatter]

It's douchy. Don't do it.

[Grazzhoppa]

Don't warn them. I like to make judgments on the people that do this.

[helix23]

What if I want people to think I'm douchey?

Then wait until you can post your A-range grades.

half of TLS forum posts are douchey... if we disallow that and insecurity, you'd be down to only "cool avatar bro" posts

it's what makes it all so fun, cus there's so many of us...

[rad lulz]

Wait until you get your $160k OCI offer instead.

I didn't do it, but I don't see anything douchey about it personally. What's wrong with someone sharing their excitement? It's no different than posting a picture of your new car or your wedding ring on FB. Should you not do that since some of your friends may not be getting married or are using public transportation? Some of you guys need to stop being so insecure. Seeing something like this as douchey screams of either insecurity and/or envy.

TOO LATE. i've never been happier to go back to school and get out of my dead end shithole minimum wage job. of course i'm gonna post it.

i'll also post pictures of my new dog on facebook, as well as instagram pictures of my food and booze.

The judgments should be made on those with such weak character that they are unable to be happy for another person's success.

Everyone fails in life at some point. As mature adults, we all have to accept that we failed and be happy for those that succeeded where we did not.

Hey now, those happen to be my favorite type of posts.

Posting on Facebook is nowhere near as fun as telling people in real life about dat TOP-LAW-SCHOOL acceptance (or so I imagine)

[helix23]

I did it, but only once. Posting ALL my letters would be douchey and annoying.

[moonman157]

The only thing cooler than being the guy who got into a top law school is being the guy who got into a top law school and acted like it was nothing.

Ok, so there are cooler things to be, but you get the idea

There are kids who post every single acceptance. To me, the only acceptable law school admissions statuses are 1) non-specific "got into law school" with a sarcastic comment about how foolish they were to accept you, and 2) the school you ultimately go to with as "school x class of 2030!"

this. for the school i'm attending. posting one every time you get accepted WOULD be douchey.

Make sure to tag your friends that didn't get accepted in the post so they can share in your happiness.

Ya pretty simple

summary of this thread's consensus: post the acceptance to the school you're attending on your own fb wall, and then the acceptances to the schools you're not attending on walls of friends who didn't get into that particular school.

i feel like this combo method is effective and personalized, and shows great attention to detail.

it's cooler to not add it and then have something to talk about at your high school reunion.
hope that helps, please vote for me

I don't trust new leaf helpful Laxbrah. Something is afoot.

Who gives a shit?

It's exciting for a lot of different reasons. Not everyone can be a cynical and jaded TLSer.

Whats the fucking point? Sounds like a hassle to upload a letter to brag about on facebook.

[suralin]

Uploading an acceptance letter shows too much time spent. You want to just convey your excitement, not how much time you spent thinking about how to impress your Facebook friends. I'd think a simple status would signal enough without being overly douchey--as long as it's your dream school of course. E.g.,
