We hear that you are thinking about law school! While you are researching your options, I hope you will consider Ave Maria School of Law, located in sunny Naples, on Florida's Paradise Coast. Today's high temperature is 82 degrees! "

i thought my spam was special
Damn! :lol: Didn't even notice this! There are so many of these coming through LSAC my immediate response is: scroll to bottom, unsubscribe, send to trash.
Unsubscribe does not seem to work with Liberty university. :x

I'm convinced that shitlaw schools could put their talents to good use by selling their emailing services to companies, instead of trying to rob people of their future.

I wonder how many TTT emails I'm up to now. I'd count but that would probably take hours :lol:

Don't know if any of you are Beckett/Godot fans, but if you are, you might appreciate this gem from my friend.

Damnit, THEBUTLER, you can't just update a Harvard rejection on LSN without posting any kind of dates, but since you uploaded three schools at once I'm gonna assume you didn't get it today.

Haha yeah, I'm in the same boat :P

I'm sure those numbers will drop, and once we have a full year of data at the end of the cycle (hopefully with all of our numbers included in the accepted pile) it will be more useful for the future.

Congrats to all the JS2s. At what point does a JS1 become unlikely? Complete for close to a month now...

I believe multiple people in this thread got their JS1 invites 4 or 5 weeks after going complete. Recently there was a September applicant who got a JS1 invite, but they are a URM and I'm not sure if that makes their case different.

I went complete on 12/7 and didn't get an interview until 1/28

I don't know if I could handle a JS2 wave and Season 2 of House of Cards happening all in the same day. :shock:
