Well independent of all of the K-H craziness, last year's first acceptance went out in December and then January the two years before that so all bets are off in that regard.Ron.Swanson wrote:Yup, I got that part.

It's highly unlikely but possible to be a K-H finalist then 1) not be selected as a recipient and then 2) dinged, or 1) dinged then 2) be precluded from being a recipient. As evidence, the following is from the K-H website timeline (in the Application Requirements section):Ron.Swanson wrote:Anyone hear what the deal is yet for non k-h finalists getting notifications from the law school? It would be nice if we could hear back by January.
My read (and only my read) is this: If you're a K-H finalist, you're not dinged. When they select their pioneer class (after immersion weekend), those within that class will get acceptances at the same time. If you're not a K-H recipient, that's not dispositive of whether or not you'll be in. Capiche?Winter 2018: we’ll select and notify the pioneer class of Knight-Hennessy Scholars in mid-February 2018. Departments also will contemporaneously notify applicants selected as Knight-Hennessy Scholars of admission to the graduate program.

Re: Stanford Law Applicants c/o 2021
Looks like last year the first string of acceptances came out December 16 - 20. Think that means we can expect some movement before the holidays, or are K-H deliberations going to mess up the timeline and push the first regular wave back a bit? Insider info and wild speculation are both welcomed.

Re: Stanford Law Applicants c/o 2021
Speculating the same: anticipating that those who applied in September will hear first, based on last year. October applicants will likely hear in January.gayfish wrote:Looks like last year the first string of acceptances came out December 16 - 20.

Definitely interesting to see how the mechanics of the process work out, especially since K-H is in its first year.

Re: Stanford Law Applicants c/o 2021
Totally agree. Since K-H looks at your SLS app and seems to communicate with admissions, I would expect that they're not going out on a limb for someone to be a Finalist that SLS isn't slightly keen on. There's also this weird dynamic where you may have submitted K-H on time, but not your application because it still needs tweaking, need to retake LSAT, etc. Lots of intangibles.KENYADIGG1T wrote:EDIT: I hope we know in time how much of the SLS applicant pool applied to K-H.KENYADIGG1T wrote:My bit of (biased and optimistic) wild speculation is that if you're a K-H finalist, there's a pretty significant chance you're going to be in SLS (saying nothing about whether or not you'll get K-H).

Checking in. Stanford is my heart's top choice.
Apparently I'm one of the few who wrote the optional essay about the one-day class. It was the first prompt that inspired what felt like a uniquely personal response to and I'm happy enough with it.

That's the one I actually had the easiest time coming up with an answer for, across all of my applications pretty much. Hopefully that's good...lol.

Re: Stanford Law Applicants c/o 2021
I wrote mine about a non-legal topic that I have a bit of expertise in and think knowing about could improve the lives of my fellow students. Was it supposed to be about a legal topic? I messed up if it is. Anyway I think the admissions team is looking for thoughtful answers and not just uniqueness and all four questions allow for that. If you took it seriously I'm sure you did a good job.etramak wrote: I agree that this was the prompt that gave applicants the most opportunity to show off what makes them unique, but I just couldn't come up with a topic. I mean sure there are things that I could pull from my background or interests and turn it into a class but I don't know enough about the law to make it sound good. Perhaps I took it too seriously though!
I haven't seen many other people talk about this question online so I'm assuming it's less popular. I'm making the kind of inference the LSAT warned us about. Hopefully I'm right answering the class question being rare and it's an advantage for us haha.andysimbi wrote: How do you know you're one of the few?

Re: Stanford Law Applicants c/o 2021
It didn't have to be about a legal topic! I wanted to write that one on top of the three songs essay, but I felt the most natural topic for me would be too close to my diversity statement.fohner wrote:I wrote mine about a non-legal topic that I have a bit of expertise in and think knowing about could improve the lives of my fellow students.

Checking in!
Is it just me or is SLS faster than most at getting applications to review? Only submitted last week but went complete and under review today. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on some other schools to go complete from weeks ago
Good luck to all the K-H folks, wish I had gotten my act together in time to apply!

what's the advice on how many optional blurbs to write for the short answer questions? Ugh! They're annoying.
