They may be looking more holistically, but I agree that they don't seem to be looking down on retakes. I only took the LSAT once and I haven't heard anything yet. I really, really hope I get in. I'm even still scheduled to retake the LSAT in June to try for a 180 if I'm waitlisted, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.

No! HLS is not being more holistic in admissions because they haven't taken me - duh! Or, better yet, maybe I'm being YPed.
And everything Peter North says is factual and logical. No idea why you guys are so rude to him...

Rooting for you man. I hope you get in and you end up in my section.

Rooting for you, too - even though we're sorta competition. You definitely deserve a seat.

I think MdM is already in? I might be wrong though. If she is in, root for me instead : D

(I basically retook the LSAT for HLS because SLS wouldn't look at my score unless I reapplied next cycle).

Yeah I think he was seconding my rooting for coalto. I'm a guy btw. And I am also rooting for you Invisiblesun. Basically for me, if you have love for harvard beyond the name and see the good things it has to offer I want you to get in and be in my class. You retook the LSAT for H, then I truly hope you get in.

Sorry for assuming your gender; your handle is deceiving : P. And yes, I really like HLS beyond the name. I think people have a tendency to assume that greater exclusivity means greater excellence, and I like that Harvard Law defiantly bucks that trend (by enrolling a larger class than YLS or SLS when they could probably afford to make the class smaller). I definitely also like the idea of having a lot of classmates to meet, a selection of clubs to join, and a more overall social environment than smaller schools like YLS and SLS. Moreover, Cambridge >>>>> New Haven (and also > Palo Alto as far as social life, but one can't deny the awesome weather of the SF bay area.)

So should I believe anything on this board today?

Cute thread title change. Let's see some more April Fool's mayhem...

Heh. Wonder if schools avoid rendering any decisions on April 1st.

Oh and P.S., Coal, I really hope you're kidding about the retake. If you aren't, stop considering it. I think even a 180 after a 179 would cause schools to wonder about you (in a negative way).

I doubt they think that much into it. Who changed the thread title btw?

Probably the head honcho Ken himself...it's not just the thread title, anytime someone types H@rvard it comes out as: Harvard

edit: Notice how whoever put in this script (presumably Ken) made ones for H@rvard, Y@le, and even D.uke before STTTanford

[tomhobbes]

Well, Ha[strike][/strike]rvard certainly isn't Ya[strike][/strike]le.

You're my favorite TeeLS'er now. I can't wait to see you in Cambridge next year.

Awww shucks... although your optimism might be unfounded : P

[BioEBear2010]

That's because I couldn't think of a good one for Stanford. (other than "Not YLS") If you got some ideas, let me know! This will only last today!

Cal State Palo Alto? University of Taco Bell at Palo Alto?

[invisiblesun]

Hm...I'm not sure, doing something like Palo Alto Community College was already done with Yale...but not that many people know that Stanford is actually Leland Stanford Junior University...so you could make a joke based off that? It's late and my idea engine is not revving...



Edit: Hawkeye's name change of STTTanford turns my post into an epic fail

Cal State Palo Alto? Very nice. Hawk is highly awesome, and I'm so glad to be a 1L at Fordham.

[tomhobbes]

I think both St[strike][/strike]anford and Ha[strike][/strike]rvard should just be known as Not Ya[strike][/strike]le. That's really what they are, isn't it?

[APimpNamedSlickback]

what the hell is happening here? the yale thread should be renamed "not h.l.s. 2010"


yale?
i like the new name.

harvard

OMG I AM FREAKING OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?

[APimpNamedSlickback]

prestigious, no?

NOO, I AM SOOOO CONFUSED. MY WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. HELP?

You should ask Huey Freeman for help

It's ok. It's only april fools. I love Haahvard, so so much.

[lt0826]

I am confident in my conjecture that at some point in April, JR will just shout out "F*CK IT"... scatter the remaining apps across the floor, and send out universal acceptance emails to everyone who hasn't heard back at this point.

HEH = this may be my best shot to get in. Hope you are right
