Ding e-mail just now. It was actually one of the best-worded rejections I've gotten.

Me too. A full 16 minutes before my Northwestern deposit was due. Ditto on the wording though. In all honesty I have become so enamored with Northwestern this really doesn't bother me the way I thought it would. "O Ding, where is thy sting?"jman77 wrote:Ding e-mail just now.

The red wave crashed on my shores today. "One ticket to Chicago-Dingville, please!" I guess it was worth a shot. Thanks for the memories, Chicago.

Dinged via the same benevolently-worded email.

Re: U Chicago 2010
Condolences for the bad news, folks. Can anybody say if the letter is as classy as Berkeley's was? They very nearly made me feel *good* about being rejected.

Ding via the nice e-mail. Fully expected, and I can't complain: I got three separate reviews when, purely by the the numbers, I should probably have been an auto-ding. 2-3 more LSAT points might have tipped it. Oh well.

Re: U Chicago 2010
After 5.5 months, waitlisted. I'm not surprised, although I am annoyed that they wasted my time waitlisting me once by mistake, then telling me that I was not in fact WL'ed and asking me to still submit a scholarship essay, then ultimately deciding to YP.
Cool beans. Good luck everyone.

I'm in the same boat, but you applied a month before I. Shit's wild.

You avoided the ding-fest yesterday. That might be a reason to breathe yesterday.

I hope it's more than "slightly" on the under enrollment!
But congrats on getting in! You know there are plenty of us who'd love that spot if you don't want it!

Waitlist. Knew I'd be going to NYU anyway, even if I got in.

I think a lot of it is the essays. I'm still in play there and I applied in December. I'm glad I'm still alive at this point.IAFG wrote:I don't get what makes them waitlist some people and ding others. Seems so arbitrary.
