ok, it's Friday and no mail for me so... I'm gonna get ready for a ding/WL email this weekend. That being said, I want all you guys to know that even if you get an email, you will be accepted to other schools. It's so early in the process and having one school out might actually be nice, cause it's one less thing to worry about and narrows down your the vast # of places you could end up, which personally caused me a lot of anxiety.

I personally understand that the adcoms are pressured by rankings and need the #, but I will still be disappointed if I just get a flat out ding. Same goes for my feelings about some of the people I've met here- you guys are awesome! Keep it up and good news will come! I do, however, think that GULC is more # focused on the spectrum of (top) schools, so don't let this one decision (if it's negative) discourage you !!

But there's no mail from anyone, even in DC today so don't get down, plus they said they don't send emails out on weekends so we will find out saturday or monday. I think we have a shot, let's not become pessimistic peggys

I'm all for staying optimistic. Thats usually what gets me through things like these. But there are some clear signs that we simply aren't getting admitted if we went DR on 12/1. MANY people with DR on 11/30 got their letters within 1 or 2 days. Don't you think its a little odd that not a single person has gotten anything who went DR on 12/1? Not one single person. Obviously they can get letters out within a day or 2 if they intend to do so. And even if they were slow, the people in the DC area would have something by now. So I hope they get that rejection/WL email out as soon as possible just so we don't have to wonder and worry any more. Like I said, I'd love to stay optimistic, but I'm not sure what sign there is that could possibly lead me to believe that there will be an acceptance coming from G-Town.

My prediction: Welcome to the first wave of dings.

I stand by me and what I had to say.

Maybe for the RDers, but I believe the EDers have a shot still. Think about it. Letters probably didn't go out until 12/2 or 12/3. It takes time for the admissions committee to but acceptances in envelopes address them correctly and send them all out. It probably didn't happen till yesterday...

I sure hope you are right. I thought I had a good chance at G-Town, and its hard for me to accept that my dream of going there could be over very soon. I applied to a few T14 schools and thought that G-Town may have been my only realistic shot at the T14 aside from Cornell.

i absolutely refuse to believe that every single person that went dr on 12/1 has been rejected. this may be denial in its infancy but i just cannot believe that everybody is getting rejected. there are some people who may have unfavorable fates but I cannot believe that everyone is being rejected. i'm a urm with a 168 lsat, went dr 12/1. i would think they would give it a little more consideration (after 4 weeks of review) before they rejected me. other people on here have some impressive stories (i couldn't imagine having to go through multiple surgeries and getting a 4.0, robin). to me this may be a mixed batch but i don't believe everyone is getting rejected.

ask me how my optimism is doing in 72 hours.

Thats a point that keeps running through my head as well. There seemed to be a TON of URM's and splitters amongst those who went DR on 12/1. I also cannot see them rejecting so many highly qualified URM applicants because high URM scores are very hard to come by. Ugg, every time I feel like its over, another part of me tells me there is reason to hope, and so goes this never-ending cycle. Hope this ends soon one way or the other.

Here is a question that may be a little bit off-topic...

How many schools actually send decisions to your listed permanent address rather than your listed current address? I just got a scare because my parents just got a PO Box a month or so ago, and any mail listed to my street address could be returned to sender. I don't want to not get a notification because of this or, god forbid, get accepted and then have that turned into a rejection due to a return to sender... I'd probably have to e-mail each of the many schools that I applied to in order to update that information, too...

[vasiok]

Well, no email so far... This is getting weird.

[acecrusher06]

it's gonna be acceptances!

[jk11287]

I think you're probably right about URM getting in this cycle, a lot of URM applicants have really good numbers.

But according to LSN, nobody with my numbers (169/3.2) got in ED last year

[sotomayor]

last year isn't this year.

here's one for optimism: the dean could be waiting to finish writing his special notes on all of our acceptances before sending them out.

[beckstar]

i really want you gulc, just do me already, so i can have the kid before i start in the fall.

You just took the desperate/crazy lover joke to a whole other level.

[gwuorbust]

Any EDers UR by 11/11 NOT get DR yet?

Yeah.

3rd that.

I think that we have been auto deferred. I am registered for the LSAT tmrw so that is why I think I've been deferred. Anyone else in the same boat?

[Philaw]

In other news, I totally support Robin's optimism, and I'm on board that ship, in addition to the USS: Already Applied but no Acceptances Yet.

[autumn80]

Hell yeah. Considering the number of good softs in this group, Dean Andy is probably writing a novel for every acceptance letter he's sending out.

This is an amazing and realistic spirit lifter. I love you.

Are you PT ED or FT?

[jon6]

FT ED here

[vasiok]

It is a valid theory for acceptance notes.... Given the increasing number of applicants...
