Well this doesn't bode well.

I'm clinging to Kim's idea. She was already admitted so she knows.... gtown doesn't do the seat deposit update thing?

and im clinging to sibs optimism

if we all cling to each other maybe instead of sinking with the ship we'll... float. how buoyant are you guys? I think it's legalease who is the most floaty... you've got high stats right?

oy i don't remember. i didn't try until i got my letter, and i requested a password and it took a little while. i don't think it ever said it couldn't be generated. i think there were others here who tried and couldn't login and got accepted, but i could be wrong. now you're making me doubt!

[sibley]

not to incite a riot, but, LSN shows numbers around you guys as WL...

we know. but there are a FEW who were accepted. and I think we're all hoping for good WL spots, as people have been getting in off it already.

[primusux]

Good luck guys, wish I could join you heh

I was able to request a password immediately after going DR, but I wasn't able to actually log in until the day after my letter had come. I have yet to see someone admitted who has explicitly said they weren't even able to request a password after DR. I am open to being proven wrong.

[dissonantdemon]

Did anyone who just got switched to DR today have an interview prior to this?

[smartblonde87]

DR - expecting rejection, hopeful for a waitlist. I could not generate a password or username either :/

My reject came before I even DRed, literally checked my status, went to a meeting and came back to find it. If anything, going DR with no immediate email could be a good sign. The rejects seem to come out fast.

Best of luck to you!

I had an alum interview 3/15 and my status still says Committee Requested Interview. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to update your status?

[dissonantdemon]

I can't remember when I had interview/when the status changed but I remember it took quite some time, like over a month if I remember right. I am thinking we are WL too, which would make me WL at half of the T14 at the moment, which is great but at the same time terrible for the nerves, best of luck everyone!

Yeah, I think we're most likely WL. At this point any decision rendered is going to be in the interests of rounding out the class, and other than age (30) and interesting WE (including management), I don't really have a whole lot going for me that's going to differentiate me from a lot of my peers.

well I think it's good news so far... it looks like the people who were dinged were informed nearly immediately...

I hope I'm not the bearer of bad news but my status changed to decision rendered last Wednesday and I didn't receive my rejection email until Friday afternoon. Just wanted you to know . . .

But best of luck to the both of you and all who are still waiting!

and let's add that you've got special softs so people don't freak over that lsat =P

[lynntm]

Coming on to this board way late, obviously! I'm a 164 / 3.2 with good softs, and my status checker changed from UR 2/12 to UR 3/23 at the same time everyone else's seemed to. I'm expecting a rejection but don't really understand why my application's been held on to for so long!

[Kim617]

just got to DC! so the area near here looks a little shady, but i haven't been to the school yet, so i'll let you know what i think!

the law school isn't in Georgetown. Its downtown, near Union Station. Kim, don't wander too far due north. The area around North Capitol north of Union Station is not so great, though a lot of people love the new bars and stuff on H st NE. Anything South and West of the school is great though. Since you like shopping I recommend strolling over to gallery place/chinatown (like 7th and H sts NW) and if you have time going to Georgetown proper (M st west of 24th).

edit: don't mean to sound alarmist. the first time i went to dc i got off the bus at the greyhound station, which at the time was in a not-so-great area north of union station and had a bad first impression of the city. been here 4 years and love it and almost always feel safe.

I visited the law school last week. The school itself is about three or four blocks from the capitol, and is in a perfectly fine area.

I was under the impression that georgetown isn't actually that far away from the law school/capitol/etc
