I'm sure we will get a decision before the deposit deadline.

When is the deposit deadline?
April 15 I thought

This is super-much-belated, but I apparently got $45k. Was getting impatient... but I'm abroad and so far stuff has been taking 3-10 weeks to reach me via snail mail, so this came out in an email with the finaid office.

Is it true that Dean Zearfoss answered questions somewhere on this thread? Or somewhere else on TLS? If anyone knows what I'm talking about, could you point me towards it?

Dean Zearfoss wrote:Right before lunch we got a call from an irate, really angry woman. She identified herself as a neighbor of an applicant who recently received a rejection letter from us – but this applicant had been wait listed at Penn and admitted to Columbia.

Anyway, she was demanding to know how that could have happened. She wouldn’t tell us the name of the applicant we supposedly denied – and even if she had, of course, we wouldn’t have discussed her file or entertained a conversation with her. But why I bring this up, is because she kept saying over and over, “Whatever you tell me, I’m posting on Top-Law-Schools.com.” Really, she kept repeating this. What I find interesting is how she was beating us over the head with this, as an explicit threat.

Shouldn't that person be complaining to Penn about only getting a WL when the applicant was admitted to Columbia?

I like how that person ranked their schools exactly according to the school's actual rank lol. No loyalties or preferences, I like it.

lol I didn't agree with him picking 1 over the other, but I guess if you see the two schools as identical then the weather is the only tie-breaker.

Subtler Berkeley trolling. How do you know he didn't just do it alphabetically?

I guess reality trolls Berkley too, then. Also, it can't be alphabetically or else he would have picked Duke over NU for the #10 spot. Yet it can't be weather or anti-Chicago trolling either. I see no logic to his school selection.

Fair points. I concede.

Well played, secret Berkeley troll. But I'll be watching you.

Edit: Yes, I've been drinking and watching curling all day.

You must have me confused with a Californian, as they are the only ones who would possibly troll Berkeley. I've been doing a little curling of my own today aka swept my porch.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

P.S. Curling FTW!

Bad news strikes again.

Rejected from UMich, which I am attending right now as a master student.

Don't have the slightest idea why.

PS: numbers are 179(first time 167), undergrad abroad. Application sent mid Jan.

Well I submitted a diversity essay since I'm asian.

However, it's definitely not YP because I have very very low undergrad GPA(72/100), and my graduate score isn't that good either. I got the feeling that it is because of the GPA. But as low as my undergrad GPA is, they admitted me as a master student. Maybe graduate school and law school don't share the same principles. I really love AA, Umich, and this rejection hurts, a lot.

And now I'm really worried about my chances at other T14 schools.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
