So how long do they give you guys to make a decision? And is the decision yes?

If you got a 169, maybe they'll take both of us and keep their 170 median.jks289 wrote:Ha, indeed.tommytahoe wrote:I should also say that jks and I have by far the hottest avatars on this thread. That should count for something.
I have (finally) all but convinced myself that getting a 169 instead of a 170 didn't ruin my life. But I have a feeling based on who is getting pulled that they are trying their hardest to maintain that 170 median in both programs. Next week is going to be a looong week.
Hopefully they need some kind of GPA boost :/AdamatUCF wrote:If you got a 169, maybe they'll take both of us and keep their 170 median.jks289 wrote:Ha, indeed.tommytahoe wrote:I should also say that jks and I have by far the hottest avatars on this thread. That should count for something.

They gave until May 10th to put down a deposit, or else you can submit a letter that binds you to enroll.savesthedayajb wrote:So how long do they give you guys to make a decision? And is the decision yes?
My GPA ins't that hot either. (3.5) I thought my numbers were good for PT, but I don't really know how they are reacting to the new ranking rules. I'd imagine by trying to get the PT numbers to match the FT numbers as much as possible.savesthedayajb wrote:Hopefully they need some kind of GPA boost :/AdamatUCF wrote:If you got a 169, maybe they'll take both of us and keep their 170 median.jks289 wrote:Ha, indeed.tommytahoe wrote:I should also say that jks and I have by far the hottest avatars on this thread.

I'm sure you're good dude. Your numbers are competitive for full-time and there is no way they can match the standards with their PT program. If you want to get in, a LOCI that you spent a good 3 hours on or a really good LOR will probably make the difference... It seemed to work for me.jks289 wrote:

That's a good amount of time. I thought they'd allow 2-3 days off the WL.Xizenta wrote:They gave until May 10th to put down a deposit, or else you can submit a letter that binds you to enroll.savesthedayajb wrote:So how long do they give you guys to make a decision? And is the decision yes?
I kind of want to hear back from Northwestern before I do anything... but could give two shits about Cornell or any other school I apped to.
Nope, not yet, but congratulations to you and the others who did!Xizenta wrote:yours looks like an old fart. bet her boobs are saggy.tommytahoe wrote:I should also say that jks and I have by far the hottest avatars on this thread. That should count for something.
I wonder if encyc brown got in.
I sent in a full page LOCI and enumerated my reasons for wanting to attend PT. I spent a fair amount of time on it. I think it is probably too late for another LOR. So I am just hoping the LOCI is enough. Does anyone know how big the PT class is?Xizenta wrote:I'm sure you're good dude.

Isn't it usually around 150?jks289 wrote:I sent in a full page LOCI and enumerated my reasons for wanting to attend PT. I spent a fair amount of time on it.

Ya, I am curious about this as well. I am hoping the regular waitlist has a few seats for it set aside cause we are the cool applicants.lawapps0502 wrote:so is it safe to say at this point that people on the regular wait list are not getting in?

More on georgetown. I've included some old data from LSN and some update. The great news is they are still giving scholarships off of the WL.

75th GPA: 3.81 75th LSAT: 171
Median GPA: 3.7 Median LSAT: 168
25th GPA: 3.45 25th LSAT: 166
There doesn't seem to be any change in strategy here. They are still picking up people with LSATs equal to* or above the median and not accepting anyone with LSAT below the median. All the WL-->rejections are below the LSAT median. GPAs are all over the place.
* semangat N was accepted today with an LSAT score equal to the median. S/He is the lowest LSAT score accepted.
The fact that they are giving scholarships off of the waitlist is hopeful. I don't see any rhyme or reason behind who gets scholarships. Do you?

Congrats, dude.
Mine came a bit later, and out of the blue. I learned about my acceptance to GULC whilst visiting the campus. When I asked about merit monies, I was told that I wouldn't hear anything back until several weeks later (April 12th I believe). I received my scholarship info on March 25th, without having filled out the yellow form.holybartender wrote:Thanks man, I'm sure you'll get in.Encyclopedia Brown wrote:All by myseeeelf, don't wanna be... all by myself... anymore...holybartender wrote:Also in from the spwl.
Congrats, dude.
For people who got in off the waitlist and got scholarship money, was that included in the email you got? Or did it come later?
