You're the absolute first. This has never happened before and will never happen again.

It happens a lot. Every admissions office has its idiosyncrasies, and people who resemble your general profile might, for whatever reason, be overrepresented among applicants at one school and underrepresentated at another.

You should consider writing a letter to the lower school's admissions office and inform them of your acceptance at a superior institution.

I'm keeping my rejection letter from michigan and whenever I get my highest acceptance letter I'm gonna frame them together... I'm not bitter or anything...

Straight reject or wait list? Unless it's Berkeley a straight reject would be kind of weird

Depending on your numbers, which T6, and which low T14, it could actually be unsurprising

Depending on your stats, it could be yield protection.

I don't think Ivy is a really useful distinction when talking about law schools.

I think OP is using Ivies to hint at which schools are at play here, not to rank them according to their ivy status. I assume Cornell/Penn rejected, while Harvard/Columbia (more likely Columbia) accepted. If OP is a splitter, this would not be too surprising, though it would still be very unusual if its Cornell and Columbia we're talking about.

Those are real Ivies.

Ha, well, Penn is. Cornell is hmmmm, sort the of the ugly sister, Jersey to NYC if you will.

All the ivies are ivies. If you want to argue about which ones are more prestigious, go for it, but it seems an unhelpful thing to worry about for picking a school. I don't see people turning down Stanford or UVA because they're not ivies.

I took it that by "quasi" OP was taking a shot at those ivies and their relative rank among the ivy leagues.

it is weird to be this bitter

I got rejected from a lot of lower-ranked schools and into CCN. It happens.

They are legit Ivys based on their sports conference but that's the only playing field they share with HY and C

It doesn't make any sense to try to distinguish Columbia from Penn at the UG level, which is where the Ivy label really matters. If you insist on breaking down the Ivy League into tiers, the vast majority are putting Columbia and Penn in the same one.

If you’re looking to frame rejections and acceptances, wait until you’re turned down by dozens of inconsequential law firms and then hired by Latham or the like.

I had plenty of friends who were able to transfer to Georgetown, but rejected from many T20s.

Yes, because the contrast between "inconsequential law firms" and a consequential law firm like Latham is so striking.
