Congrats to everyone with the acceptances. It's so nice to be in the presence of excellence!

Quick question: I'm sending out all of my apps this weekend, but I'll also be retaking the LSAT in February for a few schools. I'm concerned that all schools will see my pending score and wait to offer me admission. ( I did pretty decently in December but I know I can push out a few more points next months)

Definitely just shoot them an email or write an addendum asking them not to hold your app for your retake. They might anyway but you could try.

sounds like maybe.

i wonder what the correlation is between acceptance and why penn, after controlling for numbers. based on current data it appears to be HUGE.

a pretty silly policy imo, as i bet the correlation between why penn and matriculation is significantly weaker, provided they don't literally auto-ding everyone without it.

Damnnnnn that's some sweet sweet resume music.

Also why a Vandy reject? Did you check Fedex for a package?

Fedex Manager doesn't work for my address, I called earlier. And no one I've seen that went DLS yesterday has received a Fedex message.

Don't give up hope. Took 40~60 hours to show in FedEx and to get a message after I went DLS. Damn Fedex not covering your area though. :(
