URM 2016-2017 Cycle Thread Forum

They are looking at your app real hard. How many schools did you apply to? I applied to 16.

18 for me. given how unpredictable URM cycles can be I went all out lol

Busy morning... Dinged at HLS and Berkeley (more bummed about Berkeley than HLS) but in at ULCA and their Epstein. At least things are happening.

Congrats on the Epstein!

Thanks, I appreciate that, especially coming from you. Based on your stellar cycle I like to imagine myself as your law school app twin. But with a lower GPA. And LSAT. And I speak Japanese but I can't write Kanji. But other than that, identical twins.

That's the other difference. I'm old enough to have seen this movie when it came out.

I thought of applying to Vandy and UVA but I was like naw it's too late lol. Most of the places I applied to were reaches. I think I did pretty well.

I can't wait to close my cycle.

Same.

I've heard back about decisions from everywhere but now I'm waiting for scholarship info.

"Imagine you’re a deer. You’re prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water. BAM! A f—in’ bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask you: Would you give a f— what kind of pants the son of a b—- who shot you was wearing?!"

That's nice. I'm hoping Northwestern gives you some money so you can

Lol, you and me both. Idk when they'll release scholarship stuff though.

Depending on how much it is, I might have to use them as leverage for Michigan and see what they're willing to offer and then look for a counter-offer from Northwestern and see how the two compare. Hopefully that won't be the case though.

I wish I knew of TLS before I was applying. When I bombed the LSAT, I assumed that I would have to wait until next cycle and felt so discouraged with the whole process that I only applied to 4 schools (with 2 being safety schools).

I just realized I may never live in the eastern time zone again.

Weird. Lol.

I sent my negotiation email to USC last Monday. I'm hoping to get a boost lol.

Um, I don't see anything wrong with it. It'd be different if they skateboarded into the building or something extra, but plenty of people skateboard. It's faster than walking lol

If I saw someone jumping the stairs and grinding on rails riding a skateboard to class, I'd be more impressed than anything. I tried skateboarding once in high school and it was way harder than it looks.

Y'all I still have no acceptances. LOL. Two waitlists, some rejections, probably 8 schools left. Applied early January. Law schools: let me love you hahaha.

There is still time! I had all of my applications (except 1) in by mid-October and I still haven't heard back from everywhere. And I've heard back from at least 2 schools each month since November. Someone is probably reading and loving your app right now!!!!!
