And, of course, congratulations! CLS is super stingy, so anything is a mark of distinction.
LOL, probably exactly their thought process :P

And re: stinginess, holy hell yeah. I only found this URM with a Hamilton last year so if that's what they're looking for I understand why I was passed by.

I've been MIA in here, but I've been throughly creeping. Congratulations to everyone with acceptances and scholarships and to LC for the royal sweep of HYS! That's so awesome. This thread has been such a source of encouragement and inspiration and the journey is far from finished. I'm looking forward to seeing all the great things the people in this thread will achieve this cycle.

I like the idea of doing this poll but a lot of people ITT are applying to SEO so I assume summer plans are up in the air for many right now.

Ideas:
- Housing preferences (student housing, rent, at home, roommate, etc)
- Interest in ECs (BLSA/LALSA/etc, Law Review, Specialized Journals, Student Gov, etc)
-

Yeah, tried to make a list, but I couldn't think of anything. Now it's time for bed. Goodnight!

I like the EC interest idea. I feel like it's always cool to know what sorts of things people are interested in. And it would be good to know that other people are not planning to spend three years locked in the library.
