They are both very competitive. You and everybody else are incredibly accomplished and I've heard that even little things can get you dinged (interviewers have to sort excellent people from excellent but less excellent people some kind of way).

The numbers I've read on RTK are 20 spots for 60 finalists. I don't know the numbers on Toll, but probably smaller given Penn's relative size.

Ha! I don't think this choice is going to land me in the next version of "Profiles in Courage", but I appreciate the congrats. I don't want to be a stranger, but it's hard to know how to engage with the TLS community now. I know where I'm going, so I have no news to report, and I haven't been to even a day of law school, so I have no experiences to share. I guess I'll just visit daily to offer congrats to everyone who gets more good news/settles on a school.

For sure man. Can't speak for everyone else but this last stretch is pretty white knuckle stuff. Gotta get that positivity going.

Waitlisted at Duke yesterday... it's gonna come down to Penn, Berk, and UVA barring a surprise dream admit. Chicago and Mich are out because of those nasty winters. Just not doing that for three years.

Anybody else got any news or gotten closer to a decision? And, hope ya'll enjoying those ASWs!
