Congrats ballcaps!!

Some (URM folks and nonURMs) have gotten Darrow invites, and some non-URM folks have gotten Dean's Scholarships to their email.

Me personally? Still waiting for Mich to throw me a bone (admitted on 11/21).

Yeah, it was definitely tiny compared to the massive beautiful bound admitted students volume that Cornell had waiting for me in the same mailbox. But, it was classy, kinda like someone's wedding invitation...inviting me to join the GULC class of 2018.

Back to Cornell, I cannot imagine how much these schools are spending on marketing materials. This book is NICE.

Yes, can we get a poll on how many people thought that was a ding?

In all seriousness, I'm always curious to see what people want to do with their law degree. This is probably a dumb poll idea, but something about that? PI, Biglaw or bust, politics, undecided, etc.

Poll is up! Sorry if the options aren't super inclusive...feel free to elaborate on your goals in the comments!

I have yet to be blessed with a response from Cornell :cry:

But Duke hooked me up with a pretty sick Lanyard and notepad haha. The GULC letter was small but definitely classy. I love me some parchment-type paper.
