Still waiting to hear from both. Submitted a month ago, so it hasn't been THAT long, and no news is good news, but still. Wait is killing me.

Waitlisted at Berkeley after FR :(

Still waiting to hear back from:

Harvard, Stanford, Chicago (completed interview), NYU, Duke, Cornell & USC.

Chicago, Duke & USC are the ones I'm looking forward to. I gave up on Harvard (Been 'Complete' since 1/12) and Stanford (Been under review since 12/29); Also, not really feeling New York for law school or post-grad. Would like to go big law in the West or South.

Any thoughts on sending "Why" statements to law schools after submitting apps?
