URM 2015-2016 Cycle Thread Forum

Okay, here is a stats doc like the one from last year. I take no credit on this, I just found it and made some super minor edits. If anyone knows who made the original one, we should give them a shoutout.

Hope this helps everyone! Good luck!

Trying for this to not get buried

Did OP die? This would be a great thing to have in the OP so that folks can easily found it.

Was wondering the same thing. Tried to contact the person but their profile doesn't even allow that.

Btw, glad to see everyone chiming in with good news!

I bet you A. Nony Mouse, a mod, could help us get a new OP who can get the stats sheet up. They will need a new OP to step in though. Any takers?

Waitlisted at Georgetown. Yet another waitlist notch on my belt, but still holding hope for some other schools!

My condolences! Don't give up hope!

I wont! Congrats on your cycle thus far!


Also, are there any Mexican Americans out there (or Hispanics in general) that are having luck with T7 schools? I have yet to hear back from the T7 but I'm not expecting much at this point. Any one who is at or below both 25ths having success?

And, everyone, I just went ahead and had Nony switch the OP to me. I've put up a new poll and the spreadsheet is in the OP now, so you can get back to it easily without searching through the thread. If there's anything else folks want up, let me know!

They said URMs should apply broadly (and I did) but waiting to hear back from like 7 schools when you've already been accepted to 6 is stressful. Especially with deposit deadlines looming around.

Hold on. I've seen at least 4 cycles unfold and I promise you URMs get admits to Yale and Stanford and all kinds of fancy places right at the wire. Take heart in the fact that you're not the only one suffering this seemingly interminable wait.

[IWantT6]

Long time lurker here. So I made the mistake of applying late. As in right before the deadlines. And I'm so worried. I hope I don't have to sit out this cycle. Even if I miss out on the $$ I hope I just get a positive decision!

Just what I needed to hear. Hopefully this applies to me as well! *fingers crossed*

I'm in this boat as well! Should make for an interesting next few weeks! Best of luck.

It's true. I applied late too, like beat the H and S deadline by days. But glad to know I'm in good company in the waiting game.

On another subject, I was the OP for the spreadsheet. If others think it would be helpful to have complete and decision dates, I can work on that. I probably won't be able to get to it for a week or two. Anyone can edit, so if other people want to be working on it that's fine too

I also applied late and am in the same boat of a couple of acceptances but waiting on the majority of schools. Glad to know I'm not the only one. One thing i noticed from the spreadsheet is that not many people applied to Yale. Any reason for that? Also, I encourage everyone who hasn't done so already to put their stats in the spreadsheet even if its just anonymous. It's a great motivation.

I'd be willing to bet that more people have (or will have) applied to Yale than what's represented by the spreadsheet, even if the discrepancy is small. My thinking is that the combination of Yale not caring when they receive applications + them further pushing back their already late (relatively speaking) deadline + a couple people potentially not updating the spreadsheet super often = less Yale apps represented on the spreadsheet. That said, I'm sure the complete crapshoot that is YLS admissions dissuaded a number of people from applying who sent apps in to H and maybe S.

I personally can't wait to get my $90 rejection letter. Hopefully the paper is nice, at least.

I'm in the same boat and have only heard back from one school (a few hours ago..). I'm also super worried, especially considering my garbage LSAT score, but glad to know I'm not the only one totally unsure how this cycle will play out. Here's to the last leg of the waiting game, good luck everyone!

Well, your single decision so far gives me hope! I may have shifty numbers but I'm pretty confident in my PS, whatever that's worth. Here's to getting in for us all!

I didn't apply to Y or S because I felt that they were too much of a reach (for my stats) for the cost of the application (no fee waivers). Based on the research I did, I felt that H was my best shot at T3 and put all my T3 eggs in that basket. *kanyeshrug*
