Ha! I'm in the mid-thirties set and I'm feeling a little weird that I have to ask my mother for her tax returns to apply for financial aid from Georgetown...poor woman, will she ever be done with me?

You guys have been incredibly helpful thus far. I'm still working on my PS/DS and will PM the people I've been talking to throughout once I have my "final draft" (getting there).

That being said I need to write two short addenda—a resume gap addendum and an LSAT addendum—in the next few days so was wondering if I can please PM anyone for advice and/or assistance with those.

It's weird, no doubt about it, but the folks I've seen go through it seem to have gotten great results even if the interview itself was awkward. I just went ahead and did it the same day--waiting would have just increased my anxiety.

Congrats on the invite!

You think Thursday? That would be sweet, but for some reason I was thinking at least a week from today. But then again, a whole bunch of people did go UR2 today.

What about Cornell? I feel like there was a large chunk of movement there today, too.

I also wish I was DLS at NU today, but nope. lol

CC, is your decision letter up yet?

I think it'll be this week. Penn seems to be mirroring last year (well, based on the one RD wave thus far) with Thursday waves. And last year they had their first post-holiday wave on 1/9.

+1 the NU DLS envy.

Thanks y'all! I did not interview, so I am really surprised. Hopefully they will be raining acceptances on other folks soon.

If I understand the explanation on the ASW correctly, yes.
