Applied before xmas and haven't heard anything.

Post by A Swift » Wed Feb 10, 2010 12:57 pm

Applied before xmas to all schools (T3-T20) and haven't gotten a decision from a single one. 3.92/170.

Thoughts?

I applied around 10 Nov to T4 -> USC/UCLA and only heard back from Columbia, Cornell, UVA, NU, and GULC. Bonus 100 points for guessing which two of these schools accepted me.

So you're saying I shouldn't be waking up every morning with this massive panic attack?

Well if you sent in your avatar pic as part of application package I would wake up every morning with a massive panic attack.

No, Columbia and GULC. Doesn't make sense to me either.

I sent my headshot, but it's a much better picture.

Honest thoughts, given my number, why you think I haven't heard anything yet?

I applied on 12/23 and have heard back from 4/5 of my school.

But it probably helps that my numbers were in the top quartiles at 4/5 of those schools as well.

My roommate and I applied in early december to pretty much the top 15 and we only heard back from gtown,nu, and duke. He heard from michigan late last week. I think everyone is experiencing this.

Same here. 170/3.8 and nothing except reject from Yale as expected. Just a lot of applicants and adcomms playing the rankings game.

Give it time... I've been waiting since mid-October. Haven't heard ANYTHING but one WL from Georgetown. Given, my LSAT score isn't as high. You'll be fine.

I applied to all the T20 between 12/15 and 12/31. I've only received a decision from USC, Vandy and Minnesota (all admits).

Gone complete almost everywhere else, but not expecting any more decisions till late Feb, early March. Since Berkeley is perhaps my top realistic choice, I'm regretting that I didn't apply in Oct. More than anyone they seem to be all about early apps.

Number in the 171/3.7 range.
