The process of applying and reviewing electronically makes perfect sense, but I feel like over time the applicants are treated as no more than just numbers. Don't we deserve at least a letter in a stamped envelope? It's not like they're giving us a break in increasing application fees. It totally loses the professional and personal touch to this arduous process. What do yall think?

Wrong, I'm with the OP here. I'd actually like singing telegrams.

"We've reviewed your file,
And it made us smile!
But it's sadly found,
The rejection pile."

And then they hand you some flowers and a teddy bear with a frowny face or something.

I changed the email address on my lsac thing to a new one and gave onle the telegram company access to it. So as soon as the score is emailed to me, they will receive it first and send a singing clown to deliver the news to me. I'm sorry for all of you who are receiving the scores by "emails" and "checking websites" because I will get my score from a singing clown named Daffodil. I'll let you all know how it goes!

Still waiting for this damn clown to show up. I was told they would send one that is "hug-friendly" in case the score is really good or really bad.

Are there specific hours during which the scores might come? Is it known that it's generally from like 9-5 or anything? I only ask because I don't want this clown showing up at my door in the middle of the night and scaring my neighbors. It would be a terrible start to my legal career to be complicit in the death of a clown named Daffodil. Just saying.

Cripes! I almost just had a heart attack. I got a phone call from the singing telegram store and I thought it was my score. Turns out they just wanted to confirm my address. They didn't want an errant clowning.

Question: What should one tip a singing clown?

Another false alarm! A kid rang the doorbell and asked for a ball he hit into the back yard. I looked him in the eye..and told him I wasn't home.
