Michigan. Ha! I'd regret it forever if I didn't

Ohhh yeah... I think everyone probably has or should. You never know...

Harvard --> 164/3.9x =)
non-URM

Oh, totally. I sent like... 3 Hail Mary's.

Yep! Columbia and NYU! No chance in hell, but I've wasted money in worse ways.

This is what I was thinking, so I was curious to see where people threw them

I am a reverse splitter extreme.

My cycle is a Hail Mary.

I hope it does not end like Fredo's final one did.

If you're not getting a few rejections you're doing it wrong. Keep thrown' 'em, sometimes they connect.

I threw a Hail Moses at Cornell and Vanderbilt. HA.

165, URM, but essentially no GPA (foreign degree...) so almost any school where my LSAT isn't above median or 75% is anyone's guess. If the school actually cared about my grades apart from their US News ranking impact, it's 3.8-3.9 equivalent.

UVA= rejection

Columbia?
Harvard?
GULC?
ND...? (Top choice, if a stretch)

haha Hail Moses, awesome!

I have six. My LSAT score ended up being 6 points lower than my PT average making all the schools I was originally planning on applying to crazy reaches. I decided it was worth the money for a shot at a dream so I applied to them all anyway.

Haahvaahd.

Truthfully, I still have dreams of updating my facebook status to:

"Starrydreamz3 got into Harvard Law. What, like it's hard?"

The "into" will likely be replaced with a "rejected by". Regardless, the post will happen.

I can see it now: "XXXX got in to ~~Stanford~~ err. Samford School of Law

, part-time with a generous scholarship of 15 (hundred)!

what has a better chance of hitting, a hail mary from the 50 yard line or a full heave basketball shot from full court

Soda Mixer · Post by **Soda Mixer** » Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:38 pm

To be honest, I can't throw very far. My only hope of getting into Stanford is for something like this to happen:

50 yard hail mary is easier, for SURE.

MattThiessen · Post by **MattThiessen** » Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:50 pm

Yes. 165/3.5. Vandy, Texas, Cornell.

Really, don't ask me why.

This was epic. As a Dolphins fan, I am just glad the Jets coach got called out for it.

I sent my hail mary to Boalt...and I sent it late. IT'S REALLY COLD IN THE MIDWEST RIGHT NOW.

Haha this feels like the healthiest thread I've read all day. Lol I can't seem to stop obsessing over the acceptance sections... what counts as a hail Mary exactly? Below both 25's?
