Any Fake Outs?
My brother came running up jovially this morning with a big white packet, thinking that a LS sent me an acceptance.
My heart skipped a beat until I saw the "Regent Law" sticker on the front. I explained Stalker Law to him and told him I appreciated his enthusiasm.
Has anyone else experienced a fake out acceptance before?

Yup, I get those too. That MLK Day speech one the other day was so misleading since they appeared as "Law.Admission" on my g-mail the other day.dcwumpus wrote:Every email from Valparaiso - and there are a LOT of them - stops my heart for a moment.sanjola wrote:My brother came running up jovially this morning with a big white packet, thinking that a LS sent me an acceptance.

5 months?! What on earth takes them so long? Do they just not make decisions until January-ish maybe?sanjola wrote:gothamm wrote:hey sanjola have you heard anything back from the law schools you applied to? i know that you are a reapplicant.

I received an acceptance email this morning, but was really confused because I had just sent my app out yesterday. Luckily it was promptly followed by a "sorry we fucked up" email.

Northwestern has faked me out a couple times, and I always have to remind myself that I didn't apply there.sanjola wrote:

From U of R by any chance? I just got one this morning from them. I applied in November so I was fully expecting to hear something any day now. It was really disappointing.StillHerexxx wrote:I received an acceptance email this morning, but was really confused because I had just sent my app out yesterday.

Re: Any Fake Outs?
Yeah, must have been a big time fuck up to all applicants. I feel bad for you because an acceptance was possible, that had to be a huge dissapointment. I was confused as to why I would get an acceptance that quick.

Re: Any Fake Outs?
Nope, but I might soon. I got my very first email from Regent this morning, and I hear they're the worst. But if it gets bad I could take the advice of a poster on another thread and email them back telling them I'm a lesbian so they'll leave me alone.molomloch wrote:Anyone else mark e-mails from TTT as spam in e-mail settings?

Yeah Regent is terrible. I know someone started a thread and supposedly sent Regent a letter asking them about how they reconcile their "Christian" principles with the 30k plus yearly tuition bill.kjadkins wrote:Nope, but I might soon.

Re: Any Fake Outs?
I am getting all these huge envelopes with application fee waivers from top 50 schools NOW...IN FEBRUARY!!!
just this week i got william and mary, george mason, cardozo, tulane, and boulder.
They just want me to be their scapegoat and reject me so to inflate their numbers.....
even with this knowledge, I am totally falling for this. Already applied to a couple of them

Re: Any Fake Outs?
Last year, I applied to (among other places) GW. They rejected me around early February... A few weeks later I got another letter from them. I'm thinking "Holy crap, my rejection must've been an accident! Go GW!"
I open the envelope... "We would like to invite you to apply for admission into our Fall of 2010 class..."
I sent them an email about it and let them know they had a glitch in their system. I had a good laugh about it but, damn.

I've been waiting to hear back from University of Richmond because people with worse numbers have gotten in already. I had a gigantic packet from them in my mailbox, only to open it and find a viewbook and application. I applied over two months ago.
Fool me once, shame on you...

Damn, that's mean of GW and Richmond. Don't they keep the names on separate lists?

Re: Any Fake Outs?
Huge package from Minnesota and my roommate flipped out and barged into my room jumping and screaming "You're in, you're in!!"
When I discovered who it was from I nearly strangled her.
