Top Law Schools

Was on my application in the fall. I might drop it now....have heard from most schools i applied to (all T14).
I have lots of other softs. Will they care? Will they hate me? Rescind?

I thought about dropping my thesis and ultimately decided not too...I don't think it sends a good message whatever the reason for doing it is although I don't really think schools will care all that much and fwiw I'm really glad i finished mine

They won't hate you for it and it won't change your odds at getting in. You may want to email and update.

But as someone else who dropped a senior thesis because I wanted my last year to go easier, I wanted to say that I regret that. It's a really great experience to present your research, and I wish I had.

But of course, it depends on the circumstances and what you're hoping to get out of doing a thesis.

Thank you both for your input.
It's been tough going, and I think I went into the thesis for the wrong reasons--I was never especially passionate about my topic, so it's a bit like getting my teeth pulled.
I've already been working on it for nearly a year, so I certainly learned a lot.

I was thinking that the crunch of visiting schools/competing for scholarships/ other obligations would just be too much, and I'd wind up doing nothing effectively.

I'm freakin out man!

This isn't the type of thing that the school's will rescind an offer for. That's generally limited to failing classes and failing to graduate.

I can pretty much guarantee no one at the admissions office said, "Well, I'm on the fence about this catwomangirl, but she's writing a thesis, so let her in!"

Send a letter to the schools that you're actually considering attending to let them know the change, but someone will probably just print out the e-mail and put it in your file to be forgotten.

Alternately, you can call the schools up and ask them how they'd want you to handle a situation where you decided to drop your thesis.
