Re: Skype problem- reflects poorly on applicant, withdraw?
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:34 pm
Happened in my NW interview. Admissions officer called me and I apologized. She said not to worry, that it happens all the time. I was accepted so I don't think it hurt me. I certainly wouldn't withdraw.

Seppuku seems appropriate.

For the longest time I thought harikari and seppuku were different and depended on the direction of the cut, and then a japanese buddy told me I was retarded and said they are the same thing.ymmv wrote:Seppuku seems appropriate.

Is there any benefit at all to withdrawing? I can't think of a single one.

I had an applicant cancel the interview I was supposed to do and apparently they got in anyway, despite expressly telling me they don't want to go

Harakiri sounds a lot better though. Seppuko sounds like a beer brand.ymmv wrote:Dat etymologically Chinese script confusion.bjsesq wrote:For the longest time I thought harikari and seppuku were different and depended on the direction of the cut, and then a japanese buddy told me I was retarded and said they are the same thing.ymmv wrote:Seppuku seems appropriate.

Seppuku makes me think about bukkake

I don't understand why you would withdraw other than you have to give a thumbs up somewhere else before you expect a response, or you are just feeling sorry for yourself about something going wrong. Tell your friend to quit being a baby.

You could just assume rejection and move on, mentally, without actually withdrawing.aad993 wrote:Benefit: If this is the only school you're waiting on and you also have no wait-lists, you can make a final decision over the next few days.

This seems like an abnormal level of anxiety about being rejected. This friend should try self-care that has nothing to do with law school. Watch a movie. Buy an interesting snack. Take a walk. See friends. Things like that. Ride it out.

Make a decision as if you'd withdrawn. And then if you get rejected/waitlisted, nothing changes and you're ready to make a final commitment. And if not, then that's great! Cool beans. Thanks.

Yes, I was trying to be helpful. I genuinely think that distraction and detachment are both excellent strategies when one is feeling overwhelmed by one's ability to control a given outcome.aad993 wrote:I don't know if you were trying to be helpful or not.

Withdraw. And write an extended apology to the school and all other schools applied to, explaining the mistake. Possible C&F issues otherwise.
