Dear Yale,

May your endowment suffer the economy's wrath if you don't mistakenly let me in!

Sincerely,

Me

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten in so far! Feel free to PM me if you have questions at any time (I'm at YLS now).

I hope this isn't a bad omen after my earlier post:

You mean your Yale e-mail address? Not till mid-late June, last year.

no I meant acceptance email--I haven't received it yet. I know the materials are supposed to come in the new year, but an email before then.

I wasn't going to apply to Yale but now I'm seriously considering sending an app Yale's way. Any idea when Yale's ASW is? I wonder if I applied and got in if I would hear back in time to attend.

do it, might as well give it a shot.

Supposedly I'm supposed to receive an email with a bunch of digital information (the actual material won't arrive until after the new year) but when I receive the email I'll let you know what it says as far as dates for asw.

One of my classmates just got the call today around 5:00... I'm soo jealous! She was well below the expected LSAT numbers for Yale, but 3.97... There is hope.

Every post like this makes me die a little bit inside. I've had 3 straight nights of YLS related dreams/nightmares.

I'm in! My stats are not good for Yale (173, 3.92), so it had to be the softs (3 years in legal services, 10 years queer activism on a national level, a few publications/presentations at conferences). I wrote my 250 about the similarities between my trapeze training and an oral history project I did for fun after graduation. My personal statement was about what it felt like to end up doing criminal defense work when I had intended to go into civil law practice.
I got the voicemail during trapeze class, about 7pm tonight.

Those accepted:

When did you apply/go complete?

Any of you URMs?

Congrats LAS! your softs and numbers are very YLS! I can't believe I might be classmates with someone who is as accomplished as you are.

I sent in my applications early october, and went complete end of october.

I got in last night. I was in total disbelief the entire phone call. I still am. My numbers are slightly below the medians for Yale, which goes to show that they are committed to looking at the complete application.

I don't think I will fully believe it until I actually get the email.

Would it be bad form to write a love letter to Yale?

I really want them.

Only if you pass on your HLS acceptance to me if you get in.

[Objection]

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could sell law school acceptances?
