Would it be a bad idea to ask for an expedited review if we have three deadlines on Friday?

you're not gonna get dinged for asking and i think you've got a compelling reason for asking. you've still got an hour to call before close of business PST.

although the numbers reported to LSAC are different from those on the SLS website, so it's not totally clear. Their website says 10. https://www.law.stanford.edu/facts/enro ... tion-rates

they may shoot for 10 and get to 15 bc yield discrepancies.

Around 250 for Harvard. (See http://www.admissionsdean.com/researchi ... sica-soban.) No idea what the number is for Yale and Stanford.

Called and asked if there is any update/estimation as to when decisions will be released and it is tentatively in mid-July (I'm trying to weigh and balance other decisions that must be made by today and within the next week). The lady on the phone was super sweet but basically said there's really no way of knowing when they will release acceptances. She said to call back in on Monday or Tuesday. *Much praying happening in the next week*

I've heard they do them all in one day. With only 10 or so, it can't take THAT long...

Yeesh.

Theoretically, they have another hour to make calls, right?

Here's to losing my mind for the next 65-or so minutes.

Is there a storm coming, Mr. Wayne? Or what?

Fair. I understand the skepticism, but look at the Harvard thread from Monday and people said the exact same thing . . . Not sure what else I can say.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Yeah I mean I'm not trying to come at you, but there was a note that admissions said call back Monday or Tuesday or next week, and this was your first post.

Hopefully someone else (i.e. ME, will get the call next).

I get it. Hopefully we're all laughing about this thread in Palo Alto in a month.

Haha. I hope so, txig. Maybe Stanford is releasing decisions on a piecemeal basis this year? Not sure how to explain this.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
