Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
^^ I'm just an ordinary guy in the top of my class, I don't feel entitled to anything. I don't really think entitled is the word you're looking for; maybe you mean arrogance. Entitled is, like, the one girl who went to Princeton in your t40 school thinking that she'll get a great job, outrank everyone, etc. because she went to Princeton. Arrogance is the baked goods kerfuffle. Now I'll admit to being kind of full of myself, though I prefer to think I'm just an honest judge of my work - it was, actually, a really good exam, there was nothing else I could add, might as well go buy some baked goods - but I don't feel that anything's coming to me. Should I not get in places, I'll be surprised, but I won't question the fairness of the outcome.

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
You would think that starting tomorrow, being the Wednesday before July 15th, the unofficial "halfway mark," that we will see a flood of decisions until about the first week of August. I would guess that tomorrow would be the beginning of this rush......but maybe they're waiting until July 30th lol.kevzez wrote:A'nold wrote:Thanks solidsnake. Congrats to you on your news!

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
No, I actually started to write this in another thread but decided I didn't care enough to weigh in - I think your behavior is a bit over the top, and you'll at some point be humbled considerably, but I don't see you as being entitled at all. I actually see a lot of myself in your confidence; I just tend towards less demonstrative means of expressing it, probably because while I'm supremely confident in my mental acuity I think my choice of schools alone demonstrates a lack of common sense in some departments.traydeuce wrote:^^ I'm just an ordinary guy in the top of my class, I don't feel entitled to anything.

This isn't a dig, to be clear. Just an observation. I think people went a little apeshit over the ill-advised anecdote above.

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
From T-4 (TSU)
keep your head up people. i just received both bad news and good news today. I was accepted at texas tech but rejected at u of h law center I thought I had fairly decent states to get into a 59 ranked school...(i was top 12% with military experience and a urm). nothing should be taken for granted; it still isn't completely too late. some schools i think have a july 15 deadline... now is a good time to start looking at some safety schools.

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
Hey everyone,
I applied anywhere from late May to late June and have not heard a thing (acceptance or rejection) from any of the prospective schools. I applied to a scattering of T14 schools (Columbia thru Georgetown) and Fordham and went complete at all schools by July 1, even though class ranks did not come out until July 7 (which I sent out, along with an updated resume that day).
A couple theories:
1. Coming from a T3 (Top 2%), I may have over shot and applied to schools that I have a weak chance of getting into and thus, I am not getting accepted and waiting on rejections.
2. Coming from a T3, I would be considered a “risk” student during the acceptance period and admissions committees are waiting to see how many offers are being accepted until they offer people with comparable stats a spot.
3. Even though I was complete and/or under review at all schools in late June, ad coms are waiting on class rank letters (although I did attached to my apps last years class rank numbers).
FWIW, previous transfers from my T3 school have successfully transferred to Northwestern, Michigan, and Georgetown. I am pretty level headed and have been busy working this summer so the wait hasn’t bothered me. Further, I don’t mind staying at my T3 school, I just wanted to send some apps out to see if schools would bite.

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
I would definitely go with your third theory, I am sure they are just waiting to see your rank (especially if the school is unfamiliar with your tier 3), I am also coming from a tier 3 with the same % as you and was accepted in late June to both Georgetown and Michigan (attending Michigan - withdrew all other apps). You have good numbers, I would say you are hardly a risk. You should be hearing back in the next couple of weeks I would imagine with your rank being released, I would imagine at least one of the schools you applied to will bite. Goodluck!Wolverine21 wrote:Hey everyone,

Thanks for the input guys.
Jlockhart: I also applied to Michigan. I went there for undergrad and graduated in 09. Congrats on getting accepted! Ann Arbor is a great city and if you go there you will be pleased with your decision. Let me know if you have any questions concerning housing, travel, bars, etc.

Yeah, we've seen a top 6%-7% from T4 get into GULC this cycle. You have great chances, but this is unpredictable, so stick w/ you're whole "the wait isn't bothering me" outlook.

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
For realz. I don't want to go there just yet, but I've started accepting the fact that I will be back at my t3 this next year. While that SUCKS b/c I hate the school, I like the area and we have a good setup there. Lawyers at my firm don't even understand why I want to transfer and say that t3 will do me just fine in my target market. While I think such optimism may be a little high based on the crappy rep. of my school, I'm pretty sure my grades provide me enough clout to land something in my target market. Plus, I'd be saving quite a bit of $. I'm not too concerned about the $, but still, at least there's that.CMR wrote:To put things in perspective, I just want to point out that the majority of people worrying in this thread are better situated than 90% of law students out there if they remain where they're at.

I don't want this to sound like I'm trying to convince myself that staying is good (although I often contemplate just going back regardless of where I'm accepted......then I come to my senses ) and I will be pretty dang disappointed, but I'm still in a great position and I am very blessed regardless. I AM going crazy though! A'nold:

A'nold, at this point - I think the auto-admits have been admitted, so I wouldn't be too quick to jump to any conclusions just because you're not an auto admit at a t25, or whatever your goal is.
This is like November or December in the regular cycle, we've got some ways to go, you'll be fine.

Re: The "In Nowhere" Club
My current school only ranks top 10%, then top 33% and then top 50%. I just missed the top 10% cutoff, but I'm worried I'll be indistinguishable from those at the bottom of the top 33%, at least at first glance. anyone else in this situation?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
