Top Law Schools

Just wondering if we were all still waiting or if they've made rejections as well as the accepts that have been mentioned.

I'm not sure. Looking at past years, it seems like they didn't do rejections until August.

The TLS acceptance count is up to what, five now? Even assuming a low percentage of people report their acceptances, there still should be a good number remaining.

At least that's what I keep telling myself!

Those of you waiting on HYS - are you withdrawing from other schools? Or putting seat deposits down elsewhere just in case? I have to imagine that with deadlines coming up (Boalt, CLS, Penn, other?) some tough decisions are being made...

HYS controls the dominos; as soon as they make their picks, the other schools can make picks.

? No, I guess I mean for people who have already been picked by other schools, what they're planning on doing with deadlines/ giving those schools a yes or no...hedging their bets on HYS, or putting down a seat deposit elsewhere and withdrawing from HYS, or putting down a seat deposit elsewhere but con't to hope for HYS...?

I think I'm unfortunately already rejected because I inquired why my status still remains "Ready for Review" ever since a long time ago and the officer replied that it means it will be shortly be submitted to review but I will receive an EMAIL after a decision is made. I understand they only give the admission by phone calls, and reject letters by email.

Anyone hear anything today?

My guess there is they are just being generic. I wouldn't read much into that, at all.

I think you are right. Thanks. But the longer there is no news after completion, the less likely the news will be good. But definitely hope everyone here have something to gain from this process.

Nothing since Monday. It seems like the initial round of admits is finished and now we wait until people withdraw/miss deposit deadline. Or the admits this week simply don't post on TLS. Any thoughts?

Historically the bulk - well, all - of the admissions have come later. They take a pretty large transfer class, which means, given Yale and Stanford, perhaps twice as large an admit pool, so I don't think the 3 or 4 TLSers who posted they got in could possibly represent the entire TLS population of ultimate Harvard admits.

I was before I even applied.

As idle chit-chat, does anyone have a theory predicting whether (more or most) decisions will be out by next Friday? I have to commit to law review at my current school by the 23rd, and it would suck to have to withdraw applications...

I was hoping for significant movement today...

I'd definitely bet on some significant movement by next Friday.

anything from big H today? Is the consensus that they are still admitting more applicants? Stanford and Yale seem to be done...

I haven't gotten any new word from Harvard and I went "Ready for Review" on July 12th.

Haven't you gotten into Yale though? You're still considering between the two?

Yea. I'm not considering between the two, but I thought anyone that went ready for review around this time and hasn't heard anything shouldn't be worrying about a rejection yet. My friend has also been "ready for review" for I guess a week or so longer and has similar numbers/school.

@ DBT are you going to withdraw??

Oh God...I don't know which is worse, that you just said that or that I actually understood it.
