That said, I don't really understand why they YP when they require at least one extra essay. Surely that scares people who aren't all serious?

I'd be happy to take a few of those pesky YP-inducing LSAT points off your hands

I get in, you get less risk of YP... win-win!

How long did it take you all to go UR after your file went complete? I've been "Complete" for 3 weeks now.

Wondering if I should call them...

I was complete for nearly 3 weeks before going UR.

Okay good to know. Should be any time now then, hopefully!

I don't think that they'll be doing much with the RDs like us until January, so I wouldn't panic if you're not UR before Christmas.

Complete: 11/17
Under Committee Review: 12/03, 12/10
RD, LSAT > 75%, GPA < 25%

I went complete in October, under review in early Nov., and haven't moved since. RD, above median. I just want it to move. Just once.

Then he'd lose his Harvard admit.

At least until that skank at the Christmas party shows up and brushes against your leg.

More sexual innuendo ITT than I would've thought. I support this.

I'm a little surprised, too. I wrote a Why Penn, so if we're assuming this movement is a good thing, maybe that's why...

A leg brush garners more than a move. I generally wear two pairs of pants to the xmas party for this reason.

I wrote a why Penn too. I wonder if there is anything else to be done. I feel like calling them and saying that they are my first choice would make me seem like a stalker.

Complete 10/28, Under CR since 11/2, then it changed to 12/10. My numbers are pretty bad.

MC Southstar · Post by **MC Southstar** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 11:28 am

Why not find someone who DIDNT write a Why Penn and is also poised to get YP'ed and see what their status is? Not that this is easy, but it might give you a better answer.

Did you do a Why Penn in addition to the supplemental essays or are you referring to the 5 year plan question?

No, the 5-year-plan prompt. I think an additionally why penn would be redundant, but I know other people who just used a generic addendum or DS instead of writing that prompt.

Define "bad" in relation to Penn's numbers. Are you a URM by any chance?

I think ED is probably enough to show your interest.
