Eh, I tried to do too much with mine. Personal but also broadly applicable. Academic but quotidian. Was trash.quadsbaby wrote:I don't know how much the 250 really makes or breaks an application.

Conversely, MacGuyver is indeed awesome.

Is anyone ever really happy with their 250 though? I'm skeptical.

I'd say people who get into YLS are pretty happy with their 250s.LetsGoMets wrote:Is anyone ever really happy with their 250 though? I'm skeptical.

I'd say acceptances tonight/tomorrow based on the timing of the admitted students preview and their tweets.adman921 wrote:predictions on next movement?

From LSN:
Acceptances: 28
Latest Complete: 2/20
Median LSAT: 174
Median GPA: 3.935
Pending: 35
Complete Range: 10/6 - 3/19
Median LSAT: 172
Median GPA: 3.9
Rejected: 59
Complete Range: 10/17 - 3/11
Median LSAT: 172
Median GPA: 3.83
Based on the pending dates, I would say that anyone complete before March that hasn't heard anything made it to FR recently or was a 10 or 11 from earlier. Of course this is all pure speculation, but it would seem to make sense to me.
Also, it looks like they've rejected multiple 177+, 3.9+ candidates so far. YLS gonna YLS.

I had a strange complete date...submitted on 2/28 and went complete a whole two weeks later on 3/14...I wonder if anyone had a similar situation given that a ton of people were probably applying on that last (at least originally last) day to apply

Yes, you're fine...I went complete 3/12, and submitted a couple days before that (original) deadline.

I went complete so long ago I have started going back into my email every couple of days to just check and make sure it really happened.

I don't think they announced this one on Twitter, which is interesting.
