I want to commit for sure but like I said, i wasn't budgeting to hear back 10 days after applying.

any advice would really appreciated, whether here or via PM

Sorry, bro, but let them know they can give the spot to me.

Law school is cutthroat.

(thoughts of every thread reader for a few moments, then sympathy, then unsure of how to appropriately answer)

I would ask if you could put down a smaller amount, and the rest once you have it maybe?

Real answer, Congratulations! That is amazing and gives hope to many.

I would personally try to secure a pay advance or a loan from a family member (nonparent) before I asked the law school. I mean, you're in, so I doubt it could hurt, but if they say no you will still need to find another option.

A lot of schools' bursars accept credit card payments. If you know you can pay within a month, that's a viable option.

Title loan or personal loan are last resort options.

Excited none the less.

Is the quick turn around on requiring the deposit a function of your ED status?

Hit submit yesterday. How late am I to the party?

I'm sure you'll hear something by the end of the year.

ETA: Not because you're so late, but because Cornell is just that slow.

I heard the wait for the app to go complete takes about a month alone.

My wait was 1 month and 13 days. I'm hopeful for you going complete soon.

instride91 · Post by **instride91** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 3:49 pm

Application complete 1/16

Submitted 1/6

Sorry for everyone still waiting. Not sure why mine went complete so quickly. I did ED though.

bigvol · Post by **bigvol** » Fri Jan 17, 2014 5:24 pm

Applied ED 12-20, got on the waitlist today. I'm pretty surprised because Cornell was my longshot app.

162/3.7

Any suggestions going forward?
