Oops, thought I was in the Georgetown thread, lol. Disregard my posts

LOL

I ran to grab my computer and refresh my statuses. Thank goodness, I don't think I could take getting 3 WL's on the same day.

I think I might just swear off these threads until a little later in the cycle when things actually start moving. For now, it's just annoying.

Deferred to regular admission pool this morning. Well at least it's not a rejection.

Shit Another round of this??

When was your last update if you don't mind my asking? Was today your third one? I'm still [mercifully] stuck at 11/26.

Yep. Just hang in there! We knew going in that this cycle would get weird and probably drag out a while. It's incredibly frustrating, but I've no doubt it'll all work out fine in the end!

Also curious. Via status checker or email? Thanks, we'll all get through this...

Checking in. Received 11/30.

AA URM/Non-trad/3.92/162 (retaking)

Loving the festive update to your tar, Worm!

Worm needs to get a 169+ and just go to Harvard. Stop playin' bro.

I was at 10/11 for a while then I updated two days in a row (11/29 and 11/30) and turn I was emailed a decision.

OK, so it seems that their 3rd update=decision policy is sticking. Sorry to hear you have to wait longer now, but as you said, it's not a rejection! And congrats again on UVA!

Checking in! Submitted 11/26.

Anybody care to shed some light on how people in the ballpark of 167/3.78 have fared through ED?

I was in this ballpark (slightly worse) and was accepted in the second wave back in October. Although I think very few non-URMS have been accepted with numbers like this, most people are being deferred.

I was accepted with 168/3.77 earlier this month. Was accepted with the same numbers last cycle (applying in March). Hope that helps!

I submitted on 11/13 and I'm still at "verifying materials for completion." Do you think it's time to call and make sure there's no issue with my app or just wait it out a little longer?

I submitted on 11/9 and I just went complete (11/29). I would wait until the end of this next week before calling.

I dont know, the Harvard thread scares me a bit. They're being all nice to each-other but you know the second they all get to Cambridge it is going to be straight up hunger games.

If this law school thing doesn't work out I might go get a PhD in sociology at Harvard just so could watch them all for three years.

Somewhat off-topic but,

Genuinely curious about why you feel this would be more likely to occur at Harvard. If anything, I would imagine it would be more like:

I dont know, the [school with standard grading system, a weaker LRAP and objectively worse employment prospects than HYS] thread scares me a bit. They're being all nice to each-other but you know the second they all get to [host city, straddled with six-figure debt requiring Biglaw to pay off] it is going to be straight up hunger games.


Maybe I'm being naive here and I'm missing something

Yeah I concur. Columbia would be my choice for this mad-libs game here. Or UVA. Or GULC. IDK, have heard from current students Columbia is a bloodbath at times.

In other news, submitted today, still waiting on another LOR but figured just go ahead and send it in. Fee waived, woo!

I submitted 11/15 and am still on the same boat. I think it takes time to go complete.

Applied to Cornell about a month ago. Retook the LSAT today for true splitterdom and the T14. Checking in, dudes.

Cornell is holding my app via status checker for today's score as of 11/28.

168/3.35

Okay, good to know it took others a while too. I'll do my best to keep waiting it out. Thanks!

Im in a similar situation as you. App received 11/15 and still not complete. That does seem to be the norm though. I think they were taking care of early applicants first.

Cornell seems to be lagging this cycle. I submitted 10/18, went complete 11/7, and I'm still just complete.

I submitted 11/15 and still not complete. I think Cornell get s a ton of apps because it is the easiest t14 school to get into and their median dropped to a 167.

[bananapudding88]

When do you we think Cornell's gonna start making decisions again?

Cornell has a lower acceptance rate than Duke, Georgetown, UVA, and NYU.
