rejected. i can't believe it.

i must be the only JR1-reject....i feel horrible...

there are some circumstances that i don't want to explain here that may be related, but it is impossible to know

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the heartbreak of being rejected after a JR1.

wow...I'm really sorry. IMO, a JR1/waitlist is bad enough, but a JR1/reject is even more unfair.

[Consigliere]

another one bites the dust. Rejection email at 1:40 CST.

Ill check back later today, hopefully theres a happy story out there and some of you all survive today.

Best of Luck to those few holdouts

It is horrible. It feels very personal...we liked you a lot 'til we talked to you and/or read your file in depth.

It does feel very personal. Never had a JR1 but to wait nearly 7 months just to get an impersonal email on a Fri afternoon in one of the last batches of reject emails feels not only personal but a little mean

[r6_philly]

That is a harsh one. They could have just soft rejected you by giving you a WL, but then with your JR1 you may be waiting all summer on false hopes. I guess a clean break is for the best, even though it seem mean at the time?

wow a rejection after a jr1 is unheard of to me

[buzzgirl]

sorry to all the dings.

I keep checking my e-mail (and my status checker)... but still nothing for me. Anyone else?

[chevygrl88]

hey, I got hit today too. Held in march, finally got the rejection today. I made the mistake of checking my email at work and completely froze when I saw the subject. I agree though... glad to finally have a resolution and stop the agony. Good luck to everyone still waiting for decision/riding out the waitlist.

[haroldfordIII]

Did anyone make it out alive (i.e. with an admit) yet?

[174]

Dinged.

[BioEBear2010]

Dinged.

Me 2.

You and TheADW complete the remarkable 'YS admission and H rejection' cycle. Insanity.

Don't rub it in now...

I too made the mistake like a poster above of checking email during work, during a moment when I was in conversation with others...

Wanted to vomit and run away crying.

Seriously, anyone here reapplying? I don't think it's worth the effort. I feel like "damn I didn't even make the waitlist. Would they just laugh at me if i reapply next year?"

[fidesverita]

Dinged.... Now I don't know what to do anymore.

What are your other options?

WL CLS, accepted by Boalt, still waiting on NYU.

Ugh this year was just a disaster.

Where are you going, Core?

I'm also WLed at CLS.
Assuming I don't get off the WL at HLS, SLS, or CLS, I'm going to Penn.

Sometimes it's easy to lose perspective, but let's please remember that just about all of us will be going to great law schools if we so choose. Yes, even BoalTTT (<<I don't even believe that, I just think it's funny to write). Seriously. I know Harvard is the holy grail, at least for me, but having been rejected from my first-choice UG and having lived an enjoyable and productive life since, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the same qualities that have you propelled you to succeed thus far will continue to do so whether you end up in Berkeley or New York. Not to lecture you, just sometimes we all need a reminder.

[macunaima]

...I'm still standing...


...though with my numbers I expect a rejection anytime now.

I know, it's important to have perspective. We all still got into great schools. I'm just annoyed/angry/sad that I wasn't even WLed or given a chance for JR1. Plus two of my best friends will be there in the fall, so I'm naturally disappointed. But congrats to all who are still alive in this brutal process!!

Absolutely, don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to be in Cambridge next fall, and I'll be pretty bummed if I'm not. But what helps me keep it all real is surfing the threads where I turned down $$$ w/o a second thought and reading people express the sentiments we're describing now about Harvard. Definitely makes me appreciate what I have.

Besides, what's so great about being WLed? The analogy I've made before is the bloody Sarlacc from Star Wars. 1,000 years of slow painful digestion, all while clinging to the absurd hope that someone with a jetpack is going to swoop down and rescue you. You got a lightsaber to the neck by comparison, much quicker and cleaner.

Boy, you folks sure know how to give a pep talk.
