Stanford c/o 2017 (2013-2014 applicants) Forum

So who else here didn't submit a LOR tailored to Furd?

Apparently they like those, but I couldn't find a professor of mine that was connected to the school in any way so I didn't think it was appropriate.

The better question is who did. I wouldn't worry about it.

What does tailored to Furd mean?

Someone who wrote you a LOR specifically mentioning why you would be a great fit for Stanford.

I did. But I'm lucky enough to work with several of their alumni. They say they place "high value" on such letters, I just wish I knew how much.

I had both LOR targeted but I don't have the #s so I am really grasping at straws.

[wowhio]

People, please convince me to apply here, before the deadline makes the decision for me. I keep telling myself it isn't worth it w/ my 3.75.

I applied with a 3.58. hth

Same boat.

3.75 is a great GPA! Put your game face on! You've got this!

*sheepishly raises hand*

FWIW, I think it's stupid that Stanford likes tailored letters. Tailored letters are stupid. Basically all it shows is that the person asked really nicely and their professor/letter-writer was very, very generous and agreed to write a special letter so Stanford could feel all coddled and loved.

For me, Stanford is my top choice. It's also a reach, so if they want to be coddled and loved -- then I shall coddle and love them.

Well, that's fine for you lucky bastards who know SLS alums

In all honesty, I would have if I had known any alums who could have written a good, targeted letter. SLS is my first choice as well so I'm willing to jump through just about any hoops necessary. However, getting a letter out of one of my profs was a huge deal due to circumstances and asking for a targeted letter just seemed too much of an additional imposition given those circumstances. He wrote me an amazing letter though, so I can't complain.

Is there a way of seeing said letter without violating the agreement you make w/ LSAC not to see it?

It's stuff like this that reinforces my fear of jinxes

Yeah, you're only waiving your right to demand the letter from whatever school you matriculate to after you are a student. You can always ask your recommender if they are willing to show it to you, though they are under no obligation to do so. However, my previous statement was a bit ambiguous; I never actually read my letter. He just told me what he had written after he had sent it in.

Gotcha. Thanks!

All my recommenders just sent me their letters in an email once I thanked them. They must've known I was super curious. It's definitely worth asking, it's such a peace of mind.

Lol, for extremely specific but uninteresting reasons I sort of want my recommenders to forget I am even going to law school for the time being, so I probably won't ask for now. Although I am very curious to read what they wrote.

lol, you probably phrased it that way "specific but uninteresting" so as not to elicit questions from us but you failed. Now I am even more curious to know why you want them to forget you are applying to law school

*Disclaimer: I'm not actually asking you to answer this question; it sounds like it could out you. It is just going to bug me for the rest of the night (yes, my life is that uninteresting)
