Are the numbers in your profile fudged? It seems highly unlikely that you would get in with those numbers, ED or not.

not really, if thickfreakness is an instate... I would say it would plausible.

Thank you! The numbers in my profile do not include my most recent retake (172). I am also a VA resident, though I am not sure it means much.

edit: quoted the wrong post, sorry- my low post count is showing

Based on my understanding, your VA residency means quite a bit. At UVA, it's easier for a Virginia resident to be accepted. In any case, congratulations on being accepted!

are there any in-state applicants with at least one number over median that haven't heard back yet? i feel like i'm the only instater with a 170+ that didn't get auto accepted. maybe i accidentally wrote "i hate uva law" in my PS.

The VA residency is the reason why you heard back so quickly after your retake, not why you got in. A 172/3.5 has a pretty decent shot at UVA in-state or not, but in-state they gobbled you up quickly. Congrats!

Thanks again! UVA has been my dream school for quite some time... only I just got engaged to a Michigan girl, so I have to consider that school also! That is assuming an acceptance there, of course, which is a pretty big assumption... Time to forum search "UVA vs Michigan"

Time to put up a poll "Dream school vs dream girl".

I don't think we need a poll to know what the overwhelming majority of TLSers would say to that...

Haha, yeah, not to mention I think it has already been done...

At least the two schools are pretty comparable (as I understand it), so it's not like I have to make any salient sacrifice in rank or job prospects

I feel like Michigan + fiancee > Virginia. That seems like a pretty easy one.

Probably; I need to be accepted at Michigan to evaluate the two fairly. I nearly cried when UVA called, so I think it is safe to say I am a bit biased towards the school that has shown me some love.

Interesting side note: her dad, a lifelong engineer, quit his job last year and currently attends Michigan Law (wants to go into IP).

+1, since their rankings and reputations are very comparable.

[Kronk]

Eh, I would take most schools in the T14 + UT and UCLA with a fiance over almost any other school in the T14. Definitely peer schools. If I had a serious girlfriend in Austin, I'd take UT over any school aside from HYS, probably.

As someone at UVA now, I agree with both of these statements. A small change in rankings is not worth a big change in loneliness. You'd love it here, but you'd probably love being with the one you love more.

In this particular case, Michigan is actually the higher-ranked school as well as having the personal factors on its side.

Just submitted, and so I join this thread. Not optimistic about my chances this late in the cycle. non-VA resident.

[MirandaHobbes]

in reading past posts, i see that it means nothing, but figured i'd share anyway: Pending Review/Decision updated from 1/4 to 1/11.

No but I can go re-look at mine from last month if that would help anything.
