Yale c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle) Forum

[jjmaple8]

LSN just reported an acceptance an hour ago. Guess calls are going out

That one is dated late January. Think it's just a user updating profile.

I assume chizzy is referring to this one: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/swissresistance

Holy cow, either that person has done something amazing, or they're a troll.

I'm so conflicted because it gives me hope for my mediocre stats, but also saddens me greatly because he/she has probably taken one of very few diversity/non-trad spots

One thing im just trying to understand is that they have already admitted hundreds of people. But tls is so quiet. Makes me wonder:
Who are these people? DO THEY GO TO HOGWARTS

I'm sure there's always a good chunk of lurkers who never post. Also because Yale has such a small class, I think it really makes a big difference. What do you think is the percent of other school's admitted students who actually post on TLS?

We ARE sure this "Yale Law School" place is real, right?

134 members on the FB group Good luck!

so, assuming that almost every admitted person joins Yale's Class of 2017 facebook page, and taking into account that: Yale's classes are usually about 200, and since yale's enrollment rate is around 80%, which means roughly 250 spots offered...

About a 100 more people will receive the lucky call in the next coming month or so?

Yale is like fairyland-- you can't get in unless you believe.

I'll just be happy to say that I at least applied to Yale Law

Congrats on Stanford. I figured I'd post this here rather than the Stanford thread since Yale has once again fallen off of the first page.

Thank ye.

And yes, we must keep Yale on the first page. I think its bad luck to let it get to the second.

Do you think they'll let me in if I keep bumping the thread? NOTICE ME YALE GODS.

Maybe Yale values thread bumping as a soft, the world will never know.

my weekend seems so slooow. i didnt know waiting for law school admissions would be worse than waiting for the LSAT.

I seem to be one of the few people who found that LSAT wait not bad at all. And it definitely had nothing to do with confidence on test day.

i think with the lsat you kind of guess the score range you might end up getting based on your recent practice tests.

Very true, especially if nothing really felt off on test day. With admissions, its much harder to predict, especially with the way things have been this cycle.

I hoap that's the case since I've been shamelessly bumping this thread for SO MANY times (like what I'm doing right naw!)

Judging from ASW dates and LSN decision dates, people tend to have their first decision from Yale before ASW weekend. ASW is a weekend early this year because of Easter.... could this mean that everyone will have their initial decision within the next few weeks? Just speculating.

There is so much happening that weekend with other law school ASW's and other stuff, and I am starting to make plans with the mental caveat of THIS ALL COULD CHANGE SUDDENLY AT THE LAST MINUTE

I really, really need to buy a plane ticket for an upcoming ASW but I feel like that would be jinxing myself.

What's the latest speculation on when the batch who applied around the deadline will start hearing back?

Isn't it usually the first week of April?

That's what I thought too. Last year there was a huge dingwave in the last week of March and the first week of April.
