nothing in particular, it's just always nice when there's someone who somehow just knows everything about past cycles (e.g. lavitz) and you seem like you could be that type of person haha

Hi

[Rigo]

Some midwest schools seem to be crazy generous with money, but they aren't really on my radar. Thinking more coastal.

I don't blame you; the weather is so much nicer on the coasts.

New Orleans, especially.

Hi

That was so fast: do you periodically search your name to see who is talking about you?

[xylocarp]

I have not had any contact whatsoever with my pre-law advisor. But now I'm really tempted to schedule a meeting with her just to see if she'll say anything really stupid.

Plz.

No. I'm just addicted to the "view your posts" function.

Hi.

Why does Scotty have more free time than me? I'm clearly 2LOLing wrong.

Xylocarp,

I'm so excited for you. I was just looking at your profile on LSN. You are already "complete" at decent amount of schools. Cannot wait for you to receive your acceptances

Did you end up doing the UVA Skype interview?

Hey guys! How crucial is it to have an LOR from an employer (as an addition to 2 academic ones) if you've been out of undergrad for 2+ years? Like I'm sure it helps, but how bad is it to not have one?

from what I've gathered so far only columbia makes explicit they want one (see discussion in the columbia applicants thread), I figure you should be fine, not in the last place cause many schools make explicit they prefer academic letters anyway

I think anywhere from 1-3 years out of undergrad is fine, but for 4+ years, I think a letter from your employer is more necessary.

[KMart]

Schools prefer to hear about how you can do in an academic setting, making academic LOR even better. Although having the employer one will help but its not a huge deal if you can't get one.

I did 2 academic and 1 work related. For the schools that only accept two I'm going to submit the academics.

I know!!! I'm glued to your profile. I'm eager to see how well you will perform. I know you can and will get into Yale.

Ugh... I'm really struggling with this. I'm over seven years out of undergrad and can't really find an academic LOR. I don't live near enough to visit old professors in person and wasn't really close to any of them. The one I've reached out to hasn't even responded.

I've got some really strong employment LORs and I'm not really targeting T14, so hopefully adcoms won't care too much.

7 years out is a reasonable amount of time where it won't kill you if you don't have one. Schools don't expect you to remain friends with them for years outside of UG.

Packages in snail mail from Duke and Cornell. Anyone else?

[MidwestLifer]

Yay to Duke nay to Cornell.

It could be either one of us given that both of us a bit tired I'm assuming. I guess they will chime in on it tomorrow, and let us know.
