Where is my damn status checker?!

[BigZuck]

Who cares? It would have nothing to tell you even if it existed. Don't worry, you will be accepted in early to mid November.

What the guy above me said is true. I was gonna call and ask again, but honestly, nothing is gonna happen for a month or two at the very least. Do you really need another status checker to refresh 10x/day? I know I don't.

Almost hated you.

Tell me about it. When UCLA emailed me to tell me my application was complete they said they don't have a status checker. So relieved. I wish there were no status checkers period.

iMisto, this is my second application cycle in a row. From everything I have learned, law school applications are very predictable and more often than not if there are surprises they are good ones (meaning you are way more likely to get into a super reach school than you are to get dinged at a target school). At or above both medians=acceptance more often than not. Relax.

[iMisto]

Oh, I see. Please, forgive me for being excited.

Do did anyone call and ask wtf was up with the sudden change in the application requirements on the LSAC application?

When I applied the day apps opened the required amount of LORs/evaluations was 2. Now all of a sudden it seems to have changed to four on LSAC while their website still says two.

Weird...I just did 2. It must be 2-4

It says: Total required: 4.

[iMisto]

I can't imagine they would actually require 4...

[alwayssunnyinfl]

I can't imagine they would actually require 4...

Oh, yeah, and they also have to be letters from heads of departments. No lowly TA's or adjunct professors.

[iMisto]

alwayssunny.. Please come to Cornell. I must meet you.

[shntn]

The LOR issue was discussed in the lounge last night. The consensus is that it's a mistake since both the website and application instructions clearly ask for two references. I assume they're aware of it, but it couldn't hurt to call.

Interviewing at NU on Monday, so if you're in Chicago...

Last-minute flights are the best, IME. Great deals just waiting to be snagged.

Yeah, you hear that, UVA!? I'm a hot commodity now. Better snag me up fast.

Haha!! If they take you, I'll never be able to visit! The south is def not for me.

You're not applying to any of the southern schools? There's some decent stuff in the South...you should give it a try.

We're all thirsty for DEM acceptances, bro. Straight up parched, actually.

Not sure I'd be down with it. Plus, I don't see my numbers getting me into UVA/Duke.

I'm in at Duke with numbers quite similar to yours. What do you have to lose? And what's wrong with the South? I know it's not a TLS favorite but Duke seems like a pretty awesome school and North Carolina is really pretty.
