Yale c/o 2018 (2014-2015 Applicants) Forum

Right, but is it for a specific set of schools?

Maybe this is what you're driving at--I know an invite I got previously in the cycle was only for alums of certain undergrads.

ahh, I misunderstood. No, not for a specific set of grads. Just based on CRS LSAT and GPA, it seems.

I now see how my initial question was vague.

Thanks!

if you hide things in the spreadsheets, it doesn't just hide them for you, it hides them for everybody, and then it messes up the data. PLEASE DON'T HIDE COLUMNS IN THE SPREADSHEETS

(don't mind me just spamming this everywhere bc it's messing up literally every single spreadsheet right now)

According to the Yale Law Admissions Twitter they just gave out their first acceptances, more calls coming soon!

Fingers crossed for everyone who applied early.

My mom just called me and I jumped about five feet. I don't even know why I'm jittery about it. I have zero shot at Yale.

Yale admissions works on Saturdays? Man they're such weirdos.

Just got the call. I am so, so, so happy.

Will crack a saved craft beer bottle from Hair of the Dog tonight to celebrate.

ETA: in my haste/happiness-induced stupor, I forgot to add: may you all get a favorable call, as well!

ETA2: in case anyone was wondering, beer of choice was Hair of the Dog's Doggie Claws Barleywine (2012 vintage). the label features a cigar-smoking bulldog in a santa outfit, which seemed fitting for an early Christmas surprise by a school with a bulldog mascot. http://beerpulse.com/wp-content/uploads ... -label.png

ETA3: thanks again for the congrats in this thread and in my PMs. deeply touched by all the love TLSers show for one another. i'm hoping you all get accepted to your respective top law school choices!

Plz don't stress about Yale. They admit like 4 people. I cannot handle NYU-thread-level neuroticism itt you guys.

I just went complete but I found a pretty big typo in my college activities section. Would it be weird to call them and ask if I can do anything about it or should I just leave it?

I would leave it unless it is something significant, i.e. something that really changes the accuracy of what you put, like President of the United States v. President of Anime Lovers Club at X College.

[buckeyeinbangkok]

I'm ready to submit but the 250 is holding me back. Does anyone want to swap for some final edits? I just need some peace of mind and I want to submit asap.

you could email admissions and send an "updated copy
of the document" and ask if they can update your file. Worth a shot if it's going to bother you...
