I found out that I earned 3 more "A+"s and 1 "A" this past Winter quarter. I am a soft hold from October. Do you all think I have time to get these in for consideration? Should I bother?

It's always possible that it's too late to have an effect, but it couldn't hurt you to send them in.

So my law school admissions cycle is now officially longer than my undergrad one. And I was so hopeful when I received my first acceptance a week after submitting my first application. Come on, Stanford!

Anyone else in Berkeley and deciding between going to Berkeley or Stanford (if they get in)? Berkeley Law has been my dream school for a long time but Stanford is the 2nd best law school in the country....

[sharktankdean]

Dear Stanford,

I need to make my decision soon..but thanks to Dean Asha I know not to send you and email telling you this because you will send me a denial...so please do your best to let me know ASAP. I know you have the whole week to make decisions but today would be a perfect day.


Thanks

That would be the most amazing dilemma in the world to have!!

Same boat, with an HLS decision pending as well.
Did I mention I submitted all my apps in October?

This is actually the story of my life. Sigh.

There's actually a good number of us that fit into this category..

I am also pending at CLS, but would probably choose Berk anyway.

Berk/Stanford are the schools I like best out of those to which I have been admitted. However, will be really hard to turn down SLS unless I get $0 or insane cash at Berkeley. I'm 95% sure I'll be at SLS unless I get a miraculous Yale acceptance. What are you thinking atm? Also, major CONGRATS on SLS (if you are in). If not, gooooood luck!

Half the people I met at Columbia last week seemed to be waiting on Stanford and Harvard.

Thats funny. At NYU's ASD, no one mentioned HYS (some talked about Columbia).

Agreed. And no one assumed off the bat that those who were in at HYS would automatically take one of them over NYU, which was not the case at a few other t10 ASWs I went to.

I think it's a great asset to have. You don't want too many people at your school who resent that they didn't get into their top choice.

A couple people at Mich's ASDasked about HYS (I think a couple ppl others had been admitted to stanford and at least one person to harvard). The school basically refused to say that HYS was better and some answers even implied that MICH is better. E.g. "For clerkships/a career in academia, Mich is better than Harvard. Also Harvard kids are really hurting for jobs bc of their class size" "Stanford isn't as interdisciplinary as Mich, people are more competitive, and the quality of profs for rec letters is often inferior bc so many ppl commute."
Even if these statements are partial truths (why I mostly, but not entirely doubt), it was really offputting to hear faculty/admin bash other schools. Is this kinda stuff common? I haven't been to many ASDs, but at least BU was honest. "If you want a career in academia, this is not the place to come." At least my disappointment in Mich really narrows down my decision...

There was plenty of Columbia bashing at NYU by students, professors and administrators, which was really too bad because otherwise I liked the school.

Oh, and DLS just now . Just need a ding from H now.
