Got a rejection from Cornell 4 days after submitting my app. Is that unusually fast?

Guess they couldn't bear to keep you waiting

I wouldn't worry about it, plenty of fish in the stream!

Heh, thanks. My concern is that it might indicate a fatal flaw in my application. It really gives me pawse to think about it

I know this sucks and you may be upset but if I'm honest... think I'd rather be you at this moment because the wait alone is killing me. If schools aren't going to accept me I wish they'd know that right away and communicate it immediately.

I'd comb through the PDF version of your app if you saved it or just log into LSAC and check. If you have an error and used the same docs for other schools you have a chance to correct before they render decisions.

Thanks, this is good advice and I'll do that this evening. You're right that it's nice to hear back quickly, especially given that Cornell's job outcomes aren't as lined up with my goals as other schools'. What I'm wondering is what enabled them to make that call so quickly.

Honestly, I'm wondering the same thing. I'm sure I'll get eaten alive for suggesting this but what could be the harm (now that you've already been rejected) in asking? I'd want to know, after reading through and making sure you yourself don't find anything wrong, what was the tipping point for them and why it was so easy for them to deny you. I'm not sure what Cornell has as its typical timeline for turnaround but I'd guess "4 days" is a tremendous outlier/anomaly. But that's only if you really care to know their reasoning... my final piece of advice, focus on the other schools. Forget Cornell

Yeah honestly I was thinking call them as well, just be super polite and generally concerned without sounding neurotic. 4 days is super fast...

I haven't posted on this thread in ages but I just wanted to say that I got a tattoo today as (probably) my last "I do whatever the hell I want" decision before I go to law school and become 'the man'. Anyone else made/plan on making any bad decisions before they descend into the den of the beasts this coming fall?

To fresh for pics, gotta at least wash it up first. Will post later.

My friend wanted to stick it to the man before law school so she got her hip pierced. It subsequently got infected. Not recommended.

But I am always in favor of tats that can be covered by business attire!

Yeah, hip piercings probably don't get a solid chance to heal because of all the things they rub against.

There's a tattoo on my upper arm/shoulder area I've been wanting for awhile. Can't decide is pre-law school is the best time due to the reasons mentioned above or the worst time due to needing money because I'm about to be really poor for 3 years

I think getting tattoos is a good stress-reliever, personally.

But I could see the "save money" argument too.

Valid concern. I'm already broke from traveling, so I thought I might as well go all in.

I have one on my foot and I really want to get another. I understand why some people get like a million. It's fun.

I have 3 but they're small and medium sized so I'm thinking I'll get a bigger one and then I'll stop.
(Yeah right)

But then I think if I'm gonna do ten, might as well make it a dozen
