Pre-law advisor at my undergrad uni.

I wouldn't worry too much. I sent my PS off to a pre-law advisor, and she thought it was terrible. I thought it was alright, so I sent it off anyway, with pretty positive results.

My pre-law advisor didn't have the time to help me, and I still did fine, so I don't think that they're necessarily essential.

FWIW, our pre-law advisor is pretty terrible.

Battle of understatements?

No doubt.

In fact, she told me I should aim for American but had a decent shot at Yale in the same sentence.

sounds like sound advice to me.

I can actually understand how someone could get Yale but nothing else in the top 10. Obviously, the odds arer minuscule, but it could happen.

Sure, but as far as giving a student who knows nothing of law school admissions an idea of where to apply--it's more than a little misleading. I would hazard a guess that <1% of Yale admits get nothing else in the t10.

i guess anything is possible, but i can't see this happening.

I've been checking in on this thread occasionally and it seems like S hasn't accepted anyone in the past week and a half (at least on TLS). Anyone want to guess when/if the next wave will happen?

I thought that three people got in last Thursday?

Wait didn't you use a private admissions consultant or something?

yeah 3 got in last week, 2 URMs and I'm not sure about the other one.

Does anyone know if this is Stanford's spring break?

No?

[tomhobbes]

My bad. But you have to admit, that does qualify as "or something."

Haha, true. Nice catch!

I'm spending 5 days in SF around Berkeley's ASW, and I was thinking of making a visit to Stanford. It's probably too late at that point, but any chance it could give me a small boost since I'd be showing more interest?

There's nothing to see at Palo Alto Technical Institute.

At least it's not Palo Alto Technical State University.

The Harvard thread made me feel bad about my 750 word LOCI to Stanford. But I really think everything in the LOCI was worth saying. Some of it was about what I've been doing, and some of it was some pretty Stanford-specific, and what I think is compelling, stuff. Hard to explain why here though. Oh well. There was just nothing in my regular application that showed Stanford that I was applying to them not just because they're a top school, but because I love Stanford.

I assume you are going to the Cal State Oakland ASW, yes?
