Just got the email today! Applied in early January and had pretty much given up hope. Best of luck to everyone still waiting for a decision!

first off, congratulations!!

but whyyyyyy must you keep giving me hope when really there is none left?!
I've been wanting YLS for years, and now that I know I am almost 100% headed for WL/ding, it's so sad

Ha hey now, it's not over till it's over! I was thinking the exact same thing until I got the email. Definitely still spots left!

[Alassio]

Thanks for the support rocktower

But especially if I get in...

Here is the source of your stress

[az21833]

now we know why they we were so "behind schedule" haha. caught up quickly today with those march submits

[tekumamba]

checking this thread a billion times a day reminds me of when i was checking for the oct lsat during the superstorm sandy times... so much anxiety and just wanting to know!!

[ladyberry]

why haven't they updated their twitter since friday? how rude.

[test]

Well at least now I won't have a better option than a full ride elsewhere and won't have debt! yay!

[bernaldiaz]

At best they are so in a bubble that they don't realize what this process looks like at this point from the outside. At worst they are being malicious. I say its somewhere in between.

This remains my favorite post of the past few days. Public shaming Asha into giving us our decisions

[ladyberry]

does anybody have any clue whats actually going on? ie, has anybody spoken with anybody from yls admissions re process/timeline today, etc?

They don't like talking to applicants during admissions. It adds to their sense of being "exclusive". That being said, it pretty easy to figre out the general timeline. WL is the last thing and its almost always between the 15-20th of april. So today was wrapping up admits (maybe a few more next few days), a reject wave maybe at the end of this week/beginning of next, then WL sometimes next week.

If we went complete in late-March and haven't heard yet, have we been passed over?

I would seriously doubt it.

Do you think schools ever freak out about top admitted students like we do? "We accepted Ms. X with a 178/3.94 in December and then radio silence! Why doesn't she just deposit or withdraw, it's cruel to make us wait this long..."

only for fullys not ordinary admits. want to redistribute $$$ in time and use efficiently

BOOM

[az21833]

they said that was their aim rather. i think they will meet it

[ladyberry]

perhaps this is an overly micro-level of detail, but for those who submitted on 3/4 and heard news today, what time of day on 3/4 did you submit?

[socrates88]

Or, perhaps more importantly, when did you guys go complete?

I applied through quantum time - my application was submitted every moment of every day, and I was up for all possible outcomes, but every time the admissions committee sat down to examine my file, it disappeared. And so while in all other universes I had an infinite number of outcomes, in this one, I could only be dinged.
