I'm near the very end of the alphabet

also rejected today, applied the day before the deadline. (I've now gotten a decision from everyone but Penn - I at least have to respect Yale's timeliness.)

If I'm one of those and still alive, is it safe to say I made it to FR?

in at one or both of HS. median GPA +- .05 in either direction, median LSAT +- 1 in either direction

KJD but good softs for a KJD. I also really liked my PS/DS/250. Apparently my LORs were homeruns (I had an interview over the weekend where the interviewer, a CoA judge, said I'd be flattered if I could read my LoRs

Today was rough but not rough enough for anyone to feel safe that they made it to FR, IMO. Maybe after tomorrow...

+1 I'd probably even go as late as Thursday, but I'm a pessimist.

Dinged. 175LSAT/ GPA ~75th

Good luck to everyone who's still swimming

Received my ding today. LSAT>75%, GPA<25%

I knew it was a bit of a pipedream. Not upset.

I'm so sorry to all the dings

I know you all have fabulous alternative options! Good luck on the rest of your cycles!

nutellahero · Post by **nutellahero** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 7:36 pm

Any guesses as to why dings are spread over 2 days?

@ylsadmissions
We had a group of files returned early, so a -few- admit calls tonight. Almost not worth tweeting, but to avoid any confusion...

I love how the email for this ding basically said, "don't miss out on another school's seat deposit because you're keeping your hopes up. Denied."

"Returned early" meaning returned by faculty committee to admissions office, correct?

So interesting to me that YLS is so aware of -- and sensitive to -- applicants' need to know timelines, etc. If any school could get away with not saying anything on twitter, it would be YLS, but they actually are the most transparent in that way.

I feel like this is the closest I will ever get to Asha speaking directly to me.

First time posting in this thread, but I have a feeling the mania of this week won't keep me away from lurking anyways. New tweet out:

I don't think so. Many calls go out between 10 & 11pm, in the past.
