I was telling my SO about the ding wave and he didn't believe that I made it through - he insisted on re-sorting through all my spam and trash mail for it (not that I don't do that every time I hear of a ding or anything

My sister: "Hmm... check your spam folder. Let me check the mail. Do they call if they reject you? Check your phone."

Yale Law Admissions ‏@ylsadmissions
We apparently hired Professor Trelawney to tell us what to expect this week. There will be no deny notices going out today.

bbkk, thanks for being so on top of the twitter. Maybe we'll all get 203 calls this week!

...friends...I think this is the idea that Trelawny only made 2 accurate predictions in her entire life...

I was thinking it was about Professor Trelawny seeing the Grim everywhere (the Grim in this case being dings, not death).

Guys, I think that this means that their earlier tweet (on what to expect this week) was based on Trelawney-esque divinations, but they have since realized that these divinations were incorrect, hence the update today.

KoalaCity is clearly saying there will be admit calls later.

ETA: There was bad news at the beginning of the week though, as predicted...

Well, even Trelawney was right once in a while.

So the Trelawney bit either means they were correct or they were incorrect...

Bold.

^ Definitely this. With professors involved, I'm surprised YLS ever manages to send out decisions!

Scvaz7 · Post by **Scvaz7** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 1:47 pm

So how many acceptances do we think there will be today?

vuthy · Post by **vuthy** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 1:47 pm

Can we create a bogus twitter account, reply with a request for clarification, and see what happens?*
