It was supposed to be comic relief!

Oh I know. My comment still stands, and probably for me as well.

Just made a Tumblr http://ylsfb.tumblr.com

Any of our already admitted friends can send an email to obwdq4aud2qxu@tumblr.com (just put the number in the subject, your email address, etc won't be recorded) anytime there's a change and the new number will be reflected.

Absolutely flawless.

Yeah, except NO ONE HAS UPDATED IT

[socrates88]

Paging edamame, carboncopy and friends, our loyal informants!

[callmemaybe84]

Why do I feel like we are going to see some 1am ding action tonight?

[anela00]

It's still at 213.

[socrates88]

Imagine all these law profs up at this hour scrambling to get their scores into Asha. Seeing this site would give them a good laugh.

LOL. I have a strong suspicion that they're still admitting 12s and Asha picks. Correct me if you think otherwise.

[socrates88]

Or they have too many 11s and are deciding their fate.

[feelingood]

Do they usually put 10s on the WL or is it limited pretty much to 11s? I'm by no means a statistician so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if what I'm about to say is 100% incorrect but:

Wouldn't 10 from faculty review mean 2 "3's" (i.e. 50th-75th percentile of applicants) and 1 "4" (75th-100th percentile of applicants) (this is assuming that if at least 1 professor is giving you a 4, that none are giving you a 2)?

If you take the upward bounds and weight them equally that'd be the 83rd percentile (10/12). We're talking about ~491 students based on last year's numbers. Seeing as how they only made 237 new offers (something like the top 8.1% of their applicants), that leaves a pretty enormous hole, especially considering that 11's and 12's are the top 8.4% of applicants. The 0.3% gap of their applicants from last year would constitute ~88. Does it make sense that, if they put ~100 on the wait list, that only 12 or fewer will be 10s?

And I also know that this is probably irrelevant because we'll never know if we are 11s, 10s, or something worse.

[socrates88]

Asha only gives the profs 1000 applications, after she chooses 50-80 presumptive admits. So the profs are choosing the top 150-180(15%-18%) out if the top 1/3 of applicants which amounts to top 5-6% of applicants after Asha picks the top 2-3%.

Ahhhhhh okay that makes so much more sense. I knew I had read SOMEWHERE that they put 10s on the wait list--I had no idea that she gave reviewers so few applications.

[sabanist]

maybe I am up too late writing this paper, but I am dying at the tumblr. perfect.

[MannaMan]

No reported dings? This is getting super frustrating.

[test]

There are zero other explanations at this point except that they are lazy or fucking with us.

[callmemaybe84]

Pretty soon, Yale gonna be all:

[az21833]

yeah at this point i think its clear we are going to be part of a massive wave given the way things have gone down, which means either WL or Ding. MOnday was their goal so we will probably hear today or tomorrow

[socrates88]

Still 213? The Tumblr hasn't been updated since 2 AM.

[carboncopyx]

Still 213? The Tumblr hasn't been updated since 2 AM.

That's because it still hasn't changed since 2am.

[rocktower3]

I keep checking the count - will update if anything happens!

[MannaMan]

No movement on the Tumblr/Facebook front?

[socrates88]

Looks like the Tumblr was just refreshed 5 minutes ago with 213--no change.
