Stanford C/O 2016 Applicants Thread Forum

[helix23]

ETA: the contest is about how many pages (out of 88) contain the words "status checker"

why people are guessing above 88 is supertrollolol

This one is sharp.

like a razor scooter

[TrustInMusic]

I'll shut it down at 2:00 EST.

Brutal wait

Yes, but as we all know all LS is, is one brutal wait after another.

Wert, we're getting drinks together at an ASW. pinkie swear

[wert3813]

There are 88 pages in this thread. State your guess for how many of them include the words "status" or "checker". Jokes about how I have no life, from other people who furiously post on an internet message board about law school are optional but encouraged.

Winner (don't be lame and count, also for tie breaking the winner is the first person to submit an answer) gets a free beer by me if we end up at the same school or go to a same ASW.

LOL I will confess I am a little surprised what direction this went. The serious no bullshitting route.

Brosef... a beer is on the line. shit gets serious.

Also, I don't think the SLS thread has seen this much action before

I guess I shouldn't be considering how clearly depressed/obsessive compulsive we're all getting in light of how long many of us have been waiting in silence for SLS! It's the only school I still care about since I'm going to be doing JSP at Berkeley so when they FINALLY reject me (UR 11/30) I'm completely out. What will I do in my spare time when that day comes?

Probably still TLS. Sigh.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! 88 pages. Only 13 of them don't contain the words "status" or "checker". Khaleesi. A. pretty sure when it's all said and done you are going to be ruling Westeros (and I haven't read to books so I'm not cheating.) B. I'll be at Vandy this weekend, but I see you didn't apply there. I'll keep you apprised of my travel plans, but you might consider calling SLS and explaining that you really need me admitted and all.


Excited for someone to ask about the status checker in roughly two pages.

We should do a similar thing on HLS' thread with "JS"

but JS matters. The status checker is a "problem" everyone keeps bringing up.

Oh shit I can't believe I guessed right. I'll give Faye Deal a call so I can claim my beer at admit days.

[iteachtenthgrade]

I think we should start taking "bets" on when this rejection/waitlist bloodbath will occur.

[wert3813]

CONTEST

When will the Stanford bloodbath occur?

Bloodbath shall be defined as 15 or more DLS or waitlists on a given day as reported by TLS and LSN. Every effort will be made to not double count a TLS and LSN entry. Wert3813 and Iteachtenthgrade will be the sole and final judges of who wins

Rules:
Entry fee is one 20 ounce beer. The winner collects from every person who bets (or as many as they can feasibly collect from; don't be lame, this will make ASWs more fun).
The tiebreaker shall be how many TLS only DLS or WL are reported that day (if someone reports the next day for the previous day, etc. it doesn't count). Submit your guess in the following format:

3/13/13; 17 DLS/WL

And I won't update the OP nearly as often because of life and all, but if you give a guess I will get it in there.

EDIT so this doesn't get huge: You must have applied to Stanford this cycle (DLS already is fine) or be currently attending SLS to play.
