In.

I'm writing my 250 about this preposterous Jabba the Hutt cake.

[Kronk]

it's kind of funny seeing how everyone is so confident about their chances at other schools and when it comes to yale its pretty much an unsolvable mystery. i also love the fact that its like 3,000 applicants all throwing hail marys at the same time.

What!? Yale is expecting a Hail Mary? Damnit, I specifically told Yale to run the option! I'm hosed.

Pfft the option is for UG. We're on the professional level now!

Yeah. Harvard's letting Joshua Cribbs run the Wildcat nowadays. Yale's got some class.

Dear XXXX,
Your application for admission to Yale Law School is complete. We will communicate with you again when a decision has been reached.

Because the entire faculty are involved in reviewing applications, our review process naturally takes longer than that of most schools. The majority of our decisions are made in February, March, and April. We ask that you please do not contact the Admissions Office to inquire about the status of your application; frequent phone and email inquiries delay consideration of applications.

Thank you for your interest in Yale. We look forward to reviewing your application.

when did you apply--and when did you get that email?

Thanks!

[Lermontov]

FWIW, I applied around the 13th and got that same email the 22nd (both Oct.)

But harvard is so much cooler

[Kronk]

I really don't want to have 550 person class sizes.

[0L Hoping for 1]

I really don't want to have 550 person class sizes.

Yea a 6.8 to 1 teacher-student ratio. Who wants that?!

Also, I havent decided if I want to waste the money applying yet. Anyone have suggestions on the last date to get your app in? I know Yale doesnt care much about timing, but is early December too late?

[Kronk]

I was talking about Harvard's 550 class size. I think their teacher / student ratio is much higher, like 10.5 or something.

Doubtful. I doubt you'll see much of a difference between a November applicant, a December applicant, and a right-around-New-Years applicant.

Or at least that's how Asha makes it sound on 203.

complete email from Yale today... now the waiting game

Why throw money away on a Yale application? Just whip out a lighter and burn $85. You'll have more fun and if you're anything like most law school applicants your chance of admission to Yale will be pretty much the same whether you pay the application fee or not.

...that really doesn't sound fun. But, you know, I'm a girl. Not really into lighting things on fire unless it's incense.

Because I am at or above both of their medians and have done things with my life.

Ok, but how much fun is the Yale app? Sure, the 250 might be fun if you get into it, but it's still an application.

Money has all kinds of unusual chemicals in it. Burns in pretty colors. Or so I have been led to believe.

Anyone notice that Yale re-designed its website? It looks a lot better than the old one, IMO.

New: http://www.law.yale.edu/

[nixxers]

hmm....yale is the last application to go complete. I got notification that they received my app on October 21, but have heard nothing. How long do I wait before I call to check?

I got the received email on the same day and the complete email on Oct. 30. I don't think I'd call, but perhaps you could send them an email? They ask applicants not to call about the status of their applications in their complete email.

anyone in this thread go to yale undergrad? pm me if you're willing to disclose; i'm curious.
