I submitted all in mid November. Why U no respond?

The worst is when law schools seem to respond to some people or in some instances VERY quickly, and then the rest of the time, it's like watching paint dry. I think, if you can wait a little longer, you should hear lots more good news soon.


3.5x, 171. I think my GPA's been below 25percentile at most of my target schools, so overall very pleased with the splitter love I've gotten.

WL/hold: Penn, UVA (withdrawn)
Out: Stanford
Pending: Berkeley, NYU, USC (get this - complete 10/31, FINALLY went into 1st review 1/31)

[80eight]

3.5x/172 with two years of (perhaps interesting?) work experience. I submitted in early October and wrote supplemental essays/why x's for any schools that asked. I'm so happy with my cycle so far... I can't really complain about anything! Gonna be a tough choice in a few months.

Updated w/UT decision

[theduffman]

Update. 2 rejections and 1 acceptance- every rejection stings but probably a great ratio considering I applied to 9 t14's.

In - LSU, OU, UVA
Held for further review - Georgetown
Rejected - Berkeley, Northwestern (I guess those are pretty predictable with a low GPA and no work experience)
Pending - Penn, Cornell, Harvard, Columbia, UCLA, Indiana-Bloomington, and Wash U St. Louis

pretty happy with UVA. Strong chance I'll go there

couple of updates

in - LSU, OU, UVA, WUSTL
Held - Georgetown, Cornell (withdrew)
Rejected - Berkeley, Northwestern, Harvard
Waitlisted - Penn
Pending - Columbia, UCLA, IUB

Need to write essays for Georgetown, UCLA, and Penn...

In at Wash U! I'm sure UVA would never match a Wash U offer, but if Wash U gave me a big scholarship could I use that as slight leverage with UVA?

999,999/1,000,000 times you would not be able to, and that's optimistic.

Lots of WL action here, hoping to get some love from some NY schools or Penn. I had hoped the 4.0 ugpa might make a difference, but it really looks like it hasn't.
