Separate question: visiting a school in a few weeks that doesn't do interviews but is very open to letting you talk to admissions officers when you're there. Is it better to call the general admissions office to see if the director of admissions is available that day or to email the director directly about it (email and other info is publicly available online)? Leaning towards emailing him/her directly. Is there any TLS wisdom about this?

Check your PMs!

How were they able to identify you?

Well I am not the most discreet about things posting here, some of my softs were highly unique that would make me easily identifiable from my application.

All you Georgetown fee waiver people need to tell me your secret!

With your numbers I don't think you need to worry With my experience with last cycle, some of these waivers come out in waves, so I wouldn't worry because you obviously qualify for a waiver.

Also, some schools actually don't fee waive people above their sweet spot. So that could be it.

Failing to see the logic in this. Are they scared to YP? Or having trouble identifying who to YP? I guess applying without a fee waiver could be a marking of interest, but it could also just be a marker of having too much money.

Yep, you answered your own question. They would much rather have a 177/4.0 reach out to them to apply, because it is a substantial indicator that said person has a particular reason to want to be at their 165/3.5 school.

If we're all really interested in this, maybe Spivey would be willing to give us some advice? I'd love to hear his perspective on this!

+1, everyone should read the PDF in the OP of that thread.

Love that document, it's so helpful! I read through the interview section and skimmed other sections, but it doesn't look like our scenario (visiting a school) was addressed. Because Spivey has been active in this thread, I thought he might just see this and answer it, but I'll repost this in his thread.

[lilyt93]

For those interested, he responded already!

You guys beat me to the punch, I should snoop around here more often.

Also, here you go, the dates applications open for all top 50 schools (who have said when they will open), thanks again to our awesome Spivey Consulting Intern.

http://spiveyconsulting.com/blog/open/

I should mention before I flee back to the safety of my little thread, tomorrow I will be tweeting some cool inside data.

I can't release the data until tomorrow or I'll stop getting the data (no good!), but its the final (essentially) 2013/14 cycle data including LSAT bandwidths and schools + or - in applications. It's pretty cool stuff, alas no June LSAT stuff which should be coming publically any day now and which I will also tweet.

OMG YES! I can not wait for this! It is time for my monthly log in to twitter!

Hey all,

That 8% drop sounds about right. Last month, I listened in on an MSU webinar on the admissions process and the assistant dean mentioned that the number of applicants are projected to go down 6%-8% from last cycle. (He must know something.)

Also, if anyone wants to know how the DC LSAC Forum went, just PM me. If there is going to be one in a city near you, I suggest you attend. I was even able to listen in on a workshop with one of the LSAT question writers.

I also attended the DC LSAC forum and met some people there, it was pretty amazing~

You should tweet it at 12:01 am - that's tomorrow…or at least tell us when to expect it tomorrow.

I'll starting tweeting the school +/- data at 9am MT tomorrow.

TY Mike! I'm interested (obviously) to see how Texas does since the LSN data seems to imply very few people were in who were less than last year's LSAT median. I'm gonna predict a 168.

Attax I wasn't under the impression that Spivey meant he was releasing medians...

[Dream_weaver32]

My interpretation was he was releasing number of total applicants for the cycle and number of LSAT's given.

[Learn_Live_Hope]

When do we find out the medians?

[oxie]

When do we find out the medians?

Medians don't really get finalized until the academic year starts and schools lock down who actually enrolled. I believe last year schools started releasing stats for their incoming classes in late August.

Also: best of luck to everyone who's applying this year -- I hope you all have great cycles!
