UC Hastings 2010!!! Forum

[prettypithy]

Hey 0L's,

I was spying on your thread. I just wanted to point out that I got a V20 firm from the top 15%. It was a very rough year though and I know a lot of people who came up empty handed from OCI. However, it bears mentioning that my V20 firm office is only having four summers and two of us are from Hastings. Moral? The economy is shot but if you're a great candidate from Hastings, there is always a place for you. Don't come to Hastings and ride the 33rd-50th percentile if you want BigLaw; you'll be disappointed.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the school and job placement if you PM me.

HTTH.

Congrats! I personally think Hastings is a great school, but imo has the same opportunities as Davis, and Davis will save me $$$$ on rent / hospital bills (just kidding) and I can live a few minutes from campus.

Long time lurker here. Just wondering if Hastings has an ASW. Anyone know?

i emailed them about this

"Congratulations on being admitted! We will be having two admitted student days: March 20 & April 17. We would love to have you join us. You can RSVP to welcome@uchastings.edu when you know which day will work for you. Please let me know if you have any further questions."

What is the general turnaround time for applciations once they are complete?

[Inygma]

Hard to say, they just started accepting people (not including EA). First wave of acceptances went and it seems like everyone applied October/Nov.

[msch0i]

No word from them for a while now...maybe they sent out letters today? Maybe it's a every Thursday thing?

[finalaspects]

so it seems a few more people have gotten their acceptance letters in the mail today.

for those who did, when did you guys go complete/submit apps?

Also... was the letter dated 1/7? If not, when?

Sweet! Guess I'll see some you there. Thanks for the info!

Hm, LSN hasn't reported any more acceptances other than the two...I wonder what's going on.

Not everyone uses LSN.

Really? I wasn't aware of that fact.

..or maybe I was trying to communicate that, since the last wave of Hastings decisions seemed to be followed by a lot of updates on LSN, I found it strange that that is not so today, at least.

But thanks for letting me know.

lol i'm guessing it was the speed of the snail mail. they probably had one wave this week and some people got the mail late or just updated late.

Not sure if youre being sarcastic or not but LSN is definitely a smallish percentage. of the applicants

Not only that... LSN usually attracts the more qualified students. this also applies to this forum as well. the LSN graphs don't make sense if you look at each of the school's medians, except the fact that people who bother to post here or make an account usually have a good GPA or LSAT, or both.

Thanks, if it was dated later than 1/7 it would be big news, if it was 1/7 or before, then that means no new acceptances really.

[a male human]

Did anyone get scholarships, and did it say on the acceptance letter or separately?

[jmaan]

i'll check the date tomorrow...i do remember that there was no scholly info included and id think that I'm worth at least some money so it must come separately.

I got the Hastings acceptance letter on Saturday (1/16) and it is dated 1/13.. So I guess that means they did send out decisions last week. I wonder if it will be a weekly thing? I went complete in late october.

can you tell us your stats? if not specifics then at least with 25%, median or 75%?

Awesome news! Hopefully a lot more of us have acceptances after the holiday.
