Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a privilege waiting with you tonight...
Sincere condolences to those who wanted a different decision, and congratulations to those who got the closure they wanted.
Off for some restless sleep before rejoining the party tomorrow

What did it say?

"Should you choose to accept an offer at another institution, please keep in mind that your strong record indicates that you may be a promising candidate for future admission. You may wish to consider applying as a transfer candidate. Each year we accept a number of students who have performed well in their first year of law school. We often find that these transfer students are some of our strongest students. To make the application process as easy as possible, we offer an abbreviated "fast-track" transfer application to individuals who were offered a place on our waitlsit. We would be happy to speak with you next spring if you are interested in exploring this option."

Then instructions on how to let them know if you're interested...now.

I didn't. But I also doubt there is any significant advantage to the fast track. That said, they were sincere enough to give us the email address of an actual person.

Also interestingly I count 11 WL people in a pool of "less than 100." Course my guess is more than 100 people receive the WL offer and only "less than 100" actually take it.

Can we make this into a beer bet?

That way I get a beer if I don't get accepted. Win.

For people who haven't heard, is it as simple as last names in the latter part of the alphabet? anyone who can contradict that?

edgeofthenight · Post by **edgeofthenight** » Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:38 am

...Radio silence here. My first and last name are early in the alphabet.

Congratulations to everyone waitlisted!

anela00 · Post by **anela00** » Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:38 am

Congrats/sorry to the wait lists. And hugs to those who didn't make it.

If it's any consolation, I did talk to one of those "fast track transfers" a few days ago. I was considering a full ride at the school she started off at, so she was a great person to talk about the comparison with.

FYI: 215 in the Facebook group. One person was added 5 hours ago (so about 2:30am Eastern time). I can't believe they work so late!

ahhhh MOTM, wert, et all - my brothers my brothers congrats on the WL - top 300 in the world, it is indeed quite an accomplishment to be recognized by YLS. i think admits are out of question at this point for earlier applicants like myself, so hoping for a similar fate today. gluck all!

yukos, sabinist, TIM you alive with me? callme, hopeful, edge, apple? others?

az21833 · Post by **az21833** » Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:59 am

did it go to spam for anybody?

sabanist · Post by **sabanist** » Wed Apr 17, 2013 9:09 am

On the computer super early this morning because of COURSE gmail decides to be wonky on a day like today. I kept getting a weird password error on my phone, but it looks like it's having issues for everyone right now.
In good news, I did manage to get it open for a minute, and I'm still alive for now.

Thanks (I want to put an exclamation point here but my keyboard is on the fritz and that's one of the keys that died so just pretend there's one). Good luck to you and everyone else today.

The only e-mail address that's working for me is the one I gave Yale, so that's.... good. I hope they don't use gmail.

Sending best wishes to everyone waiting

Oh no! All of Yale is on gmail... they converted a few years back.

Edit: Wait actually don't know for certain, I just remember they were meant to...

Most important question: Is your Yale e-mail working right now?

(Just realized I'm not sure if you were Yale undergrad. ...If you are, is your e-mail working? Carbon?)

Reporting for duty! Yeah, my Yale e-mail is working fine, so I don't think YLS should be having any problems on their end right now.
