Yea. It came about an hour ago. I'm wondering if it's possible to use them for some last minute money from CLS if they give me full ride.

numbers?
Not OP but 174/3.8

Did either of you jump through any hoops (LOCI, interview, or hold essays)?

That's what the letter always said. Stop freaking out, all. It sucks that the one kid who has a 174 3.high got in when he already has money at CLS (no offense, but you've already got some great options, and a lot of us don't)- but lets keep on hopin' y'all. We're in it for the long hall.

Speculation only breeds anxiety

I sure hope not, for the sake of my sanity...and apparently according to lawschoolnumbers and this thread, only 3 people got accepted, so I'm hoping they're going to release more than that...

One won't know the chances of getting off the WL. But someone did a breakdown of waitlist acceptances and it looks like they didn't start accepting people off the WL until June all the way to July 26th.

Does WL acceptances still count in Northwestern's numbers and medians? If it does not, then that's probably the reason they'll waitlist splitters now and accept them later.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

It's possible that they wanted to "test" my commitment. By holding me they are giving me the option to drop out.

Not likely. I'm waiting to see what the money offer will be. If it's substantive, I may have to think it through.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
