Aye, seems like a very odd strategy for them. I can't see them tying for 14th with Georgetown increasing their applications enough to make up for the big drop in LSAT test takers and being much more selective... I can only hope it doesn't backfire on them if/when they realize their yield drops dramatically.outsidethescope wrote:Wow. A lot of these rejections are surprising. What happens if in their push to become a solid T14, they dramatically reduce class size? I can't see this not happening--with test takers decreasing. There's no way this seems sustainable.

Yea, if UT only excepts 172+ 3.7+ OOS... well those numbers will get you into a much better ranked school that UT... so I don't think they would end up matriculating

Exactly. I think the earlier 173/3.5 rejection poster got into Michigan (but not UT!). It looks like there'll be a plenty of Cornell acceptance/Texas reject combos.

I don't understand, UT.

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Yea... this would make sense if UT was trying to get this insane super class / and waitlisted some of these others in case it doesn't work. Just complete rejection on some of these might back fire

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
I think you are referring to me, but yeah I already have received acceptances from Michigan and Cornell within the t14 so don't think that there was anything wrong with my app or anything. Their approach during a down cycle in applications just puzzles me.gavinstevens wrote:Exactly. I think the earlier 173/3.5 rejection poster got into Michigan (but not UT!).

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Trying to get my application in today, but I've got a question for everybody:
How long of a résumé did you all submit? I know their application says up to three pages, but did anybody submit more than one?

Re: Texas 2011-2012 Applicants
Thanks a bunch. This was my last hold up. I figured one page was all I needed; I thought it was pretty bizarre that they were open to the option of more than that. Taking the plunge tonight 3.77/171/OOS/URMpaul34 wrote:One page. Unless you have some super extensive experience, you should really try to compact it to one page. Most people applying to law school simply don't have enough professional and/or academic experience to justify more than a single page resume. If you're a non-trad who has accomplished a lot, though, then you may want to extend onto another page.
Some people say you should only have one page, no matter what, no exceptions, etc. There's so much resume "advice" out there that it's difficult to figure out what advice to actually follow.

I find this hard to believe. No one has enough worthwhile/relevant experience to make a 3 page resume (awful formatting aside).defendthefort wrote:WRONG. I spoke directly to an insider at admissions at UT. If you have the info, fill up as much of those three pages as possible. Everything helps because they will read every last word. Seriously. They don't want a business one page resume.ccmbr006 wrote:Thanks a bunch. This was my last hold up.

ETA: FWIW, beginning your post with an all caps WRONG is quite rude.
