When is ASW?

I believe it is the weekdn of 3/29, also anyone who is familiar with the D.C. area, where would be a good place to stay near Georgetown, and how is public transp in D.C.?

I have no idea on where to stay, since GULC and GU are practically on opposite sides of town, but the metro is cheap, easy, and can be picked up right at the airport if you fly into Reagan.

since GULC and GU

It's walkable. Not necessarily convenient or easy, but doable.

I haven't updated in a month and that was only because they processed my interview. Sigh. I feel like they've forgotten me.

Georgetown proper doesn't have a metro stop. It's miserable. There are, however, Georgetown owned shuttle buses.

It's walkable? Yikes. How long of a walk are we talking here?

And, yeah, the whole Georgetown shuttle situation is a pain. I studied at GU and lived on campus while interning near Fort McNair -- had to be at work at 8AM. Total nightmare.

[Blumpbeef]

Oh, you meant the UG campus? Ya, that's definitely not walkable.

I love walking though and I did go from GWU to GULC (lots of stuff to see on the way), and I walked to Arlington too.

I went to the ASW website and a password and username was sent to my email address. However, when I tried this combo the system told me that I generated an invalid combination. I guess this is par for the course?

Yes, Grats, you're in!

Got a viewbook deal from GTown in the mail today.

The ASW generated a password! I hope this means what I think it does! I had an update last night. No password this morning, and then another update this afternoon. Then it worked!

Be relaxed and normal, have solid reasons for wanting to go to law school, and for Georgetown specifically. Show your enthusiasm for the school. Then take that (golden!) opportunity to ask your interviewer about his/her background, career, etc- they should be selling you Georgetown while you sell them yourself, and also having them talk about themselves makes the whole thing much less awkward.

I just read this and realized that my PM described the exact opposite of everything you said to do

Naw, I'm sure you were fine it always seems worse than it is!! I'm sure the interviewers know they can be intimidating and factor that in.

I was half an hour late to mine due to a traffic incident, so you can't have done anything worse than that

[meredy171]

Any advice on sending LOCI before receiving a decision?

I interviewed on 2/15 and went completed 2/17. No citizenship update and nothing since.

I'm worried I may be heading for a waitlist. Anyone else in this position? Think an LOCI will help?

[brownpride]

Waitlisted today with a 173/4.18.

[gravityrides0]

Waitlisted today with a 173/4.18.

Wow. YP?

[benburns214]

Waitlisted today with a 173/4.18.

Yeah that makes little to no sense.

Unless he's murdered someone, then yes.

Are you thinking of sending a LOCI?

[brownpride]

Yeah, I'm assuming yield protect. Still, GT is my 2nd choice - I thought I made it pretty clear I legitimately want to go there.
