Every time I check my status online my heart skips a beat, hoping I don't see the DLS red writing. Luckily still in this!

That means a ding, right?

Most likely, although it could be a waitlist at this point. Which realistically isn't that much better than a ding.

Just making sure i'm not going crazy:

The "mailings" box - between the bio area and the fees area on the left of the status checker - has always been there, right?

Yup that's on all the checkers by default.

Does anybody know once you have been accepted if your status actually changes on your status checker or does it remain as: under review

Your status line disappears on the upper right box; and you get "A decision letter has been sent" in red text at the top-left space.

So she wants us to call up the other schools with deadlines to tell them that their policies/contracts are against LSAC's Statement of Good Practices therefore should be null and void? That shall go swimmingly.

It's a test of our lawyering ability. First person to get a school to change their policy will probably be auto-admitted to Yale.

Since I have little to no intention of going to NYU, I'll test them out.

Too bad I don't have a scholarship anyway...standing doesn't apply, right?

That's overachieving to the max...

Wagon before the horse or something of the sort, but I suppose I am not good enough to understand anyway

I wonder if we'd even have to challenge the school that was requiring you to withdraw elsewhere. Couldn't you accept, keep other apps out, and use this as your backup if school #1 made an issue of it?

My personal non-legal opinion: if I agree to withdraw all my other applications (not acceptances only) by agreeing with the stipulation to the scholarship, then I will withdraw. If I want to challange it, I will challenge it before agreeing to it. I don't like the idea of agreeing to something with no intention of abiding by that agreement.

Exactly...I am pretty sure you tacitly agree by signing the agreement anyway.

[misterbingley]

I don't know. I feel like LSAC procedures are "supreme" over scholarship "contracts." Essentially, that you can't tacitly agree to sign over your rights because the LSAC provisions protects them even from yourself.

[Excellence = a Habit]

Good luck tomorrow guys! I feel more admits coming!

[cardinals1989]

I think I have decided to stop hoping. If I get something, anything, now, it will just be a pleasant surprise.

I don't know if LSAC has any binding power over the member schools. It wouldn't be called a "statement of good practice". Also members schools can choose to practice "bad practice" or "not-so-good practice", and I am not sure what power LSAC has over schools' actual practices anyway.

Actually here:

Read second paragraph, LSAC does not enforce that statement. It's voluntary compliance.

You guys will know when I make a decision. It's exciting to see everyone settle in and take their picks. It's pretty cool to see people end up at schools they had no idea 6 months ago.

Definitely. It has been such a long, but rewarding process. Can't believe the cycle is ending soon for so many.

Also, page 180!!! Mentioning it for good luck!

Ha For real man. Totally didn't think I would be at nyu. Really kinda excited though - just to start ls in general. Feels like I've been in this whole process foreverrr
