preferred waitlist via e-mail
169, 3.75

[jc1988]

damn, this no email thing is making me nervous...

Another waitlist

166/2.7
Ivy grad, applied after playing professional football for a year
The thing is that I did really well on the interview. He literally told me that he would recommend me for admittance.

WTF? Really??? What team?

I thought this was really cool too. I did a little research on Google and I think I figured out who this was, but I don't want to be a creep and I don't want to oust anyone.

It's a shame that Law School is such a numbers game. A person like you should have a chance... I'm sure you'll find a T1 school who respects what you've done.

I can only think of one Ivy grad who's in the NFL, but he's still playing so it couldn't be him...but then again peyso didn't say he's not playing anymore so...

[wackjickham]

Nope, I don't think Ryan Fitzpatrick is headed to law school any time soon. But if the Wonderlic was the LSAT he'd be a shoo-in at Yale.

I had my interview Dec 7th I think, so it took 2+ weeks. But if they admit you I expect it might be quicker.

I think I didn't put as much effort into the interview as I could/should have, because I had found out that I'd gotten into NYU 2 hours before......

[jc1988]

is interview a common procedure? i never got an interview request....is it cuz i dont live in the US?

In my interview I sounded like a typical TLS 0L. I had a really bad feeling coming out of it. For whatever reason I was way better at my NU interview even though the questions asked were harder.

Quick question- I applied to Georgetown PT regular decision. Due to certain circumstances, it is now the only school I really want to attend. I have not received a decision yet. Does it matter if I wait for the decision before shooting an email saying that I would attend if accepted?

I would wait. It won't really help your cause to do it now; perhaps a short letter explaining your circumstances after some sort of decision would be well-advised.

On and off the Miami Dolphins practice squad.

I know Ryan well and played against him once, he's a cool guy.

Also preferred waitlist..... I can't decide if being deferred is better than PWL or not....

[SummerLaw]

Preferred waitlist via e-mail. Anybody know the odds of being accepted off the preferred WL?

It depends on how many people actually stay on the PWL. They accept between 25-50 off of the PWL and typically the PWL is a list of about 400-500 names. That being said - you have to assume that about 200-300 people withdraw from the WL... so your odds could be as bad as 25/500 or as great as 50/200.... speaking to both extremes.

That's what my research has told me... other insights are welcome!

[SummerLaw]

well, looks like I got put on the preferred waitlist. apparently not uncommon after interviewing.

i guess i should just withdraw since there's no way i'll be going there anyhow.....

Same. And same. 169 3.85

I was kind of expecting this because I kinda botched my interview.

How did you find out; (when) did your status change to DR? Thanks.

Not quite sure; I checked it this morning and it was still at UR and then a couple hours later I got the email. So there could not have been more than a two hour difference, if there was any at all.

Same - I checked last night and it was still UR. Got the email this afternoon about PWL.

[elliefont]

whoa, been so interested in december lsat scores, I kinda stopped checking my status. DR 12/21, had an interview a few weeks ago. Anyone else?? nervvvvvooouuussss. looks like I should get an envelope sometime after snowdisaster/christmas holiday is over??

[SummerLaw]

Yeah but it sounds like they only send acceptances via snail mail...and if the decision were anything else you'd have an email! Good luck!

[elliefont]

In!

CONGRAT my gay republican (pink elephant) friend.

hahahhaa

[jc1988]

got a tiny enevelope from georgetown saying i am accepted. LOL...this is so unexpected. I listed my school address in application but they sent this to my home, where i am right now. They even have some hand writings in the letter, pretty personal and sweet.

Thanks georgetown, there is a pretty big chance i will end up there. It's one of my fav schools.

[RhubarbPie]

Have all of the acceptances so far come in small envelopes (as opposed to big packets)?

[secant]

.

[reihsu]

exact same situation

i can't access admitted students website either...(tho it was mentioned on this thread that gulc specified last year that admitted students could only log in this website after 4 days of the status change, sth like that)

goooooooooood luck to all!!!

p.s. this is 100% animal cruelty

For those of you accepted with a DR of 12/21 can you get into the admitted students site? I went DR on 12/21 but will be away from my mail for a while and was hoping to find out if I was accepted or not. Thanks.
