What do you mean by serious? Like as in, do you need to have it or what?
Any differences in usage for law students v. college students other than the usual suspects (e.g. adding your law school)?

It only started picking up now in anticipation of OCI. Prior to that, I don't think anyone was too serious about it.

You'll probably want a more professional picture than your average college student. You suit up for the first day of orientation and they'll take a professional portrait, and you can email admissions and ask for them to email you the pic and use that.

Given how wretched I was feeling the morning that photo was taken, I'll agree wholeheartedly that it really is professional grade. 180.

They missed their self imposed deadline last year, and they ended up coming out in early to mid July. I bet they are out next week.

How do they inform you of sections? Email, or do I have to go on the wustl key/connect/something to check?

And I was asked to submit my own picture for my school ID? Are there any requirements, like same color background, etc. Can I just bring my spare passport photos in person?

Use whatever photo you want. I took a Mc-Lovin style selfie on my webcam.

So I just got my faculty advisor - Professor Andrew Tuch. I'd appreciate any feedback on him if you'd had a class with him (how helpful/approachable he is, knowledgeable, etc.) Feel free to p/m if you'd rather not share with everyone

Thanks for all your help guys!

He hasn't taught any of us, so one of the 3Ls will have to elaborate on this one. From what I know, he's a younger dude, specializes in corporate law, has an SJD (basically the highest legal degree you can get). That's about all that I know.

Well, students are still being admitted, though I'm not sure how many or to what extent that affects sections

I was hoping to take the Miami backdoor with Bryan Cave, since they have an office there. Backfired.

Is there anyone who has made their deposits still waiting on decisions from other schools/planning on withdrawing?

I saw their course grid. At least they've got Hollander-Blumoff to offset Greenfield and Drobak.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
