In at UC Hastings!! Forum

164, 3.37, LEOP, and waiting, waiting, waiting. Now I wonder if I should have foregone LEOP to have an answer sooner. For anyone else who applied LEOP, I inquired about the time frame, and was told we'll have our decisions in March.... Congrats to all the new Hastings admits!

Are you sure decisions are made for LEOP applicants in March? I submitted my application in late November.

I'm just hoping they don't fill up on 164s before they get to me!

I feel the same way. I visited the school two weeks ago, and a very friendly adcom told me that LEOP decisions are made at the end of the cycle, in March. I also applied in November, but only went complete after Christmas due to a LOR mixup. Unlike most schools, Hastings doesn't take letters mailed or faxed directly to admissions. Still, I was extremely impressed with everyone I met there. Due to scheduling, I had to visit before classes resumed, and a security guard volunteered to take me on a tour of the campus. I was really charmed and touched by his devotion to the school, since he obviously was not paid to be my tour guide.

I have heard Hastings is saving 20% of the seats for us LEOPers, and that the median LEOP LSAT is under 160. I hope things go faster this year, though; March seems so far away.

well lets hope for my sake that there are no score between 164 and 160... otherwise my chances are not looking so hot...

Just got the mail, and in with 164/3.34! Huge relief as I'd begun to doubt my chances at the better schools I applied to.

URM?

I wonder what percentage of LEOP applications make up their total application pool. If it's more than 20%, that would suck for competitive candidates who applied to the program.

About as white as they come.

So I have a chance! Yes.

[ChrisCiolko]

Maybe 164 is their 'magic number' this year...

[thissucks]

FINALLY. In.

Went complete early December.

The magic # 164/3.7

In today -- my first acceptance

In today! Thin-ish envelope so don't be scared!

I'm from the East Coast and don't know much about UC-Hastings except for the fact that it seems to be well respected on this board!

[jawsome]

Congrats everyone. I just checked LSN and realized I'm so far the lowest LSAT score (162). I don't have a LSN account, so I thought I'd let those of you still waiting. I applied ED, though, and found out about 6 weeks ago.

162/3.76 if you're curious.

[casper00]

In today...164/3.6. Anyone know if they will offer travel stipends for ASDs?

Yes, it was unusual, but the Dean (not the admissions Dean, but the LS Dean) has a special interest in me, so she conveyed.

This might give an answer as to why: --LinkRemoved--
