no offense but that 169=177 speculation makes the law school admission process look so pathetic

The whole thing is a joke.

And since I'm the one cycling through 10 status checkers a day (including ED NW) I feel like the butt of it.

I try to remind myself that the name of your school doesn't define who you are or could be, but it's gets harder every day.

Relying 90% on two numbers is kind of pathetic in itself; while I think you're right to call into question not differentiating a 177 from a 169, I think his general logic probably stands.

I found his/her speculation very interesting and "makes sense"...
but it just made the admission process appear to be "nothing but" a number game for the school's 509 report

agree
it never hurts to get into a bigger name
but the name doesn't define us

I'm not trying to say that 177=169 across the board. If the ED program is being used to begin building a class to meet certain goals for GPA/LSAT, a splitter is not of much value at this point in the cycle. That's all.

I think the problem with the whole process is that in a way, the name does define us. In undergrad, you can go to a much larger number of schools that will give you adequate job outcomes. Law school has a much smaller window, and the name matters a whole lot more.

Also, apologies if you're a woman. My pronoun game needs work.

I'm sincerely curious about the # of ED they accept every circle
so that I could better understand how much effect of ED admission on building a class

I hear you all, but I still don't get why the status couldn't just say: "Law school wide holiday party this afternoon. The office will be closed from 1pm on. No round of ED decisions today."?

[jjcorvino]

10 minutes before the office closes and all hope is lost.

Honestly this. I'm not waiting for Kanye to drop his new album, so I don't understand why they are building hype like this.

It's law school admissions. Have some transparency for crying out loud.

[guynourmin]

Held, officially.

Held.

Held or rejected. Just saw status update and no fees under my header. Just waiting for that letter...

[jjcorvino]

It says that my decision letter is sent, haven't received an email.

[arthrod]

You guys can check directly from the decision, I didn't receive from the e-mail either, but the letter was there.

Thanks, held.

[jaynejayne]

how good are odds of being held ED then admitted?

Me too.

It isn't uncommon. If they didn't like something about you, they'd have just rejected you outright.

I think I shared this before but Ill share it once more. A really good friend of mine applied ED at NU and was held, but sometime after the hold in December and the start of Spring Semester at my UG (Jan 9 or 10) he was accepted and then eventually offered 120k to attend.

Pretty sick deal right?

[USMC2Law]

Held.
