May as well withdraw before they boost their selectivity ranking.

there's still another ASW in a few weeks! LET IT RIDE!

There is? Ok I calm down now.

Yup. On the 14th. I'm debating going and just sitting outside the admissions office looking pitiful.

Does the admissions office prefer to receive LOCI and other supplemental materials by email or snail mail? Or both?

Just gonna bump this as I'm still wondering which they prefer...

No idea. I'd give them a call. But my limited experiences with making changes/adding stuff to my application via email went very successfully. They just added it to my application. I made it easier on them by sending it as a .doc AND as a .pdf.

Not to mention mail adds on like an extra 5 days AT LEAST, for them to receive it, get it to the right office, open it, process it, etc.

Oh good. Apparently, I'll be the one in the Pierrette costume.

So...I'm going to ASD because my boyfriend got in and I'm still UR 1/7 at this point with a very low LSAT for NYU but a high GPA........how should I handle this? Should I talk to admissions about it and further reiterate my interest? or is that inappropriate at an admitted students event? I'm not just crashing it though, my bf legitimately wants me to come check it out lol.

I already sent an LOCI around the middle of January but it looks like I'm headed for a WL or rejection since it's been so long.

Hmmm Kinda like a crasher at an ASD event "might" be a lil inappropriate for this event. But is show's your determination!

I would go as a SO, but casually have the BF chat up with the admission people (dean) about the situation. They would be curious and talk to you. But you would have to be smooth. Very good practice for future career networking (making an casual meeting into a business connection).

TLS CLS/NYU ASW #2 Survey

If you're attending either/both admitted students days this weekend
in Manhattan and might be interested in a TLS meet-up, please
fill out this quick survey. This is so last minute, but I figured there
might be interested people.

Yeah I would be cautious about it, could make for an awkward conversation if you go about it wrong. And looking at your profile and the schools you're not getting into, I don't think the odds are really in your favor at this point. Not trying to be rude about it (and I hope you don't take it that way!), just suggesting that maybe it's not really worth it...

lol yeah...that was a little insulting. I wonder how the world would be if no one went for anything when they had nothing to lose...

Confidence goes a long way, and presented by your BF is a good way to start since it's obviously a part of his decision making process.

What's insulting about it? MST pointed out that the cycle does not indicate a positive response. But that said, I think you're right; go for it! What's the worst that can happen? They say no.

Yeah he has a point but it was a little unnecessary IMO.

[jplwine]

Dinged via e-mail. No surprise, but I really appreciated the 1 and 1/2 weeks of torture after they updated my status to DLS. Would have been easier if you had gotten it right the first time. Good luck to those still waiting.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like an unfortunate glitch.

Sorry it came off as offensive. You came in asking if it was inappropriate to do that and my opinion was yes, I think it would be a bit awkward to bring somebody to an ASW who wasn't admitted and use that an an opportunity to push forward somebody, especially somebody who probably isn't on the fringe anyways... If you were getting into other t14's for example it'd make more sense and seem less awkward, but otherwise it just screams awkward to me. If you were going to do it anyways and only wanted to hear "Do it! Can't hurt to ask!" then why did you bring it up?

lol I'm probably going to go on Friday...so if it's awkward at ASD i'll wait till the next day to go in.

Yeah, I'm bitter right now, but I'll get over it.

still 1/5. I really want to be done with status checking at this point and move on to better things.
