Wow, I come home to see a slew of decisions. Looks like today was ED deferral day, with mostly WLs/dings and one acceptance. Ouch. Painful day.

No regular hold acceptances, only one hold->reserve reported on LSN. Did I miss anything?

I'm another regular hold -> reserve

via snail mail?

yup, letter dated/postmarked 4/16 (in dc here)

[Joan Hollaway]

seems like the only thing theyve been emailing have been (rare) acceptances

[JetstoRJC]

Hold ---> Reserve here as well. Snail mail today.

Reserve=rejection. There's no way around it. Maybe they'll keep you on for the second reserve, or even the third, but in the end you're going to end up with a big hot sticky mess of rejection all over your face and it'll get in your hair and on your clothes, so you might as well just relax your throat muscles, swallow, and use the protein boost to kick start your legal education elsewhere.

Too serious/dramatic for my taste, unless you were being sarcastic, in which case...

That's right, Baby...


Don't stop!

Got the rejection letter today, and I am heartbroken. I was an ED deferral. This is completely expected (non-URM, 4.0/158), but man...they gave me six months to dream.

So sorry to hear...

Thank you for that.

Integrity, i feel your pain, i too have had a lot of time to dream but know that a similar fate likely awaits me. Just keep on fighting. I'm sorry.

Well, at least one day you can tell the associate working for you that his school once rejected you. That's a better dream.

It's just a school in Colombia.

I figured that day would be everyday for you...

[multi720]

so at this time,

Acceptances are e-mailed, and
all other decisions (rejections/waitlists etc) are snail mailed?

[starsong]

So apparently there was a 4/16 ED deferral + regular hold reserve/ding wave and one ED deferral e-mail acceptance yesterday.

[Joan Hollaway]

Wonder if there will actually be a hold-> admit batch or if were just waiting longer to be put in reserve for no good reason

[utcris410]

Hmmm...I'm abroad and they agreed to e-mail me my deferral letter...I wonder if I call and say heeyy guys. just fyi if you happen to make a decision regarding my app soon can you PDF it to me again. Kthxbai! Then wait the 5 minutes for my reserve/rejection to come.

It seems there's been 1 reject, 1 admit, and a whole mess of reserves. I hope there are more admits on the way.
