Should I send in a LOCI/updated resume to reflect my uncanny ability to find an appropriate GIF for every mood?

my rothman essay is just not coming together. piece of crap. do rothman invites get some sort of $ as a consolation prize for not being a rothman finalist? I feel like just submitting a piece of paper with the words FIGHT ON would probably give me a better chance right now.

From what I understand the most they give out outside of a Rothman is 30K a year. Up to you to decide if that's worth it.

So how do people on LSN from last year have 105/120k?

yes some will get 35,40 per year or there about but not many. I think the 105/120 is reserved for those with 169 LSAT minimum and a 3.9 or a minority with very high LSAT or GPA or something like that. But these are different times with the collapsing applications. I think USC might spend all its money to defend its median. so if you are a 167 with a 3.9 gpa you might get a really good deal.

I guess I should check in. I submitted 1/3 and I went into first read on 1/18. I was very hesitant to post that because I know most of you have been waiting months without movement but I wanted to check in.

Committee 2nd read 1/23!
C'mon USC you know you want a piece of this. Rawr.

[Charlie.Home]

Holy crap first committee read 1/24. Complete 10/2. There is hope!

[hope14]

My app went complete 1/10 and was at committee 2nd read 1/23, a few days after committee 1st read...should I be worried or excited about the speed at which its moving through the process??

Neither.

Are applicants who are still UR allowed to submit additional information (interest letters,awards, etc)?

Last week i got an email from USC asking if i was going to apply and it was sent to my school email (email on my LSAC account). I did request a fee waiver earlier but that was via gmail. well below the median, not an URM. Any idea why this might happen? I was considering doing this, but it's a waste of $100 if they are just trying to pad their stats. I do have very good softs, but nothing they would know about via LSAC (Varsity athlete, startup experience, IBAnking, etc.)

Are we figuring 50ish Rothman invites altogether this cycle and 4 are invited to LA?

IMO, sounds like they just want to boost the # of applications they've received. If your numbers are far enough below their medians that an acceptance seems unlikely, reiterate your request for a fee waiver and if you get it apply.

Holy shit. Committee first read 1/23. I went complete 11/5 and this is the first movement since then.

That Sloth "Deal With It" GIF is so choice.

More sloth-themed entertainment for all of us waiters. Seriously, if you watch one youtube today, make it this one.
