Eh, I've been watching my 6 month old niece since Saturday, so sleep deprivation has made my brain a bit slow to kick into gear lately.upfish wrote:Yeah, sorry if my joke made things unclear haha.jacketman03 wrote:Yeah, I posted that, then reread your post, turned on my brain, and figured it was the top quarter.

Btw, babysitting a 6 month old for a week is the best birth control ever.

Yes, I hang out regularly with a toddler. It's an awesome way to get all that out of your system consequence-free haha.jacketman03 wrote: Eh, I've been watching my 6 month old niece since Saturday, so sleep deprivation has made my brain a bit slow to kick into gear lately.

Yeah, how is it?

It's meh. Singleplayer sucks. Beat the entire game in like 3.5 hrs. Multiplayer is fun, but probably not as good as COD.

could be either.
on a side note. Are any apps going to be going into review this week, or will they wait till after spring break?

Either/or would be awesome for me, but it might be based on index numbers, which is also awesome.txag10 wrote:Would that 75th percentile be for both LSAT and GPA, or either or...either/or would be great...jacketman03 wrote:Yeah, I posted that, then reread your post, turned on my brain, and figured it was the top quarter.

Some schools actually have a number program where you are like 112 or wutever on the list, no idea how STCL does it.roarthur wrote:I finally got an email that I was wait listed.Can anyone tell me what that means?
That's what I meant. Should have worded the question better.
In the past years on LSN it seems like most who were waitlisted were later accepted rather than rejected. I know it is only a sample of applicants but it seems like most people got in.
I called yesterday - they said 80 people have been waitlisted so far, 40 of those will be admitted. There is no ranking but they probably won't admit from the waitlist until May.

From the thread for last year, it looks like they started admitting people off the waitlist the week after the 2nd deposit was due.h0peful wrote:I called yesterday - they said 80 people have been waitlisted so far, 40 of those will be admitted.
