This is great, I feel like they are getting more apps every year as the generous scholarships become better known and I want them to stay selective
I think they added about 100 more students than the previous cycle's total, which is substantial and possibly unintentional, i.e. every law school admits more students than they believe will accept.

Yeah it was completely unintentional. They tried to get a bunch of people to defer once they realized how big our class was going to be. I'll bet they will be much more careful this year and probably shoot for higher medians since we've had so much interest the past couple of cycles. I know we are one of the few schools to have an increase in apps the last couple years while most schools apps are down sharply.

Be cautiously optimistic. I just interviewed with a somewhat substantially lower LSAT score than you.

I was even a bit shocked, but apparently I have a fairly decent shot of getting in even without a retake and i'm not an URM.

No mention of stipend.. But a free t-shirt! Which is almost better anyway, right?

Submitted 9/11
Interview 9/17
Decision 9/24

Then there was a whole bunch of silence before the travel award and scholarship e-mails this week, but it's still much faster than any of the other schools I applied to.

Congrats! My GPA is around the 75th percentile so maybe that's helping... and I think my softs are good too. But everyone makes the LSAT sound like the be-all-end-all of everything, so it's still a nice surprise to see that my application is being considered. I'm sure you feel the same way!

I got the email about the travel stipend as well. Emailed back indicating interest and asking for more details. Got a response saying that details would be forthcoming. I'll let y'all know what I hear.

chuckbass · Post by **chuckbass** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:35 pm

Also FYI I've been really slow responding to PMs b/c law school but I will get to them

WUSTL C&F portion is really vague, are we supposed to provide an addendum for minor traffic violations? I got a ticket for no seatbeat and another for a minor car accident and one for speeding all from three years ago or later
