I got my admission packet but no USB. Does it come separately?

Yes.

Barbie, be safe on your drive! Sounds like it's a pretty nasty storm (currently headed my direction, ugh). Let us know when you've made it to UC.

@Arbiter123: What were you drinking ?

Beer and whiskey. Highly recommended.

I'm going to get waitlisted tomorrow. All the 167s on LSN that didnt have killer GPAs were WL.

I was worried seeing the yellow dots too but depending on GPA, some 167s could get in with $$. I think they just haven't begun accepting too many sub168s yet but they will have to, considering their medians.

a) anyone notice the new website layout?
b) are we expecting another round of admits tomorrow?

Scotch whiskey is the way to go.

Here!! Too dark for pics yet. I don't know whats going on, and if its the cold weather to blame, but I have very sensitive skin and I am completely bright red. My entire face, hands, theighs, everything is bright red and kind of burning. Its weird. If this is how I react to cold weather it seems I will have to stay in my warm and humid Florida. I hope this goes away by morning since I'll be at the law school bright and early haha.

Ouch!
Hope it gets better soon. Enjoy the visit.

*my ears get red/burning very easily in seriously cold weather. They tend to burn even more once I get inside and warm up.

Barbie, sorry you came on such a cold weekend! Hopefully you get used to it. Are you sitting in on any classes tomorrow?

I'm sure your skin will adjust. Since I left Southern California and have been living in a colder places, my skin takes a while to fully adjust every winter. Have fun! Look forward to pictures, I don't think I will be able to visit.

Glad you survived the drive! It took me nearly an hour to drive 10 mile on my way home from work today. Hopefully yours was more pleasant.

Anyway, maybe your skin is dry? Happens a lot in cold weather, especially after bathing. If so, moisturize.

Have fun tomorrow!

Barbie! Sorry to hear about the redness, but I'm goin to echo the others- cold and dry air vs. FL is intense (from this FL native in CO); I'm sure it's temporary.

Have fun tmrw!!!

Yess! I'm excited. I wonder how long the class will be-- and if I'll be completely bored to tears not knowing anything they are talking about.

and I have a few pics on my phone I am trying to upload from the drive ...

[Kilpatrick]

Which class are you going to?

Oh, yes, that is way better. And my new student org (I started one) actually has a description on it now!

[Barbie]

Which class are you going to?

Not sure. Its at ... 10:30 I believe. I'll be on campus starting at 9:30 though. You in it?

There are quite a few classes at 10:30, including one of mine.

Well if you see a random and confused blonde girl (wearing probably inappropriate shoes)-- thatttts me!

Has anyone received their logins for the admitted students part of the site yet?

I would imagine they'd put you in a 1L class, and according to the schedule, the only 1L 10:30 class on Fridays is mine. So you'll either be in that, or some random upper level class, which wouldn't make much sense for a visit.

Probably. Say hi if you want
