THE DING BAR Forum

Is this thread appropriate for cycle related rants? or only for venting after dings.

Only for venting after dings. I'm saving up my venom for that wonderful day

I agree... I'm almost hoping for another school to ding me so that I can take them down. So far only UVA has felt my wrath.

[eaglemuncher]

IF this person is indicative of the type of student that attends GW, then I hope I get dinged...I probably will anyways.

[lhlee]

There is a difference between uninformed and not giving a shit.

Oooh, I've defaced the DING BAR thread! Not that!

Ladies and Gentlemen Boo this (wo)man.

Just admit you made a mistake rather than adopting a false cavalier attitude.

To restore the tone:

Dearest Rutgers Camden:

Last year when I was but a lowly sophomore you notified me of acceptance and a full scholarship. This year with a higher LSAT, senior status, and most importantly HAVING APPLIED TO YOUR SCHOOL you decide not to grace me with admittance into the third-best law school in a state that somehow comes in third after Philly and NYC in a "Best State in the State of NJ Contest." Your governors fat, your football team was a "has-been" well before it was an "is," and your University President is a short alcoholic.

Also, a strand of chlamydiae is named after you.

Semper

Thank you for making the ding bar fun again.

I feel your pain, I've been there. But quit being such a baby - I hope you didn't actually send that letter. 10,000+ apply and there's just a lot of rejections. I was an alum with great letters and softs and no one handed me anything. As disappointed as I was, I wasn't pissed off and blaming others, I tried harder and got in a later cycle because I knew that's where I wanted to go. Either try again another time or enroll somewhere else - whatever you choose, it will be where you're supposed to go.

lol

+1. This place is supposed to be in good fun, no need to get offended. You already go there so what do you have to worry about?

To the University of Illinois-

On a beautiful fall day in October of 2007, I visited Champaign-Urbana for the first time. I was there to attend a football game- to watch my beloved Wolverines crush your mascot-less, politically-incorrect "Fighting Illini" football team. I met a friend who was attending Illinois law, and she showed me around the building. "You should come to school here!" she said enthusiastically. I smiled pleasantly, trying to imagine myself in this building that looked like a 1970s elementary school.

I tried to keep an open mind as I sat in the bottom bowl of your piece-of-shit football stadium, until water from the top deck started dripping on us, and I realized that I was surrounded by men (and women) with mullets, wearing Illini orange with camouflage accents.

The garamond-fonted rejection e-mail you sent me really sealed the deal. My future is not in the cornfields of rural Illinois. I didn't want to go to law school on the set of Signs, anyways.

Thanks for the fee waiver!

I believe Illinois is a school designed for southern Illinois hillbillies who don't get along with city folk (thus all Chicago is off table) but still want in-state tuition and access to free corn. Frequently asked question from most Illini applicants on TLS: "Is being Amish considered URM?" Also, orange? The douche-force is strong with that color, unless you're a pumpkin.

[miazdc]

"Is being Amish considered URM?"

hahahaha.

Deat UVA:

*#$% your speed over formality. I wanted to go to your school until I realized my humble, sometime exciting life in NYC, is way more than Charlottesville will ever be.

P.S. Frat party's suck!

[NonTradHealthLaw]

Dear Regent,

What? Really? After all the overtures you made - all the emails, all the phone calls - this is how you respond?

You said you were keeping an eye out for my application, Regent. You said you had scholarship money waiting for me; all I had to do was apply and you would be mine (or, I would be yours, I guess?)

You know, if you weren't such a good little christian school, I'd have thought you wanted more from me than just an application. Then again, maybe you did, and it was my repeated failure to respond to your signals that finally turned you off. Was that it? Did I play too hard to get?

We could have had a lot of fun, you and me, Regent. We could have spent three years together, studying law, going to church... um... praying?... I don't know, whatever it is you do when you go to the law school with a unique christian perspective. Yeah, we could totally have gone all-out Jesusy on and/or with each other, Regent.

But now this. How could you?

No, really - how could you reject me? I didn't even apply.

Well, have a good life, I guess,

Tears. Streaming. Down. My. Face. Thanks for this bit of sarcastic poetry.

Dear GW,
Althought you have not yet rejected me, I have been inspired by one of your current students trolling the "THE DING BAR" thread on TLS.com to write that I will not be enrolling regardless of the outcome of my application review. Mr. "gwlaw2012" has shown me that those who attend GWU lack a sense of humor, are stubborn, closeminded, and fail the first time around. I am none of these things and never fail. Therefore, I think the fit between us is not a natural one. Thank you for taking the time to look at my application and I look forward to not seeing you in the fall.
Sincerely,
JakeL

LOL grammar fail. As much as I love pointing these out, I try to avoid it ITT since people are typically so rage-blinded that they can't see their own mistakes... So I let it slide

very good point. now i feel like a jerk.

george mason, you suck. first you beat my team in the '06 tournament with your so called "cinderella story." now, you've denied me acceptance to your law school? keep wearing those slippers, and have fun being like the 5th ranked dc school (after all the t14).

I like frat parties -- but UVA still sucks. They're not even a poor rendition of a frat party. With their questionable (admissions) practices and inflated sense of self-worth, UVA is more like a bunch of ugly, trashy, middle school girls getting together for a slumber party while being shunned by everyone else in their grade.

Dear Fordham,

You are the Hyacinth Bucket of NYC law schools, and your most prominent alumnus is notable mostly for being second fiddle to Walter Mondale.

Yesterday, when I received my 100000th email from Regent Law, I finally clicked on the "stop receiving emails" link or whatever it's called, and it brought me to a page that said my request had been successfully processed......and today I got my 100001st email from Regent Law.
