The first three words of the email I opened on my phone said "We are delighted." I then go on the computer to learn that Cornell Law is delighted to inform me my application is now complete....only took seven weeks.

In today as well, with no interview. seems to me the interview must be a YP thing, because my numbers certainly don't dazzle. anyways, got the update 1/7 and in the following week.

3 date changes. SC and email simultaneously.

(some got an interview request after 3 or 4 date changes).

Got my acceptance box in the mail today. Nice handbook inside a pizza box-like packaging, although smaller than NYU's "pizza box." (New Yorkers and their pizza...)

Still can't believe it.

I'm in at Cornell!!

I applied ED, but was waitlisted in December and thought for sure that was the kiss of death.

Good luck to everyone else that's still waiting, I look forward to meeting everyone. Meanwhile, time to start withdrawing my applications from everywhere else.

(In terms of stats, I'm slightly below the median LSAT and slightly above the GPA; non-URM).

Is there any reason to do this now? You are no longer an ED applicant, right? Might as well wait and see what other offers you get.

I have no real reason, but figure I may as well withdraw from a few schools lower ranked than Cornell so that I can free up spaces on the waitlist/applicant pool.

Edit: "Just got" means at some point today.
