Re: Stanford 2010!!!
It is now! I honestly believed that my application would be laughed out of the admissions office, so this is completely unreal. I'm really excited to learn more about the school now that I have the opportunity to go.Kretzy wrote:Awesome, Congrats!!! Is SLS your top choice?Core wrote:Congrats!!!!citydweller09 wrote:OMG!

Thanks for the congratulations Kretzy & everyone else.
For those requesting stats, they're the following: AA female, 168/3.4 from HYP, master's degree from another Ivy, and I'll have a year of WE under my belt by the fall.

TBH I'm really not surprised. If your GPA was higher I would have pegged you for close to auto-admit.citydweller09 wrote:It is now!

Congrats again. I am profoundly jealous. If I got into SLS my cycle would basically be over as I would withdraw everywhere except Berk.

But none for me. To hell with the bastard who said I would definitely be in at SLS. Hope you die in a fire.

Yeah, after all my tough talk about giving HLS the cold shoulder, I'm going to send them one additional LOR (from my employer; my original three LORs are all from professors) and a LOCI.Core wrote:Crack, did you decide to write a LOCI and/or get additional LORs for Harvard?

Re: Stanford 2010!!!
I sent them an updated transcript (with a slightly improved GPA) and a LOCI (still in the mail, I suspect). I'm waiting on two recommenders (professors) to send LORs to LSAC, and then I'll shoot them over to Harvard.crackberry wrote:Yeah, after all my tough talk about giving HLS the cold shoulder, I'm going to send them one additional LOR (from my employer; my original three LORs are all from professors) and a LOCI.Core wrote:Crack, did you decide to write a LOCI and/or get additional LORs for Harvard?

Be honest I can take it
I think citydweller has very similar stats to you and is also Black (but female). Look at her profile.

Re: Stanford 2010!!!
Cool. Yeah since I'm not in school and haven't changed jobs or anything in the past 4 months, an additional LOR and a LOCI is about all I can offer them by way of updates to my file at this point. I'll talk in my LOCI about what I've done at work recently, but I don't think I'll mention other schools (Stanford).Core wrote:I sent them an updated transcript (with a slightly improved GPA) and a LOCI (still in the mail, I suspect).

So how does it work? Do I send the signed LOCI directly to Harvard's admissions office with my LSAC number on it and the LOR the same way I did LORs in September (via LSAC)?

Re: Stanford 2010!!!
I am actually going to send an update I think. My GPA raised a little this semester, one publication, honors graduation, extra letter of rec and a note telling them they are far and away my top choice. Here's to hoping.
