Let's hope so

[xoxo_gossipgirl]

Dinged via e-mail just now.

No surprises--applied late and have sub-25th LSAT/GPA. No interview request at all.

Sorry to the other dings today, and good luck to the rest of you all.

I like that optimism !

Any idea what time is the latest they will send a rejection? 5pm? 7pm?

Thanks... stings a little to get both NYU and Harvard dings in the same morning, but I'll survive.

Ugh I can't take all my nervousness about maybe getting dinged today. I keep refreshing my email.

I'm gonna just sneak out of work and go to a bar. Hopefully I won't be too drunk when JS calls with a JS2 later today. tt yall l8r

Rejected by email 4 PM est.

I'm always amused by how much they can sugar coat "you're not good enough"

[chizzy]

sorry to hear that... still have some great options though!

[Nucky]

Dinged today, but was expected. I submitted what scientists refer to as a, "YOLO application."

Edit: I must admit that I am disappointed at not having received a hard copy rejection. Guess I'll have to go to campus and chip a rock off a building to secure a piece of Harvard.

[Kimikho]

stats for everyone, please.

also

but ya'll held on this long at least!

Sorry on the dings people.

Sugar coating always perturbs me. If I'm so great and amazing why didn't you choose me

Good luck to you too chizzy! Hate to see another cute avatar ding

For those who were dinged, what is the subject of the email?

Yeah, but what other way is there to do it? (Not a rhetorical question. As a thought experiment, what would you write if you were in charge of drafting ding letters/emails?)

Personally I would def add a line like "[insert person who's v successful and preferably famous today] was also denied admission to HLS in the fall/spring of [year], and she/he has truly found a rewarding path through both the legal academy — at [other gr8 law school] and profession — at [Bigshot & Fancypants LLC]."

Does anyone know when the last pre-waitlist js1's are to be conducted?

I would just prefer something like 'We cannot select you for admission. Good luck and consider reapplying". The sugar coating (or at least the extreme sugar coating) seems disingenuous and cringe-worthy to me.
