THE DING BAR Forum

WUSTL, you are not University of Washington.

Shit.

[goodgrief]

Washington University of ST LOUIS?

WHAT?

Really, first you make me wait 3 full months before even putting me "in review". Then you ding me? Seriously?! You could have saved us both time and the effort of caring, and just rejected me straight up. I've had to wait on plans for a school in a city I would never, ever move to, but now I'm free. Free of a Cardinal-worshiping city, and free of a school that has a comparatively crappy LRAP. WOOHOO!

Thanks for a good decision for both of us.

BU and BC - thanks for dinging me via snail mail on the same day. Also, thank you for not making me move to Boston.

Dear UCI,

Chumsky? Chomsky? Chemistry? I guess it was because I couldn't pronounce his name.

[anti-phronimos]

Dear Wustl,

I'm glad to see you're maintaining your shit-stain tradition of taking the ivy league rejects and northwestern wannabees. Your undergrad was a joke--I can't imagine your law school improves the standard.

Ah, one more thing: Phyllis Schlafly

douchebags.

Dear Cardozo,

Your waitlist made me lol myself to sleep. I don't even remember applying to you--perhaps I saw "New York" and subconsciously associated you with my favorite dessert, cheesecake. I would apply to cheesecake.

I must have been in one of those manic "insert school name in last sentence of PS" fee waiver blackouts and sent my application to your craptastic institution. No...even in such a fevered state, I doubt I'd be capable of such a lapse in judgment. More likely is that I snapped out of my stupor half-way through the app and realized I was filling out a Cardozo application, you know, kind of like when you're dreaming that you're peeing and you wake up and you're actually peeing. I then promptly flushed the app down the toilet to hide the evidence, and it was retrieved by a literate, mutant sewer rat named Rodney who recognized the address as his favorite place to score crack, and he hand delivered it to the steaming cesspool that is Cardozo...with $12.

Thanks, Rodney. You always know how to put a smile on my face.

Dear Drake,

Looking to LSAC's admissions numbers, 100% of people in my "GPA/LSAT Matrix" were accepted last year. You wait-listed me, even though I applied in early December?
Sorry you are in a cold, hippie-liberal, unpopulated area (Iowa, lawls), and share your name with a rapper.... but I wasn't planning on attending. I was hoping to use your $$$ for leverage elsewhere. Oh well, maybe you can trick other applicants into showing up in August with your "Ivy-sounding" name.

After their D+ ad campaign, they really could write their own ding bar contribution

[hope11]

I applied to 31 school and so far have been rejected at 19 waitlisted at 4 and accepted at 3...and as you may imagine my LSAT score was HORRIBLE still...Maryland Law a T1 waitlisted me? That was pretty crazy well just wanted to share. I hope that makes some of you feel good and/or hopeful about your own statistics...

So dear 19 schools:
...(actually Chris Crocker has the prefect response)

This may make me LOL myself to sleep...though since it's noon, that might not be such a good thing!

dear wustl

eff you! you'r LSAT monsta...shit. You dont care what ppl did for 4 years, do you?
btw I will be a lot happier in Davis.

Dear Chicago,

Thank you for rejecting me. I own none of the following: tweed jacket, horn rimmed glasses, ivory pipe, penny loafers. Therefore in addition to saving me the loss of my extremities due to frostbite and the cost of your outrageous tuition, you also saved me thousands of dollars in chiropractic adjustments due to my seriously overinflated head.

Dear Penn,

I already have an expensive ivy league degree, and the debt to prove it. Thank you for relieving me of a further debt burden. Also,

Columbia regrets to inform me that it cannot take favorable action on my application. I, on the other hand, would be delighted to inform them that I really don't give a shit. Also, that little crown makes their butt look big.

Dear Colorado,

You didn't ding me, but you sure as hell didn't make me feel like you were serious about wanting me. First you take forever to even tell me you got my app, then make me wait forever and a day to accept me. No communication whatsoever about scholarships, and for those who call you about financial aid, you're now telling them you may or may not be able to give that information out before seat deposits are due?!

Just so you know, I've decided I like Denver a lot more than Boulder. While there is still a fairly high concentration of trust-funded hipsters pretending they're not rich, and "hippies" driving their Land Rovers to Whole Foods, it is not nearly as high and/or insufferable as it is up in Boulder.

I will be withdrawing my application from your school, but I'm going to do it according to your apparent timelines. You can expect to hear from me sometime in May/June 2012.

Have fun on your continued slide down the rankings,

There is something very unscrupulous about that. How can they expect people to deposit for something when they don't know the cost?

Dear DU,

You will never be CU. Ever. Enjoy your slide into Tier 3.

P.S. Englewood is a hole.

Although I am not able to contribute much to the ding bar, this thing where aid is not expedited is annoying. I want to be able to make my decisions based on scholarships, grants, and loan totals for each of the schools I'm considering. This has happened at a couple schools I have applied to, and as a result, I am making my deposit at the school that did not withhold decisions before deposit dates.
