Yale c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle) Forum

My campus is shutdown, so no mail for me. Anyone from CT here? I'm sure you'll here first if letters went out yesterday.

CT here but the gubner declared a state of emergenc; shelter in place. Soooooo, that's a wrap.

Hmmmm, Asha should've known this blizzard was coming. I think she's just effing with us. Orrrr we're getting emails.

Also CT, but I don't know if USPS is working today. UPS and FedEx came by, though, but I doubt they'd send rejection letters via those companies.

Conspiracy theory: Aisha made LSN go down and acted accordingly.

FIFY

Just got my mail. Mailmen are f*cking badass.

Mine too... no ding yet.

Just got rejected via email:

Dear Mr. Elshal,

We regret that we are unable to offer you admission for the fall of 2013. This year the Law School expects to receive approximately 2,500 applications for an entering class of 200 students. Given this ratio, many highly-qualified applicants have to be turned away. The faculty, all of whom read admissions files, work hard to reach these difficult decisions as fairly as possible, knowing the outcome will inevitably prove disappointing to many people.

Thank you for your continued patience throughout the admissions process. We appreciate your interest in Yale Law School and extend to you our best wishes for the future.

Sincerely,

Craig Janecek
Director of Admissions

Damn....Checked my email as soon as I saw this...and sure enough, I just got mine too...

"Copy to be followed by U.S. mail"...Right, because I totally want to frame this moment.

[LaMuSayonga]

First official ding of the cycle. Damn. *sniff*

Oh well, it was basically what I expected.

[robot_socrates]

I'm sorry guys. Did any January applicants get dinged? Not sure whether i made the cut, or if they simply haven't made it to my app yet.

[Teflon_Don]

Dinged. Shocker

[jcan91]

First official ding of the cycle. Damn. *sniff*

First school rejection ever....Bleh.

[LSATSCORES2012]

Sorry all...

I wonder if these go out in waves...?

My email box is empty and I'm starting to unreasonably get my hopes up for a waitlist...

UVA waitlisted me for UG and LS. Stupid Thomas Jefferson and his beautiful campus. This is my first straight-up rejection. So Cambridge it is for me.

You mean applicants? I applied in Jan and have received nothing. I think they just haven't gotten to our applications yet (three faculty reviewers probably take a bit of time).

ETA:

sorry to all for the big wave of bad news. they don't trickle when it comes to bad news it seems.

but props for using hella. SLS would prob appreciate that adjective sprinkled in your paperwork somewhere

[callmemaybe84]

Hmm, November complete. Silence, still.

WL? Maybe hope still exists? Or the axe just takes longer to fall?
