Princeton Law c/o 2016 (aka The Forgotten) Forum

[wbrother]

Complete 12/3. Maybe their ding button is broken? I'm probably below their 5ths for heaven's sake.

[joiedevivre18]

Complete at HLS 12/13. Nothing since then. Feels like I've been stood up.

Complete late November. I guess I'm just happy I can tell my friends and family that I'm still in the running.

[superhopefulwoo]

Complete 1/4. My numbers indicate an auto-ding, but here's to hoping my non-Noble Peace Prize winning, non-Olympian softs will make a door for a JS1 at least.

In at Princeton Law's legal Ph.D program... Looking forward to dissecting the finer points of complex cross-border transactions involving GMOs.

Oh and on an unrelated note, law school applications are down 20% across the board. Not sure how much they're down at Harvard, but odds are they'll hold onto applications a little longer than usual.

[Shmoopy]

I hope to enroll in Princeton law's dual JD / phd in comparative literature program, so that I can become an international hip hop attorney.

[stacy]

Can I get any scholarship to Princeton Law? I went complete mid-November, heard nothing since.

Complete 11/20

I want to send in an updated resume (nominated for an award at work) and a LOCI (Why Harvard)-type statement. Any reason I shouldn't? My numbers are basically auto-reject and I'm assuming my strong softs have kept me in it, but I'd rather be sure I used all of the bullets in my holster if I have to go down.

I think the fact that you haven't heard anything means you're still in the running. I don't think you need a "why HLS" because everyone loves HLS. The nomination for the award at work... do you work at an amazing institution? I mean, is this award note-worthy? If so, go for it.

The best thing about Princeton Law is its policy of non-discrimination. Holistic method? Numbers? They don't care about that. They go by a well-tested formula that's proven invaluable over the years (obviously substitute letter grades with admit, WL, hold, deny):

Sometimes I have a sneaking suspicion that other top schools are starting to use this as well. Clearly a case of Princeton envy.

Submitted 12/5 and went complete 1/4. 174/3.8 with strong softs (I've been out of college for a good long while). The waiting has been so brutal, and yet somehow I have a feeling I still have a loooooong time to go

[feelingood]

GIVE ME SOMETHING. GIVE ME ANYTHING. For F's sake--submitted in November, complete 12/5. Why do they do this? 2 months is ridiculous.

[Ph297]

What does interview offer mean?

[bobbypin]

Lewis and Clark: Submitted 11/1, complete 11/5, updated 1/11... still no word.
(Granted this is not HLS but a school that is my 1st choice to attend)
Just a smidge below median both LSAT and GPA

UofO: Submitted 11/20, complete prior to end of November, updated 1/3...no word here either. At median for both LSAT and GPA.

[TripTrip]

Guys, I just got dinged at Princeton. Here's the letter. I'm pretty distraught.

Good luck to the rest of you.

[digifly]

What's worse: being held at Harvard a few weeks ago or stuck in no-hold / JSNone like I am now?

[jym_dawg]

170/3.96 from a top 25 liberal arts college

Strong softs, completed doctorate...

Complete 12/4... and nothing since. Can't be a bad sign?

Same numbers and timeline. Also haven't heard anything. Just waiting for the ding so I can move on, wish they'd hurry it up

[domino]

I swept Amherst Williams Swarthmore with full rides. I'm intrigued by their teaching-focused philosophy to law school, unlike some of these big research institutions.

Haha I really appreciated this.

[porch]

Being that I submitted 17 (t-14 except cornell, UT, Vandy, USC, UCLA) apps mid-late November and have only heard back from two I am taking the title of

KING OF THE FORGOTTENS

You may all bow down to me and fall in line behind me.

That's harsh. I'd be flipping out if I wasn't accepted to other schools already.


Did you get into any T14 yet?

[porch]

Yes I got into GULC. My other acceptance was Vandy. The rest=silence.

[rehsalt]

I don't know if I really belong in this thread (although I am technically forgotten by UVA).

I just wanted to make the following observation:

If there were a Princeton Law and if they had a hold status, that's where I would be right now.





For now, congrats to all the Princeton admits. To the rest, I look forward to seeing you in the held by Princeton thread.

[Cicero76]

Withdrawing my app to Princeton today, good luck to everyone else still in the running! JS1 after more than two months of waiting--I've heard scuttlebutt that the owls delivering the interview invites have been increasingly unreliable ever since Dumbledore died.

[guinness1547]

Duke has straight up forgotten I exist I think. Just ding me already!
