Why not? What's the worst that could happen?

On a different note, did you guys know that apparently quite a few of the 250s in the "Operation: Enduring Yale 250s" thread are fake? Noooo...

Here's a random tidbit I heard from her in conversation: apparently a significant number of the 250's in the TLS thread are fake.

Hogwash, I'm pretty sure Yale looks like this:

You should apply!

It's totally worth the application fee.

Haha, welcome, scone! Your dp makes me hungry every time I look at it. Was this your intention all along?

It is also for my emotional well-being. I want to minimize my rejections so I don't start to hate myself as all the Nos begin to roll in.

Aw, you shouldn't take any of the rejections personally. You survived the undergraduate college admissions process, right?

Is your preference for Harvard over Yale solely because of the Boston location?

Has anyone else seen these videos where Asha talks about the application process? They were recently put up a month ago! Nothing too new, but still cool to watch:

PS: https://vimeo.com/133181376
Application Process: https://vimeo.com/133181375
Why Yale: https://vimeo.com/133181373

For anyone too lazy to watch, she said the PS should do three things:
1) Give the reader an idea of why law school is the next logical step
2) Connect the dots between the meaningful experiences in your life
3) Reflect how you think and how you perceive the world

Hahaha, thanks!

Also, wow, we got to 20 poll votes! New poll TBA sometime-ish... but I must say I quite like this poll question, if I do say so myself.

The latter. Check out Asha's admissions blog if you haven't already, it's very helpful!
