So disappointed for you. I appreciated your input on this forum.

Thanks. Am currently trying to decide if I should just go to one of the schools I've been accepted to, one being Michigan with no money , or sit out and retake.

Did you score lower than you did on PTs?

Meh, scored around the same but also started feeling really anxious about not being ready like the week of the LSAT and broke 170 more than once. In fact, I scored over 170 like three times in a row in mid-September and then had a drop to 167 (which ended up being my actual LSAT score), scored two more above 170 the week of the twentieth, then dropped AGAIN to 165 --- and probably started panicking around then. Also didn't study very long before the Sept test because I was worried about burning out (maybe two or two and a half months). I really don't WANT to sit out but also... I just don't know.

Why don't you hedge by signing up for the June LSAT and put deposit on your best choice?

That really stinks, I was rooting for you brinicolec. Waiting another year seems like a set back, but at least financially, you could find yourself further ahead by waiting, performing even better, and getting more law school bucks than incurring a colossal debt from law school with no money right now. Seems like you were on the cusp of laying out some consistent 98+ percentile scores. Might be worth it. Good luck to you either way though!

This might be good - this way you can fight for more money at Michigan

I had a similar experience and will be signing up for the JUNE lsat, I really do not want to sit out either. I do not know if schools consider the JUNE lsat when getting of the WL but its worth a shot right?

I've considered this but how much money is even left by that time?! And also, if I were to do so (maybe I'll sit down and take a PT today to see where I stand), would I have to tell schools I intend to retake even though it's after everyone's deadlines?

I believe that people say the June LSAT is a good way to help get yourself off WL (assuming your score increases, of course)

Well if they don't have any more money then you can sit out, knowing that you have a great lsat.

Anyone looking at law school numbers NYU page and seeing SO much green all over the graph then coming here to be super heartbroken by the dings of great candidates? Also, counting the dots shows that close to 100 have been admitted thus far. Leaves about 1700 admits left (less or more probably due to unreported applicants and increase in applications)

That's kind of insane to think about.

Though I'm sure a LOT more than 100 have been admitted.

It's terrifying.

So sorry for those that got dinged. I'm sure that I'll be joining you at the DING bar as soon as they get around to looking at my app. Good luck on the rest of your cycles!

So sorry!!! I'm still in limbo but I'm not holding my breath for an acceptance either.

[funzies]

UR 2 today! Applied 1/7. Anyone else on a similar timeline?

This paints a much bleaker for those of us still waiting: there are currently 117 acceptances for the 2016-2017 cycle on LSN. There were 224 total LSN acceptances for the 2015-2016 cycle. Of course, LSN is probably used more frequently with each new cycle...

So sorry to hear, bri! I check out for a couple days and then this happens. You could kill it on the June test, but you could also kill it at any school you end up at, too. Good luck!

[Nightwing]

UR 2 today! Applied 1/7. Anyone else on a similar timeline?

Yep. I applied a few days earlier than you and went UR2 a few days ago.

[Instrumental]

Hmm, I applied on January 3rd and am still UR as of the 19th.

Thank you! I think I'll try the June LSAT and see what happens but still deposit somewhere just in case.

That's my thinKing now as well.

I was under the impression that UR2, UR3, etc. didn't really mean anything.

Good! Hopefully we'll be hearing soon. (fingers crossed)

[jza1994]

UR2 as of yesterday. UR1 1/17. A ding or WL is on the horizon...

[kkdk]

We are still reading RTK apps but we are making significant progress. I would say almost all first-reads are done, most second-reads are done, and tie-breaks are starting.

I'll try to update you all in about a week to 10 days.
