Hey everyone!

Sorry to bug but I want to submit a LOCI/update for Yale. Should I send in a copy of my transcript with fall grades attached, or just mention my grades in the letter? Does anyone have any LOCI resources they can link me to? I've been posting a bit on TLS for a while but I'm not a heavy user and I don't really know where a lot of things are.

Have you been WL'd, or are you just sending a letter to be put at the top of the pile and stuff?

I haven't been WL'd. What do you mean, top of the pile?

I don't really have any experience with LOCI's but I can't imagine this would be helpful and if anything detrimental. If you have new transcripts you can send them to LSAC and they will add it to your file. If you have a new resume I suppose you could send that over as well. But I would assume they know you're still interested...they're still Yale after all. And because of the way admissions works over there with professor review I don't see how this would be helpful even in the best case scenario. They're also only at the early stages as of now. They've only admitted one batch of people back in December

20 to be exact (according to FB group)

Yeah and 3 of those are Asha, Craig, and someone from financial aid haha so even less. They're obviously taking their time this year. Was surprised a new wave didn't happen this weekend

This weekend would've seemed about right however if I had to guess I bet the admissions office is on the woke side of things and might have been marching somewhere on Saturday

Wiiiiiild guess but thurr it is

Yale Mary, full of grace...

App in this morning. Better late than never, right?

Dame straight!

[fingercrossed]

Struggled with my 250 FOREVER, but just submitted! Hope Yale isn't lying about when you apply not mattering...

[pretzeltime]

Welcome to the deafening silence, Pozz and Fingers!

[LikelyThrowaway]

Also joining the club, having submitted about six minutes ago. Lord hear my heathen prayers.

Still toiling away at my 250, but you guys are inspiring me/lighting a fire under my ass. Really want to get everything submitted by the end of this coming weekend. Hoping that the slow admissions cycle this year will minimize the extent to which I'm penalized for being late....

Shouldn't it be not at all? I doubt the faculty readers change how they evaluate applications in January vs March!

As Asha says, "Sigh. The 250-word essay. I remember putting off my Yale Law School application because of the 250, too (good thing that applying late to YLS doesn't affect your chances of admission!)."

I've seen that quote too, but on some level, it only seems rational that timing would still make some difference. I.e., given that each app gets a score from 4--12 from its faculty readers, it would follow that if, say, all the 11's and 12's are getting in, but there's only enough room to admit half of the 10's, then it would be preferable to be a 10 who applied early than one who applied late.

+1
Also, I dont think there's many slacker Yale Law peofessors.

Does Asha do presumptive admits throughout the cycle? Or is that only from the first batch of applicants?

Do we have any idea what stats / other things are required to be a presumptive?

Why does it matter? No stats are enough for Y admission point blank, so stats wouldn't do it. It's down to one person's gut basically, so there is no way for any of us to say. And also no one ever really knows if they were an Asha admit so there's no data

Seemed like a harmless question

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh. I'm just wondering why it matters
