In decision purgatory... Cornell 'Reserve' List Forum

[let/them/eat/cake]

Also, how does the whole interview process work? My letter didn't mention it... Should I just call and ask about it? I'd aboslutely love to do one via phone but I'm not about to trek to Ithaca, NY for something that's probably a lost cause...

phone interviews? all those awkward pauses, trying to decide who goes first, whose 'turn' it is, worrrrying about your mom walking in in the middle of it all....wait, what was I talking about?

Exactly. Its a 4 hour drive. But its probably worth it...

lol...I hate the call waiting feature on my cell, it can be annoying sometimes...the beeping sound while on an important call.

Just so you know... IT WILL NEVER END. We will all be placed on an even more special waitlist again mid-October, placed on Second Reserve around December, and then our status checkers will return to "applied" next March, at which time we will be asked to submit additional letters of recommendation from law school professors at our second choice schools, followed by an optional waitlist obstacle course held in Antarctica mid-June to gauge our interest. And then the lucky few of us who are deemed worthy will be waitlisted again and told not to call them because they'll call us. Those who do get offered admission after 3 more months of review will only be offered a 6-year deferral and no scholarship money.

yeah we got a new thread for that. conveniently searchable by the old standby "purgatory". "deux" will also probably get the job done.

i'm done with this thread. moving onto bigger and better things. reserve is so last week.

[sba314]

I am still waiting for an update and my status checker hasn't changed yet.

I spent the last month off the law school grid (i.e. not compulsively checking tls and lsn)--and it turns out I am one of the few whose decision went from decision (reserve) to complete (with my
old complete date). I guess I'll call tomorrow and figure out where I'm at and whether or not to bother with LOCI #3.

As of Tuesday, June 23 my online status checker has gone to "Decision" again... No phone call

[DaveDude]

Here. There must be at least a couple of us. Admissions tells me to expect an updated decision by middle or end of next week.

[microoli]

WAAAAIIIIIITTTTTLIIIIIISSSSSST. They don't know how many are on the waitlist or how many spots may become available. Things change so much, you know?

I want Cornell so bad, but I'm missing out on all the sweet leases. Tough call. Not tough enough to withdraw, though.

I just looked at the facebook group and it dropped from 153 to 150...i dont know if this means anything for us....
