UC Hastings 2010!!! Forum

[msch0i]

Rejection via small envelope in mail today. Numbers in profile, complete 12/1 (though my LSN says otherwise, because it never updates the way I tell it to the first time for some reason...).

Sorry to hear about that. Good luck with the rest of your cycle!

Sorry for the ding.

However, congrats on the UMN acceptance and scholly - not too shabby at all.

Thanks guys. I knew my numbers weren't very Hastings-friendly and I've pretty much come to the conclusion I won't pay full ride anyways, so Hastings was a long shot. I was more sticking it out with the "stranger things have happened..." mentality. It's kinda nice to be narrowing my list down, to be honest.

my stats pretty much mirrors yours. when did you apply? i guess i should be definitely expecting a rejection...

[Borhas]

3.0 appears to be the cut off... slightly above that you have a much better shot

Sent it in 11/30 (at night), got my app received and complete e-mail from Hastings 12/1.

Good luck, man... maybe you'll have a better shot if you're a resident?

Some of us have been offered scholarships of various amounts. I got a 1-year $10k award.

thanks... but honestly its not looking too great... i'll keep my hope up until the end but hastings will most likely reject me.

some people have heard (not me though, sadly). as to matching higher offers, i really doubt it. i sent them a letter explaining my 1/2 tuition and higher scholarships to 3 top 20/25 schools, and how even some money to Hastings would make my enrollment at Hastings very likely (since it's my top choice). Never received a response.


ps: go bears

[calgal17]

We have a lot of bears in this thread!

[Foosters Galore]

Well these recent additions to this thread have shattered any remaining hopes I had.

2.75 / 169

i feel you. when did you apply?

[Foosters Galore]

I went complete 1/14. I thought I might have a chance bc I have a valid medical gpa addendum and I wrote a risky but potentially convincing PS. I'm beginning to believe its all numbers though. Good luck to you

Rejected today...3.15/164.

Not too torn up about it; I'm off to Colorado

[missinglink]

Sorry to all the recent dings.

It's been a while since anyone was accepted.

I'd like to think they maybe have one more wave of acceptances to go, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.

I went to the Hastings ASD yesterday. It was great! They did a wonderful job of selling themselves. Couple of things that I took away that might be of interest:

*They are reducing the class size to 390 from 460. This, in addition to the increased applications, have created a very competitive year.
*They are one of the only schools that lets you pick an elective your second semester
*There are opportunities to do pro bono work from the beginning
*Moot Court is ranked #2 in the country
*Great public interest program (from a student participating in it)

Anyway, just thought I'd offer those tidbits. If anyone else has any questions about Hastings who hasn't gotten to visit yet, let me know.

fantastic! I'm very happy to hear they are reducing class size... the huge class size was the biggest draw back for me. Did they go into any detail about what pro-bono work from the beginning means?

fml.

There hasn't been an acceptance according to LSN since the 12th. Can't say I remain too hopeful at this point.

I don't suppose they said if they were done w/ acceptances?

Also, they talk about how their students are faring in the job market these days?

So if I don't get my rejection in the mail on monday (I'm in socal) then maybe I have a chance. 2.75. 169, so not a great shot but I have unique softs and a ps probably unlike any other, for better or worse I'm not yet sure. Anyway, avoided the recent mass WL, and if I wasn't included on this recent ding mailing then I can assume I might be hearing good news?
