Are there some schools that are for sure just doing WLs and rejections from this point on? Still waiting on my top top schools right now but have gotten 1 acceptance, 2 WLs and 3 rejections already

Has anyone heard from GULC recently (within the last 2 weeks?)

So basically ^ the brand

Has anyone heard? Bump

@ Of rejections, waitlists, or acceptances? or all 3?

Sorry! Should have been more specific. All three I assume. I’ve heard at least rejections and acceptances

Huge decision wave Saturday

I think you should def include #1. Schools want to know that you WILL go there if accepted off the waitlist - it's something they consider when they admit off WL (their yield). If Factor #1 is very important to you, definitely include it in there to convey that.

for #2 I'm not sure but I'm sure others on here will be more helpful about it...you obviously don't want your vibe to be "I'm waitlisted everywhere so please be the one that takes me in"

Turns out they really liked my application, my GPA just wasn't there, so we talked about some things I could do, I did those things and they were happy, the offer came in the same afternoon.

@ if you don't mind, what do you mean some things you could do? Like were those in line with changing some stuff on your app? I'm curious because obviously you can't change the LSAT or GPA in a day. If you don't mind sharing or even PMing I would appreciate it.

Anyone hear from NYU today? Apparently they are sending out calls.

I’m in a tiring cycle of checking and refreshing to no avail.

Further - is it possible these schools are waiting for your GPA issue to resolve itself? I vaguely remember you saying you’ve notified them of the LSAC issue. Maybe they don’t realize it wasn’t resolved?

For the schools you’re still waiting on- when did you apply? It could be a good sign that they’re still considering your file

I'm visiting Georgetown this week. Maybe I'll see her around :hushed:

You visited UCLA recently right? Maybe send them a thank you for the visit? I assume you already sent LOCIs?

At this point, it's a matter of standing out I think. Sorry - not much help at this point. Maybe you could contact Spivey or another admissions advisor on what you could do with those WLs.

I was thinking about that but they are freaking expensive. I have a ton of family pressure to attend law school this cycle....this is rough!

Eeep! Even if you just email for a one-time consultation? I have no idea since I never tried contacting them directly. It could be worth it though, if you end up with your top choice law school (but only do a one time consultation...I wouldn't advise further).

I def. feel you on the need to go this cycle. I've been putting it off for a few years now and I really need to go this coming fall. I've only heard from 3 schools (one accept, one reject, and one waitlist) and am waiting on 13 more for any response.

@ Haha when I visited Georgetown I talked with some 1Ls that said they hadn't seen her yet.

YET!?!? I mean does she even go to class then? I'm sure some people would have had classes with her by now right??

Several Questions:

What would you recommend for reading for our summer prior to law school?

How do you balance your workload and organize your notes?

What types of jobs are you seeing a lot of 1Ls gunning for in the summer? What did you do for your 1L summer?

In general, how much time do you spend studying/how much time should we expect to study for our classes?

Can I just say that I saw your posts about Logic Games from wayyyy back when you were still working on the LSAT. Legend status!

Another WL today...Duke.

So now my Wait-lists are:

Duke

UVA

Penn

Mich

UCLA

ND

Lol with these odds, I HAVE to be able to get off at least one WL right? lol

How many more are you waiting on?

Guys....I know I'm a late applicant and everything but I'm really going insane with this wait. I don't know how the rest of you who've applied in the Fall are doing it right now.
