    I finally got an interview request from Cornell! Came in this morning. I thought for sure I was dead in the water on that one since I'd been complete since 2/2. But that's it so far...

    Side note: super irritating that some schools are still doing snail mail. I moved in to a new apartment a few weeks ago and informed every school, but I'm still nervous they will send stuff to the old address. I have my mail forwarded but that can take a week or 2 sometimes when they re-route it. Or sometimes the post office messes it up and just doesn't forward. It's a total crapshoot.

    Right?? I got my first acceptance (and literally only news so far) from my "safety school" via email a few days ago after getting my wisdom teeth out. I was casually checking email with gauze in my mouth when I saw the news load on my phone. I was excited to see it but it felt so unceremonious.

    YES. Snail mail, no status checker or anything. I saw some people post saying they got notices from USPS saying that mail was en route, but it sounds like not everyone got that notice either. So weird. Very 90s retro haha. Feels like when I applied for undergrad and we all had to wait and check the mail every day after school!

    I got an email with my acceptance. With them it looks like acceptance via email and any scholarship info is contained within the actual acceptance package.

    End of December for me. One of my letter of rec writers took a long time.

    Harvard never interviewed me so I knew it was bad news.

    I think I'm a little underperforming my numbers overall. Maybe, I applied a little late in a competitive cycle. Maybe, my app isn't good either because of bad essays or my generally weak experience(KJD) or something. Maybe I should have went to a professional for advice. The good thing for me is that my best offer (Michigan) is exactly what I needed at the place I wanted to be happy with my cycle. I'd like something else for a little negotiating power, but if I don't get it, it is still okay.

    Yale: No response
    Stanford: No response
    Harvard: Waitlist

    I wouldn't say any schools really favor GPA over LSAT and if I had to pick some that did I would pick Chicago and Stanford before Harvard, but they definitely care about GPA and for them mine is a little low. Maybe I can boost it a little with Spring grades.

    I feel you. Everything I have read about law school admissions tells me that if you don't somehow negotiate scholarships you are probably being taken advantage of, but I can't see how I can get any leverage to get them to move. I'm certainly happy I have the one really good offer from Michigan,but kind of want one more.
