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...

Omg!!! Hope you get in. Will you attend this cycle if you do?

Pretty sure I have bad news waiting at home from Irvine. lol This cycle is rough.
Oh no! What makes you say that? Re the bad news waiting
Bunch of letters were sent out recently. Both WL and rejections.
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.

Yeah it is dumb...
Shouldn't it at least be the other way around? lol Acceptances by mail and rejects by e-mail? I'd want the good news in physical form and bad news in a dumb email....

That's annoying! Did you do the standard post office request for mail forwarding too? It took a while for my stuff to forward to my new place.

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.

Thank you! It would very much depend on scholarship money. I won't take anything at sticker.

Yep, did the USPS forwarding. I've driven by my old place once or twice too to double check if there's anything in the box with my name haha.

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!

Hey me too! Honestly it was such a long shot for me that I shouldn't be surprised but I am disappointed and a little down about it. Oh well! Got a few more to go.

Wow, I knew they had no status checker, but they don't email? That really sucks.

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.
Waitlisted at Harvard this morning - 175 LSAT 3.9+ LSAC GPA. It's been... An okay-ish cycle for me so far? I was accepted to Columbia but have been waitlisted at Northwestern and Michigan. Haven't heard anything else for months so...
Congratulations, everyone! Has anyone heard from Columbia/NYU? Was wondering if anyone who was accepted would be willing to share their stats with me. Thanks!

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.

It's a crazy year, y'all. I feel like I saw somewhere K-JDs were having a particularly rough cycle, so it may be that for some of you guys with outstanding numbers. Who knows.

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 am one of those it's brutal having to endure this. Graduation is around the corner, and now knowing where I go next is making me panic.

@"Seeking Perfection" I'm in the same boat, UofM have me 120k and I'd love to go there, but would love some negotiation power. So far I haven't heard from Y and S, dinged at H, Cornell, and Berkeley, WL at Chi, Col, Penn, UVA, Duke, and Ucla. In at Texas, but less aid than mighty michigan, so not much help

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.

I'm not even applying this cycle but the Law School Admissions subreddit is crazy right now.
Hey you never know! My fingers are crossed for you and I'm sending positive thoughts!
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...
Congratulations and good luck on the interview !!
Omg!!! Hope you get in. Will you attend this cycle if you do?

Nice! I do hope you get in with some money!!
I got the same interview request, Leah! I’d just about written Cornell off. Happy dance!
@khuber Awesome! I know, right? Maybe just because it's end of the cycle and adcom is super busy. But it took forever to hear anything! Hah.
Wait, UCI is doing snail mail!? You have to check my physical mail box!?
Yale awarded me $37,000 for this year. Awards are recalculated every year.
:X
I feel like I commit a crime every time I tell someone.
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 glad to be almost done.
LOVING seeing all your progress reports, keep it up and keeping my fingers crossed for y'all
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.
I just got into Harvard law this morning! What a call that was. LSAT 175 (LSAC)GPA 3.99
Great job!!!
Waitlisted at Harvard this morning. LSAC GPA 3.81. LSAT 180.
Still Y and S?
East coast schools stay slow, damn man... I'm almost over all this bs

No letter from UCI last night, so I’m still stuck in purgatory! Lol
UCI, Northwest, UPenn, UChicago...where you guys at?!

How the hell are you not in Harvard with a 180 . I mean, its a 180 for crying out loud. What the hell do these people want?
I might be wrong, but doesn't Harvard favor gpa>lsat?
Numbers only mean so much, even if they are the most important thing in the vast majority of cases.
It's a crazy year, y'all. I feel like I saw somewhere K-JDs were having a particularly rough cycle, so it may be that for some of you guys with outstanding numbers. Who knows.
What’s a KJD?
@mcglz_64 KJD means kindergarten through law school so it's someone who goes straight from undergrad to law school.
Ohhhh! Thanks!
As I said maybe a better GPA, maybe good work experience, maybe different essays.
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.
