@AllezAllez21 I was hoping for a quick turnaround
-
So these interviews are taking place at the same time as Admitted Student's weekend, so I would be doing my interview somewhere between the events being held that day. Since that's the case, what do I wear lol. It seems strange to be wearing a suit…

@AllezAllez21 Not to be nosy but did you hear back yet?

@"Seeking Perfection" Have you scheduled your interview already? If so, for what date? @tylerdschreur10 said: They know you're smart, so don't oversell your intelligence, oversell personality. Disclaimer: if none of this makes sense...…

Thanks all! @goingfor99th Dang! I was hoping you'd enlighten me with some of your wisdom ! I'm not sure, I'm still waiting to hear back from a majority of the places I applied. Still, money is a huge factor for me so a full-ride would definitely s…

I think the good news is that if you were going to get denied based on your numbers alone, you would have been denied already. Hence, being in the applicant pool still is good from a numbers perspective! Now it's likely up to your softs whether or …

Fit! Fit fit fit! For example, I really like small classroom sizes, really being able to get to know my classmates and my professors, etc. Also I want to find out what my quality of life is going to be at the school. For example, I won't have a ca…

i'm up fam

I've never heard of this happening. Could you share what school did this?
-
@acsimon Whaaaaaaaaaaaat??? They waitlisted YOU? When did this happen???
-
I bubbled in before every page flip! Highly recommend it, it allows you to break your train of thought as minimally as possible.

I'm "first reserve" also. I don't think there's a "second reserve." We are de-facto waitlisted, but Columbia calls it "reserve" since they don't rank kids like in some waitlists like "if this person says no to our offer, Paul is the next kid we want…

LOL!

So there's actually a lot of evidence out there that law school readers Google applicants. In that case, having a well-designed, professional website may reflect favorably on you. But creating a website just for law school apps seems a bit much to …

You should send your applications now! Schools will often wait for your LSAT score, but they won't wait for your application if it's beyond the deadline!
-
Thanks all, that's pretty illuminating stuff. Yeah it felt some might say my numbers would classify me as an "auto-admit," but maybe since I didn't bother writing a Why Michigan essay they yield protected me. I'm also thinking back to what an under…
-
Yeah I'd contact their financial aid office and ask them directly. The general sentiment is though that if you apply ED you are essentially throwing away your negotiating power, and the school has less incentive to actually throw money at you to ge…

@calcal101 said: Hi @"Paul Caint"! Remember…waitlists aren't rejections. Did you write a Why Mich or another one of their optional topics? No I didn't, my apps were already kinda late so I just sent them out as fast as I could. To be honest,…

@acsimon said: Wow, that doesn’t bode well for me. I’ve applied super late in the cycle and just hope that I get at least a couple of hits rather than WLs so I can at least rest somewhat easy. I would’ve thought u’d be automatic at those …

My waitlist e-mail got sent to spam lol

@Sarah889 Lawschoolnumbers' ticker is showing a lot of people getting waitlisted at UPenn today. I have my fingers crossed I don't hear from them in the next few hours! That's good though that they weren't your top pics
-
@adillpickle That's the way it seems to me. To be honest I sent my application to UMich pretty late, like around January 5th. I was kind of surprised when I got a response back this early, part of me doubts they even read my file (PS, letters of rec…

@"Cant Get Right" @LSATcantwin When would you guys recommend sending in a LOCI? Immediately? Like Today??? Or in a few months?
-
FYI - for those of you thinking about writing Letters of Continued Interest, remember 7Sage has some videos on that https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/loci-basics/
-
@LSATcantwin UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH Don't they know I would love to go there
-
I just got waitlisted too! ; but I'm above their numbers so idk what to think. Yield protection? Edit: Looking at lawschoolnumbers.com's admissions ticker right now... Lots of people with really high numbers getting waitlisted at Michigan!
-
So a lot of schools' readers are actually professors or ex-professors. A lot of the time they read the letters of rec to understand what kind of student you are like inside of the classroom (hence why many schools stress having 2 academic letters of…
-
Yeah...unfortunately @"surfy surf" is right - a lot of employment stats are school-dependent, and those are also ranking-dependent
-
If your GPA Is above their medians also, I would send apps now to the schools that have LSAT medians below or at least close to your LSAT (-1 or -2 points). And maybe you should apply to all schools already, since it's getting really late in the cy…
