20:35lshopeful2021:
this might be wishful thinking/asking esp this late on a Friday but does anyone know if there's one doc or resource that lists average age of students at each school?
20:35mrdalloway:
i mean, this cycle is so unpredictable. you never know!
20:43mrdalloway:
my main regret this cycle is that i didn't write a gpa addendum...i've been out of college for ages now and didn't think the D and Cs on my transcript mattered much lollll
20:44mrdalloway:
not sure it would've helped, anyway, though
20:45GiantCrookedEarwig:
My main regret this cycle is that I applied this cycle
21:40MagnificentBrightHare:
I cant wait to mentor the pre-law babies from my alma mater and talk like a grizzled old war vet when I tell them about the admissions cycle of 2021
21:48YoungPineapple:
Any thoughts when these schools will respond to a February app? Got into my safety with some $ with a seat deposit fast approaching. Some of the schools are USC Notre Dame UT Vandy
0:12OliviaLux:
generally no! but it's something you can talk about in your essays to show overcoming adversity/disadvantage, if that applies
0:13OliviaLux:
and then a few schools i think (either ucla or berk is one iirc) will explicitly ask for diversity addendums and define diversity in a way that includes socioecon background
5:24JAlfredPrufrock:
I wanna throw up 😭 it’s my absolute top choice and I will CRY if I get R’d
8:28Easytarget12:
@JAlfredPrufrock: I also went UR. At 4:45 in the AM EST. What a strange time for that (presumably automated) process to occur
8:29JosephMaldonadoPassage:
@JAlfredPrufrock: me too, i think that means we'll hear back either this thursday or next, depending on how easy the decision is
11:07FurryStormyGoat:
I’m new to this whole negotiating $$ packages thing, do y’all think I have a chance of negotiating a higher package with UCLA with one from GW
11:11BoysDoFallinLove:
the worst they can say is no but i don't think UCLA sees GW as competition, which is what usually helps with negotiating. maybe a package from another CA/LA school, especially USC/berk/sls
11:12RollTheDice:
Would UCLA see BC as competitive?
11:14BoysDoFallinLove:
i wouldn't think so but only the school knows for sure. i don't think UCLA would want to spend extra scholarship $ to lure people away from boston or dc. different regional markets and regional non-t14 dogpiles
11:15BoysDoFallinLove:
ucla is also king in LA whereas BC/BU/GW are not in their markets
11:16JoeD:
It's Saturday! Don't forget to take the day off!
11:17FurryStormyGoat:
@BoysDoFallinLove: yeah I figured as much, thanks though!
11:21BoysDoFallinLove:
I really think I need to retake but I don't know what I'd do for a year ughhh
11:23Easytarget12:
@JosephMaldonadoPassage: It is. though that's dickinson campus, not exactly the same, but still very good especially as we have family in the town
11:38FriendlyDevilishCanine:
any1 know anything about Cincinnati (the law school and the city)?
11:39FriendlyDevilishCanine:
Just wondering how big of a legal market there is in the city
11:59TheSplit:
what even is my life this week. my dog I've had since i was 10 died after my week of rejections and WLs :'(
15:12ChuckRhoades:
duke needs to not keep me ur3 for 2 months please
15:14ChuckRhoades:
they have essentially done nothing recently right
15:25pizzalover1212:
@Hedgehog: I see you applied to Hawaii as well and I am so confused as to why they take so long to give out decisions. I applied like a month ago. I cant imagine they get the same number of applicants that other schools do
15:31brendog:
lol bc emailed me in the dead of night to let me know my app is now under review. i sent it in early january
16:28YoungPineapple:
As a K-JD I don't have anything crazy on my resume - pretty average for a college student. But even with my 3.8 my GPAs been on an upward trend and I have a very unique major so I hope that can make me stand out more
16:29YoungPineapple:
I already got into my safety with some good scholarship and the seat deposit is coming up so I'm at a loss for what to do if I don't hear back by the seat deposit in early April
16:29YoungPineapple:
or I suppose I could retake in the summer but it would put me back a whole cycle :/
16:30DevilishSkillfulBracke:
you've got a great gpa, a higher LSAT would def help you a lot
16:30MeJustChilling:
Contact that school and say I'm waiting on other places can they push back their deposit date a little
16:30DevilishSkillfulBracke:
as a splitter, Im v jelly because there is nothing I can do with my UGPA
16:30YoungPineapple:
Yeah I know :/ pretty tempted to retake. I was PTing a 167/168
16:31MeJustChilling:
But yeah. I understand why you don't want to wait a year but your options would be infinitely better if you could raise your LSAT like 4 or 5 points
16:31YoungPineapple:
@MeJustChilling: Good idea for sure. I'll do that
16:31MeJustChilling:
Ppl are getting into USC with 3.8 and 168 but not with 3.8 and 165
16:35YoungPineapple:
My thought though was near the end of the cycle and they have their 65% of TX residents filled in, maybe they'll be more lenient for out of state especially for more tuition $
18:51CorporateCatastrophe:
Not me looking at these medians and taking the lsat for a 5th time even though I have a 169. fml
19:19lawtinaaa:
Hi everyone- new here.. Do you guys know if a school legally owes us a response? Like because I paid an app fee and applied, the school has to accept me, reject me, or waitlist me?
23:13UncertainElectricDolphin:
Is that "you're not serious that you're going to get that" or "you're not serious that you think you'll get aid from us after getting that?"
