22:10 LSHopeful2021: how many more offers do yall think columbia has?
22:12 PerpetualDamagedCass: Considering they just sent out more interview invites... at least a few :)
22:14 LesFleursduHyperchaos: I'm more curious when they're going to finally give decisions to everyone between September-November. I didn't apply until December, but it seems like they should have made decisions on early applications already
22:23 TheSplit: Anyone have any idea how many more admits UVA has?
22:27 GingerAle365: Speaking of, radio silence from UVA since mid-October :'(
22:27 GingerAle365: Hate it here!!!
22:27 urleastfavteacher: decent number for CLS imo but not huge
22:28 PerpetualDamagedCass: they've admitted 221 this year, last year they admitted 290 (all on LSData obv, just self reported)... considering there are more people on lsdata this year I'm gonna say they have quite a few to go
22:28 PerpetualDamagedCass: Like it's not even march.
22:28 PerpetualDamagedCass: only school that may be trouble is Duke because of PT
22:33 dkh2020: Man I interviewed with cls at the beginning of the month I want my decision :(
22:37 JoyousYellowOctopus: hey do u guys know if its possible to switch a rd app to ed?
22:42 mayoicecream: @JoyousYellowOctopus: i think it depends on the school, i would ask admissions
23:20 SpotlessReadyCapybara: probably too late for most schools now
23:21 DropoutBear: Some schools have 3/1 deadlines, hopefully next week is wavier
23:36 SpookyInnocentLynx: is there a date in past cycles when most decisions have been made?
23:37 DropoutBear: Each school is different but usually by the first week of March a lot of decisions are out - this year it’ll probably be closer to April
23:37 SpookyInnocentLynx: ah ok, thanks, good to know
0:18 BellaNolaKorea: Good luck to everyone for the 3/1 deadlines
0:20 NosyInvinciblePug: if i submitted like a week ago ( feb 16) is it safe to say I wont be hearing back till april?
0:24 DropoutBear: it really just depends, I heard back from Vandy in 3 weeks, others have been waiting for like 6 months
0:26 NosyInvinciblePug: rippp im in review at southwestern & cal western so hopefully thats a quick response
0:26 NosyInvinciblePug: really hoping for chap to pull through sooner than later haha
8:24 iwishiwasellewoods: Do you guys think Fordham is out of space for its incoming class already? So many qualified applicants got WL’ed yesterday and I’m terrified
8:25 iwishiwasellewoods: Wait I just realized it’s Saturday lol oops
8:25 iwishiwasellewoods: I’m so conditioned into logging in LSD first thing in the morning lmfao
8:48 JAlfredPrufrock: I just want to know if I’m going to law school or not because I want to preorder a book and want to know what continent to ship it to lol
11:04 MeaslyDizzyMongrel: Has anyone filled our Fordham’s waitlist survey. If I say yes to being considered for part-time, will they automatically not consider me for full-time since it’s much fewer applicants.
11:31 UnableGrouchyBat: I don't think there's any way to know. Totally depends on how many seats open on their day and PT
11:32 UnableGrouchyBat: I don't think they'd only consider you for PT if you mark it. in the same way it may open more opp for you to attend Fordham, it has to be something you'd definitely enroll if you got PT. otherwise it's not worth marking it if you would ONLY attend day
11:58 willowisp78: has any school been as ridiculous this cycle as W&M? they’re admitting at 75ths only and still sleeping on applications
12:12 PierPissolini: Idk Michigan's 1k strong waitlist is pretty ****ed
12:12 CheapKeenAntelope: They’re going to have a rude awakening when deposit time comes
12:13 PierPissolini: Fingers crossed, this aggression will not stand
12:14 willowisp78: UM waitlist is so messed up :(
12:16 PierPissolini: Dean Z queen of misinformation
12:16 PierPissolini: When she read an app with a 3.6 and a 167 and said "we'll put this in the probably admit pile"
12:16 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: yeah they went way overboard with the waitlists
12:16 willowisp78: still waiting on my mich decision, I can’t imagine they have spots left in either As or the WL
12:17 UnableGrouchyBat: I always forget to take GPAs with a grain of salt since we don't know the undergrad schools. this literally occurred to me yesterday and makes me feel way less neurotic about the stats getting rejected
12:19 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: my only issue is that they know they won't need to have this may people on the waitlist so just reject me lol.
12:20 willowisp78: seriously! I don’t need the anxiety of the WL. gimme that hard decision either way
12:20 PierPissolini: And Berkeley with their non-moving waitlist! Dont get me started!
12:26 QueenNeptune25: hi everyone
12:26 QueenNeptune25: I'm researching for starting the process next year
12:27 QueenNeptune25: my dream school is NYU but would also be super excited with Columbia or UCLA
12:27 PierPissolini: "You sweet summer child"
12:28 QueenNeptune25: I used to go to state school in califonia when i was younger (over 5 years ago) and dropped out with a 3.3. Last year I've picked back up with my junior year at a CUNY and am deans list perfect 4.0 and host a philosophy podcast. do you think I still would have a chance if the 4.0 at CUNY only brings me up to a 3.59 at nyu or columbia with a good lsat
12:29 QueenNeptune25: I. had sales work experience in between for about 5 years
12:29 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: definitely need a good lsat score but you won't be out of the running
12:30 PierPissolini: Second that
12:30 QueenNeptune25: would a 170 be good enough or do i need 175+
12:31 PierPissolini: Breaking 170 could be enough, depending on how friendly the adcomm is, but more points never hurt anyone
12:32 PierPissolini: Btw
12:32 PierPissolini: Anyone go UR2 at USC today?
12:32 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: columbia's median is 172 so you would want to be over that
12:33 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: but a 170 would put you in the running
12:35 QueenNeptune25: how important is urm
12:37 QueenNeptune25: could not disclosing hurt you
12:37 QueenNeptune25: and not disclosing sexuality
12:38 QueenNeptune25: I knw this is a touchy subject for some people I'm sorry
12:38 QueenNeptune25: are there schools where being an urm can hurt you depending what type of urm you are
12:39 willowisp78: definitely disclose URM status and sexuality. can only help, not hurt
12:39 GarrulousDysfunctionalTetra: no, by definition it means you're underrepresented in the legal field so it'll never hurt, though how much it helps will always vary
12:40 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: yeah it is my understanding URM is a boost but its pretty gray how much it helps. but definitely won't hurt
12:52 ghostwriter: Yall do we think Duke is gonna send out decisions today?
12:52 ghostwriter: They've been active on weekends
12:52 LsatTraintoClarksville: I wouldn't count on it but anything's possible for them
12:53 ghostwriter: very true. i just wonder how many A offers they can still send out considering the PT admits
12:53 LsatTraintoClarksville: no way to tell atm
12:54 Torquatus: i wonder how similar other lower t14 graphs will look like dukes at the end of the cycle
12:54 mayoicecream: For Duke... do we know when admits should expect scholly offers?
12:54 Torquatus: I heard their scholly committe meets every two weeks. they sent out first schollies last monday
12:55 Torquatus: its depends on when you interview
12:58 mayoicecream: @Torquatus: thanks! They never reached out to me about an interview so I'm not sure... but knowing that theyre starting to send them out is helpful! I def don't expect much but right now I'm trying to decide between duke, northwestern, ucla ($$) and minnesota ($$$$) so knowing scholarship offers would definitely help
13:00 Torquatus: @mayoicecream: did you recieve the scholarshp application email?
13:01 Torquatus: maybe all of their interview spots have been booked up
13:02 Torquatus: congrats on your options tho. thats a great cycle
13:04 dkh2020: How are UCLA admits feeling about your scholly offers?
13:05 dkh2020: I was pleasantly surprised by mine after how rough the cycle has been
13:05 dkh2020: Thought they might lowball
13:09 eyeseeyou: Duke UR3 today anyone?
13:09 OvaryAct: waitlisted ayyyy
13:47 allenwelshdulles: @dhk2020: what did you get? I got 120, happy with it I think
13:58 justoutside: I went UR3 Duke today too
13:59 RollTheDice: I havent heard from UCLA re scholarship yet. should be concerned?
13:59 RollTheDice: *Should i be
14:07 KeenLowlyVulture: I’m stuck at UR1 for more than 3 months.. Does this mean waitlist/rejection?
14:07 KeenLowlyVulture: for Duke*
14:42 MistyPushyPossum: I also haven't heard scholly details yet from UCLA, and they admitted me less than a week after I went complete
14:43 MistyPushyPossum: So...maybe it's not bad news? But also, I'm <25 percentile GPA, so who knows
14:48 MakeshiftMaliciousGoat: Same on both counts MPP
14:48 MakeshiftMaliciousGoat: It seems like they may just not have finished them all
14:48 MakeshiftMaliciousGoat: So it probably isn’t worth worrying just yet
14:48 MakeshiftMaliciousGoat: Save panic for the weekdays
14:49 MistyPushyPossum: that's a good policy
14:49 AvailableRhetoricalLiger: so guys, is next week the last KJ1 week??
14:50 MistyPushyPossum: couldn't they theoretically do KJ1 on March 11?
14:50 JimmyButlerDaGoat: probably last one, they usually stop 2 weeks before the next A wave
14:50 MistyPushyPossum: ah
14:52 JimmyButlerDaGoat: but the way this cycle has gone...who knows lol
14:53 JimmyButlerDaGoat: I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a big KJ1 wave this week & big A wave in March
15:06 ChuckRhoades: so is duke ever going to release more decisions
15:13 SoftTameCoral: has uconn lost my contact information??
15:17 GiantCrookedEarwig: I honestly can’t imagine how HLS is going to make decisions on 50% of their applicant pool in the next three weeks with only 1 more KJ1 wave of ~60-150interviews. There must be several thousand applicants left. There were like 70 more A’s by this time last year on LSD alone.
15:27 RainyDisastrousQuetzal: Is the HLS WL a bad spot this cycle
15:38 ToughHardGrouse: harvard has interviewed a pretty decent number of people
15:39 ToughHardGrouse: HLS WL is always not a great spot -- but better than other waitlists -- the ultimate acceptance rate for WL applicants is around 7%
15:39 allenwelshdulles: @ToughHardGrouse: where do you get hthe figure for waitlist conversion rate?
15:40 ToughHardGrouse: calculated it myself using lsdata from last year
15:40 ToughHardGrouse: (lsdata isnt exactly representative of the applicant pool, but it is representative of people on lsdata & we're all on lsdata)
15:41 UghSad: this is a weird year tho so who knows
15:41 UghSad: and waitlist usage is generally pretty variable
15:44 ToughHardGrouse: harvard has only interviewed ~600-800 students, whereas we would expect about ~900 or so
15:45 UghSad: Ik i do think it looks small, idk what theyre doing
15:45 ncan360: @ToughHardGrouse: Do you think next week will be a big wave, or are they going for a huge WL and expecting higher yield?
15:46 UghSad: I would think this would be a big wave but it doesnt seem like theyve done enough interviews for it to be
15:46 ToughHardGrouse: there wont be a huge wave
15:46 GiantCrookedEarwig: They accepted 968 last year. Given there’s not a 100% conversion rate (KJ1s have already been WL and R this year), they’re more than 1 wave of the same size as the last few from having done enough KJ1s to admit the same numbers.
15:47 ToughHardGrouse: thats assuming constant yield, deferrals, and class size though
15:47 UghSad: Maybe they had more deferals than they have been letting on
15:47 ToughHardGrouse: i would bet on it
15:47 ToughHardGrouse: almost every school lies to raise applicant numbers
15:47 ToughHardGrouse: in small ways or big
15:47 UghSad: (Though they have to release those numbers so lying just seems slimy)
15:47 UghSad: True
15:49 UghSad: So pure speculation, you think this next wave wont be huge but will get harvard to the number of admits they want? Do you think that's significantly under their usual 900 offers
15:50 ToughHardGrouse: i mean i bet it will be larger than normal
15:50 ToughHardGrouse: but not *huge*
15:50 ToughHardGrouse: 22% of people above both medians have already been interviewed
15:51 VitaminD: Hey guys! Can I ask a question about Mich's A
15:51 VitaminD: by last year's graph
15:51 VitaminD: hey dont really admit ppl after feb 28
15:51 VitaminD: :'(
15:51 VitaminD: but they havent gotten to later applicants yet
15:52 VitaminD: =me
15:52 ToughHardGrouse: dont read into that.
15:52 UghSad: Yeah they will let more ppl in
15:52 UghSad: I wouldnt expect big A waves tho
15:52 VitaminD: i see. so just small trickles
15:53 VitaminD: hopefully they give me a result soon
15:53 VitaminD: i applied late Jan
16:12 JimmyButlerDaGoat: one more thing about harvard for those who are interested
16:14 GiantCrookedEarwig: Don’t leave us hanging @Jimmy
16:15 JimmyButlerDaGoat: I went complete mid-late Jan, received a kj1 2-18 (yea I was surprised too) so for later applicants, pretty sure they’re getting to our apps now. I wouldn’t rule this next kj1 wave being big on dec/jan/feb applicants (somebody else alluded to this on reddit)
16:18 JimmyButlerDaGoat: my stats aren’t tremendous either so for anyone waiting/on the waitlist I would tell y’all not to lose hope
16:21 Tahminehdbi: is BU is a good school?
16:21 JimmyButlerDaGoat: Yes!
16:22 Tahminehdbi: why
16:27 GiantCrookedEarwig: @JimmyButlerDaGoat: idk I can see why you stood out since you have a great GPA and most of the Jan/Feb applicants on LSD are below one or both of HLS’ medians.
16:30 JimmyButlerDaGoat: that’s true earwig, but I’m below the LSAT median too. It definitely helps I’m URM, but they’ve been rejecting folks with high stats across groups. All I’m saying is don’t lose hope. You never know what could happen
16:30 JimmyButlerDaGoat: HLS or not, good news is on the way for all of us
16:34 JimmyButlerDaGoat: my interviewer told me I won’t hear back for a few weeks and there’s folks that get still have to interview in the upcoming weeks, so a KJ1 wave is 99.9% coming this week and maybe the one after
16:36 YoungPineapple: Hey y'all - Just wanted to ask, how long do you think it will take to hear back from early Feb apps? Applied mostly around the T10-T20 range, stats close to medians for those schools but not above by much or anything so it'll be close. I'm guessing late March - early April?
16:37 JimmyButlerDaGoat: yeah I would say mid-march to early April
16:39 YoungPineapple: Hope I get the Jimmy Butler treatment. Stats don't tell the full story hahaha
16:40 JimmyButlerDaGoat: LMAOOOOOO facts!!!
16:40 YoungPineapple: Haha Gl with your apps
16:42 JimmyButlerDaGoat: You too pineapple 💪🏾
16:47 PhobicRhetoricalRottweiler: I got a fat ass DONG from Florida state yesterday I am sad. The email hurt my feelings they practically told me I ain’t s h y t compared to the other applicants they admitted :(
16:49 Overlywishfulthinker: What the heck? what did they say
17:03 ToughHardGrouse: @JimmyButlerDaGoat: that was me on reddit.
17:03 ToughHardGrouse: ive been doing a bit more analysis and i think, while the next KJ1 wave will still be dec/jan/feb heavy, i think it will be less heavy on jan/feb than i initially did
17:04 ToughHardGrouse: because there are significantly fewer > 50ths from jan/feb
17:04 ToughHardGrouse: (but the rate is still lower for >50ths in jan/feb)
17:08 ToughHardGrouse: I would say something like ~20-30% Jan, ~0-10% Feb, ~20-30% Dec, rest split equally Sep/Oct/Nov
17:12 JimmyButlerDaGoat: I thought it was you grouse, that was an incredible analysis ! I know you’ve been waiting for your KJ1–im looking forward to seeing your good news in here next thurs!
17:14 JimmyButlerDaGoat: And that totally makes sense, I know there was a decent number of fall applicants in this past wave, so I definitely wouldn’t be surprised by more next week
17:18 JimmyButlerDaGoat: Rottweiler, what did they write?
17:26 PhobicRhetoricalRottweiler: They wrote the applicant pool this year is very strong for their entering class. In other words my application isn’t strong enough.
17:27 PhobicRhetoricalRottweiler: I honestly might not get into any school this year
17:28 ThirstyCaterpillar: when are most seat deposits due?
17:31 Bad-Bunny-Is-My-Dad: Middle of April
17:31 ToughHardGrouse: yeah im really hoping for a KJ1, but we'll see!
17:51 UncertainElectricDolphin: Do we think UVA is done interviewing?
18:07 ToughHardGrouse: definitely not
18:07 ToughHardGrouse: their app isnt even closed yet
18:08 BelowMedianSaddie: omg JIMMY BUTLER IS THE GOAT @JimmyButlerDaGoat:
18:09 JimmyButlerDaGoat: @BelowMedianSaddie: feel me? should’ve won a championship last year lol
18:10 BelowMedianSaddie: things are looking up for this season
18:10 BelowMedianSaddie: i agree tho on last season - poor goran
18:11 LegallyNotBlonde: i had a dream i got all WLs
18:12 JimmyButlerDaGoat: @BelowMedianSaddie: are you a heat fan? That’s wassup lol
18:13 JimmyButlerDaGoat: @LegallyNotBlonde: wow....I have yet to have a law school admissions dream. I’m jealous of y’all l
18:13 JimmyButlerDaGoat: Lol*
18:13 LegallyNotBlonde: it was a true nightmare lol
18:36 NosyInvinciblePug: that feeling when loyola la sends an email....but its promo :(
18:42 rapidwavefire: im somehow still around for hls lol

18:59 NosyInvinciblePug: @rapidwavefire: fingers crossed you get that A!!!
19:00 NosyInvinciblePug: no use checking here on a weekend...but here I am lol
19:11 FlagrantUpbeatTerrier: do harvard people get in without writing the optional essay
19:13 LegallyClueless: to get a wl at hls do u need a interview
19:19 Doggopups: does jannell roberts of lsu law keep emailing you or is that just me
19:25 lauren-law: JANNELL WONT LEAVE ME ALONE
19:27 UghSad: @LegallyClueless: idk if ur still here but nope they interview from the WL
20:19 catpluscoffee: hi friends first time logging on in a few days hope everyone is good <3
20:56 Erra2242: Hi everyone, I have a question about typical scholarship info from the UCs
21:38 ChuckRhoades: go for it erra
22:07 Lawsimp: did anyone apply for any of UCLA's scholarships?
