23:16 CorporateCatastrophe: Sorry, you guys all have your profiles hidden lol
23:17 PierPissolini: **** it, mask off
23:17 CorporateCatastrophe: I'm just happy I'm in the 160s. My first score, official, is a 148. That was a BUMMER.
23:17 DropoutBear: I will pay twice the deposit if I get into UChicago lmao
23:17 CorporateCatastrophe: Imagine emailing them that. "I will pay double ;)"
23:18 DropoutBear: I will literally pay any amount they want for the deposit lol

23:18 CorporateCatastrophe: Can i ask why?
23:18 PierPissolini: Lmao harvard hit me with that 'we see you havent completed your app' email and I was all, "so this means im in?"
23:19 CorporateCatastrophe: Chicago seems nice but... man. I'm taking Michigan with the money and running if I'm in at chicago
23:19 PierPissolini: @Torquatus: Totally would have waited if it werent for the Jan LSAT and that i dont have my shit together outside of this
23:19 DropoutBear: I’m from Chicago so I will sell my soul to the Illuminati to get in
23:19 CorporateCatastrophe: Ohhhhh I gotcha
23:19 DropoutBear: Northwestern hit me with a WL
23:20 CorporateCatastrophe: Hey, if youre from chicago, does Northwestern even exist? I literally have not heard a single ****ing thing about that school. I'm convinced its not real and nobody goes tehre
23:20 PierPissolini: I like to think regional relationships help but damn thats icy
23:20 CorporateCatastrophe: Literally everyone is like Michigan! Chicago! Yale! Cornell!
23:20 CorporateCatastrophe: I have never seen a northwestern lol
23:20 DropoutBear: NU likes WE and I’m a KJD
23:20 CorporateCatastrophe: Ahhhhhh yup thats a problem with NU
23:20 DropoutBear: Northwestern’s campus is a few buildings downtown
23:20 LameDrearyCoon: NU seems to hate me too
23:21 LameDrearyCoon: I live close by and can attest the campus is just a few buildings
23:21 DropoutBear: I think I may get off the waitlist but who knows
23:21 LameDrearyCoon: but downtown area is pretty nice
23:21 PierPissolini: My NU Kira was so ****in bad lol
23:21 DropoutBear: My WL KIRA was gas
23:21 Torquatus: honestly any t14 acceptance with a scholly is an amazing outcome, especially this cycle
23:21 CorporateCatastrophe: See for me I'm for sure looking for a CAMPUS. Not something like a building downtown but thats just me
23:21 PierPissolini: True that, torq
23:21 LameDrearyCoon: you can go to the evanston campus
23:21 DropoutBear: Yeah same @corp
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: that's a real campus and super pretty too
23:22 DropoutBear: Evanston campus is far
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: but ls is now there haha
23:22 CorporateCatastrophe: I just visited cornell last week. Its gorg

23:22 CorporateCatastrophe: just so ****ing hilly
23:22 DropoutBear: But yeah that campus is amazing
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: evanston is right next to the lake
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: so nice
23:22 CorporateCatastrophe: so cold
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: ya
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: that you can't avoid
23:22 LameDrearyCoon: it's a fact of life in chicago
23:22 CorporateCatastrophe: -sincerely the other side of the lake with even more snow than you guys
23:23 LameDrearyCoon: it's windy af but you get used to it
23:23 dkh2020: Are there kj1s tmo?
23:23 PierPissolini: oh god i hope not
23:23 CorporateCatastrophe: dont even know what that means
23:23 PierPissolini: getting one vs not getting one, which would send me into more of a panic?
23:23 CorporateCatastrophe: Wait pier, if youre in chicago, why no Mich or WashU?
23:23 LameDrearyCoon: kj1=harvard interview

23:29 Torquatus: just want to celebrate my 163d day UR2 at UVA
23:29 Torquatus: cheers
23:35 ToughHardGrouse: in case you guys were wondering: no, schools didnt update my status between 8:30 and 9:30PM tonight...
23:38 BrightQuaintLoon: I just read on reddit that someone talked to Berk admissions and was told another wave by the end of the week. Crossing fingers!
23:46 UghSad: i don't believe anyone who says they called and asked when decisions would be released
23:47 Bad-Bunny-Is-My-Dad: Wait did u
23:47 Bad-Bunny-Is-My-Dad: UM waitlist ppl
23:48 UghSad: not recently
23:56 SpotlessReadyCapybara: Did northwestern wave today?
23:56 DropoutBear: They did not @spotless
23:57 DropoutBear: Waves do die, apparently
23:57 SpotlessReadyCapybara: interesting
23:57 SpotlessReadyCapybara: I applied first week in November but didn’t do my Kira until December 1
23:57 SpotlessReadyCapybara: so not sure if this is bad news yet
23:58 DropoutBear: I got a waitlist a few weeks back so better than that haha
0:25 NosyInvinciblePug: hey yall! I noticed an adcomm had looked at my linkdin and sent a conneciton request a few days ago....he just accepted it, is this a good sign or just a coincidence?
0:47 SmoothUnStereotype: sounds sus
0:48 SmoothUnStereotype: like unprofessional
0:48 NosyInvinciblePug: on my part or his?
0:48 SmoothUnStereotype: His.
0:48 SmoothUnStereotype: Sounds like he wants to look at you.
0:48 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: Kinda sus haha but a couple years ago a Wake Forest adcom dm'd me on reddit on a post complaining about them and I kinda doxxed myself but I still got in with a pretty decent scholly
0:48 NosyInvinciblePug: whats strange to me is my app isnt even UR
0:49 SmoothUnStereotype: What school is this?
0:49 NosyInvinciblePug: @OssifiedHistoricalKoala: i make sure to say no names for this reason lol
0:49 NosyInvinciblePug: lets just say in orange, california...
0:49 SmoothUnStereotype: This is just my gut
0:49 SmoothUnStereotype: I don't know you
0:49 SmoothUnStereotype: I just looked at your profile briefly
0:50 NosyInvinciblePug: also, im URM and the adcomm is the diversity one
0:50 SmoothUnStereotype: It sounds like he's a bored middle aged man who wants to look at a hot younger woman
0:50 SmoothUnStereotype: He may also be genuinely looking at your work experiences
0:50 SmoothUnStereotype: But if you submitted a resume
0:50 SmoothUnStereotype: He literally has no reason to reach out via LinkedIn
0:50 SmoothUnStereotype: He can email you for references to confirm employment
0:51 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: It would be super sus if it was on insta lol
0:51 NosyInvinciblePug: @SmoothUnStereotype: did submit a resume! i thought it was odd he did the connection like 3 days after lurking
0:51 SmoothUnStereotype: @NosyInvinciblePug: because he's trying to straddle the line
0:51 SmoothUnStereotype: between IG lurk
0:51 SmoothUnStereotype: but he wants to be professional
0:52 SmoothUnStereotype: Men sometimes lurk on my LinkedIn
0:52 SmoothUnStereotype: He sounds sus, I'm sorry you're experiencing this low-level stalkerish behavior
0:52 NosyInvinciblePug: oh yikes... hopefully i can at least get an A out of this lol
0:52 SmoothUnStereotype: How old are you?
0:52 SmoothUnStereotype: and how old do you think he is?
0:53 SmoothUnStereotype: I'm guessing you're 22 and he's in his late 40s
0:53 NosyInvinciblePug: I'm 20, he graduated UG in 2003
0:53 NosyInvinciblePug: LOL
0:54 NosyInvinciblePug: i was 3 in 2003...
0:54 SmoothUnStereotype: Gross
0:54 SmoothUnStereotype: My take is that he's looking to rub one out and he's also looking at your background, which is very art/events focused
0:54 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: I think you may have an A there, Nosy
0:55 SmoothUnStereotype: In any case, I hope you get in and I hope no more adcom people creep on your profiles.
0:55 NosyInvinciblePug: really hoping for an A... I'm hoping my softs are enough to make up for my low stats
0:55 SmoothUnStereotype: Well, creeping is one thing but sending connection requests is different
0:55 SmoothUnStereotype: Your stats are fine
0:55 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: Fingers crossed!
0:56 SmoothUnStereotype: as long as you make the case for why you want to be a lawyer you're all good
0:56 NosyInvinciblePug: i talked about wanting to do entertainment/ art law to help artists like myself! hopefully that will make me stand out a bit
0:57 SmoothUnStereotype: Well we'll find out soon enough. I'm rooting for you!
0:57 NosyInvinciblePug: I didnt see any example essays on a similar topic...i could be totally basic for all i know lol
0:57 SmoothUnStereotype: I think wanting to go to law school at 20 is ballsy and very cool
0:57 SmoothUnStereotype: I'm 31 and this is my second career change
0:58 NosyInvinciblePug: Life is going fast...I want to make the most of it
0:58 NosyInvinciblePug: who knows, i could be 31 and wanting to have a different career
0:58 SmoothUnStereotype: You don't want to go too fast at 20
0:58 SmoothUnStereotype: you're still learning a lot
0:59 NosyInvinciblePug: not too fast, just dont want to fall behind and miss out. I would rather establish myself now and be able to have fun later
0:59 SmoothUnStereotype: what would you be missing out on?
1:00 NosyInvinciblePug: school, i dont want to get sucked into a job and not have the motivation or drive to go back
1:00 NosyInvinciblePug: would rather ride the momentum
1:00 SmoothUnStereotype: fair
1:00 SmoothUnStereotype: but you also would have nothing to compare it to
1:01 SmoothUnStereotype: you'd be 23 and in school your whole life and no full time professional experience besides internships
1:01 NosyInvinciblePug: I've worked in the other route i was thinking, I was okay but not completely satisfied
1:01 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: I feel you Nosy. I'm 22 and am on a gap year working and I know that if I don't go back to school now I will be settled into a career for the next 20 years and then have too much going on to go back and do it
1:02 SmoothUnStereotype: Hey!
1:02 NosyInvinciblePug: @OssifiedHistoricalKoala: it just makes sense...i have the time and cash on hand to do it now---i might never have those two things again
1:02 SmoothUnStereotype: That's not true, and it's also not fair.
1:02 SmoothUnStereotype: There are plenty of people who go back to school @Ossified
1:03 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: @SmoothUnStereotype: I know myself and even rn I kinda just want to work even though I am not too happy with my job
1:03 SmoothUnStereotype: That's true, @Nosy, having money and time are rare things to have at the same time
1:03 SmoothUnStereotype: I happen to have both largely because I've worked a lot and don't have kids.
1:03 NosyInvinciblePug: never really had either before so im taking my chance and running with it
1:04 SmoothUnStereotype: Go for it!
1:04 SmoothUnStereotype: @OssifiedHistoricalKoala: I think having extensive work experience with progressively more responsibility made my application stronger.
1:05 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: Also I already have 2 law degrees (an LLB from England and an LLM from the US) I want to go into legal academia so I kinda have to do a JD to do that in the US
1:06 SmoothUnStereotype: To go into legal academia you usually need an LLM
1:06 SmoothUnStereotype: a JD/LLM
1:06 SmoothUnStereotype: So I guess you're getting the JD part
1:06 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: Not really. But yeah, I did an LLM beforehand.
1:07 SmoothUnStereotype: I'm confused, but that's okay.
1:07 NosyInvinciblePug: @OssifiedHistoricalKoala: youre 22 with 2 grad degrees? impressive
1:08 SmoothUnStereotype: (an LLB is an undergrad degree)
1:08 NosyInvinciblePug: ahhh i see
1:08 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: Haha one grad degree and one undergrad but thank you
1:09 NosyInvinciblePug: @ossified, are you from england or did you SA
1:12 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: I am from the US. I've wanted to be in legal academia since high school so I decided that instead of studying poli sci or something for UG, I would benefit from studying in another common law country. England was kinda perfect for that.
1:13 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: Also Brexit happened and gave me a 33% discount when the pound dropped against the dollar lol
1:15 NosyInvinciblePug: ahh yes brexit
1:15 NosyInvinciblePug: the cause of my shipping nightmares
1:16 NosyInvinciblePug: shipping to england is a pain now bc of that....
1:18 OssifiedHistoricalKoala: @NosyInvinciblePug: Tell me about it! That and idek what is going to happen with EU SEPA regulations re the UK.
1:20 NosyInvinciblePug: i ship via fedex priority express for all my orders and they put a stinkin surcharge on some orgers going there
1:20 NosyInvinciblePug: nasty boogers
1:40 RaspberryEnthusiast: GULC sent me an email today with a fee waive
1:40 RaspberryEnthusiast: *waiver
1:41 RaspberryEnthusiast: I wasn't gonna apply but they said such nice things that now I feel obligated to
1:45 NosyInvinciblePug: do it! doesnt hurt :)
1:55 Lawsimp: are there any wave predictions for tomorrow
