11:44 nota999: If I'd known how supportive everyone here would be, I might have asked for one from one of them too.
11:44 pilkyboids: @nota999: I feel you on that, it's going to be a loaded thing to tell them haha. That's super encouraging to hear
11:44 RuralSmoggyMastiff: @pilkyboids: no problem! I think because they've all been through the law school admissions process they know how stressful it can be and are likely to get it done faster
11:47 pilkyboids: @RuralSmoggyMastiff: Thanks that makes sense! Ha makes me a lot less scared to drop the news on them
11:48 IcicleBumpkin: told my boss the other day. super fricking supportive
11:48 odovek: I was at a small firm with 5 people and they were kinda planning on/hoping i would be there basically my whole career, deciding when to tell them and all that was probably the most stressful part of admissions for me
11:48 IcicleBumpkin: so nice. then said "tell me before you make your final decision. I want to try to keep you"
11:48 IcicleBumpkin: I was blown away
11:48 DevilishSkillfulBracke: @IcicleBumpkin: that's so cool
11:48 DevilishSkillfulBracke: I love when bosses are supportive
11:49 FrankieTheTankie: okay welp I am getting the feeling Berk either really liked my application or is just passing it around for everyone to laugh at real quick before they R me
11:49 FrankieTheTankie: *nervous laughter*
11:49 RuralSmoggyMastiff: Yes definitely worth mentioning that my law firm fully expects paralegals to only stay for two years so they were super supportive but also already knew we'd both be moving on
11:50 IcicleBumpkin: I think folks are also more understanding this year b/c of COVID. just lots of folks reexamining stuff (as we see from app volume)]
11:50 K-justwaiting: UVA wave going on but should we not read into it? I know UVA is doing its own thing fr fr and when they conduct interviews they get back to people pretty quick right?
11:51 K-justwaiting: *small wave idk if you can even call it that lol
11:51 trinab: Anyone else hoping for a Suffolk wave today
11:52 JAlfredPrufrock: @trinab: yeah it’ll be 2 weeks tomorrow since I went UR
11:52 JAlfredPrufrock: So I’m really hoping to hear back
11:52 trinab: @JAlfredPrufrock: ooooh good luck! I just hit 3 weeks yesterday ugh
11:52 trinab: *3 weeks complete
11:53 JAlfredPrufrock: your stats are great tho!!
11:53 VitaminD: CLS A wave
11:53 trinab: @JAlfredPrufrock: thank you so much!! hope we both hear back soon
11:53 K-justwaiting: clssss wave coming througgggh
11:53 JuicemanOJ: guys, i'm really hoping that I get accepted to the part time program at John Marshall. however if I dont and I get accepted to southern or Northern illinois I will have to quit my job and go to school fulltime on the G.I Bill thats a huge risk because I have a Mortgage to pay. WHat would you guys do?
11:53 K-justwaiting: can you get into pls without an interview right?
11:54 masterofallfoursections: wait was there another CLS WL wave
11:54 brendog: i do not plan on taking part in this cls A wave
11:54 Tortally-Radical: Do you ever get rejection from a top school and think: "Good for you, law school, you made the right decision."
11:55 prettylittlebird: Anyone else go UR2 at NYU? Good sign or bad sign?
11:55 FrankieTheTankie: @JuicemanOJ: I think you're a strong bet for JM, fingers crossed for you man
11:55 legallyblonde214: Hi friends :) has anyone been stuck on UR1 at penn for awhile? im still UR1 from 1/5 *cries*
11:55 JuicemanOJ: @FrankieTheTankie: thanks brother I really hope so man!
11:55 brendog: aw cmon @tortally-radical you shouldn't get that down on yourself (as someone who does get that down on themself)
11:55 nota999: @Tortally-Radical: Every decision that went against me came with a "Your loss, ****ers"
11:56 masterofallfoursections: ive been UR1 at NYU since December 14 lmao
11:56 ImportedSwiftPug: I respect GULC for slogging through the mountain of applicants every day
11:56 Tortally-Radical: I feel that but also when we are talking about the tippity top schools I don't think its self-deprecating to recognize I am very likely not the best person for the job
11:57 pilkyboids: @nota999: lol yes
11:57 Tortally-Radical: If anything I think I would lose respect for the institution if they let me in hahhaa
11:57 brendog: @Tortally-Radical: feel you. i attacked my harvard R, berk R, and ucla WL with humor
11:57 FrankieTheTankie: @Tortally-Radical: lmao yeah I feel that, on some level I applied to some schools that I will be slightly relieved to be rejected from
11:58 trinab: @JAlfredPrufrock: it's 2-4 weeks from when it was listed as complete, right?
11:58 pizzalover1212: will American accept students today or keep everyone hanging for a little longer
11:58 CEOofShotShooting: Eh I disagree. Ive met a lot of the tippity top of law schools admits and they may ja e one decent logical reasoning their common sense seems to b lacking
11:58 nota999: @Tortally-Radical: The biggest difference between you and those people you're thinking are the "best [people] for the job" mostly comes down to confidence. I mean, Giuliani went to NYU, after all.
11:58 CEOofShotShooting: Geeze. At least they can type
11:58 FrankieTheTankie: It's not that the big school are really so much tougher, it's the pomp and circumstance and nonsense...it looks exhausting
11:59 Tortally-Radical: I dunno nota, I still count on my finger
11:59 IcicleBumpkin: guiliani went to NYU?
11:59 Tortally-Radical: fingers* I did not lose 9
11:59 NicklausCopernicus18: Giuliani wasn't totally insane at one point, it's worth noting
11:59 NicklausCopernicus18: the rot set in in his brain over many years
11:59 NicklausCopernicus18: he started out just racist and authoritarian
11:59 brendog: alan dershowitz for example. idiot who went to harvard law
11:59 DropoutBear: Yup
11:59 NicklausCopernicus18: it would take years before he would completely lose his mind
12:00 nota999: @Tortally-Radical: If being good at math was a requirement of being a lawyer, then the bar and the bench would suddenly be a lot emptier.
12:00 TheOther51: Dershowitz is more crazy than an idiot
12:00 FrankieTheTankie: @nota truth
12:00 Tortally-Radical: true say
12:00 NicklausCopernicus18: Dersh is objectively brilliant
12:00 NicklausCopernicus18: just immoral
12:00 DropoutBear: There are people at school who are evil but still smart
12:00 LiquidSolid: Dershowitz went to Yale
12:00 brendog: oh my b
12:00 NicklausCopernicus18: Yeah he just teaches at Harvard
12:00 FrankieTheTankie: I think about 20% of what gets shaded as brilliance in Dersh is shameless, willful bad faith, but sure
12:00 brendog: gotcha
12:01 BoysDoFallinLove: anyone familiar with the SEO Law program?
12:01 K-justwaiting: not crazy familiar but I've people speak highly about the program
12:01 K-justwaiting: check reddit for some personal anecdotes!
12:01 nota999: I got emails about it, but didn't look too much into it since it sounded like it was aimed at people with different goals from me @boysdofallinlove
12:02 BoysDoFallinLove: @nota999: ah I see. Same kinda I want to do PI but wouldn't mind the support. I am wondering whether it's worth updating schools to let them know about the interview?
12:02 ColossalHyrax: oh my god I missed an email to interview with Columbia
12:03 ColossalHyrax: they just sent me an email asking if I was still interested bc they hadn't heard from me
12:03 SomberLumpySquid: ohno
12:03 masterofallfoursections: my spam box is so empty lmao
12:03 yearningtolawyer: oh no
12:03 FrankieTheTankie: @ColossalHyrax: nooooo at least they reached out again!!
12:03 ColossalHyrax: idkkkk what to doooo ughhh
12:03 masterofallfoursections: oh shoot
12:03 masterofallfoursections: was it in your spam?
12:03 ColossalHyrax: it must've been! I clear it out often and must have not seen it
12:03 nota999: @BoysDoFallinLove: I don't know how many people get invited to interview, but assuming it's fairly exclusive it might not be a bad idea. I think the better idea would be waiting until you have a result from it, but the interview could maybe be okay too.
12:05 odovek: I finally answered one of the spam calls that I have been getting form CA numbers every day and it was LSATMax lol
12:06 brendog: i'll answer any call these days
12:06 nota999: speaking of interviews though, not me anxiously checking my email every break I can take to see if the blume interview invite is in there lol
12:07 nota999: Even now that my cycle is over it's not really OVER over yet because I need to know how much I'll be paying at Gtown, even if no matter what happens there it'll be a good amount.
12:08 brendog: best of the best of luck hope that email comes soon
12:09 nota999: fingers crossed! The application for the blume closed today, so hopefully that means that I'll know in the next couple days if I'm interviewing. I think if I get to the interview stage, I've got a pretty good shot of getting the actual scholarship since I tend to interview well.
12:10 AccurateMomentousWildebeest: Did CLS only accept two people?
12:10 nota999: But even if I don't get it, just getting to the interview stage gets you a public interest fellowship, which doesn't come with a scholarship but does get you access to some networking events and stuff like that, as well as a nice resume line.
12:11 nextbooks: What are today's expected waves?
12:11 masterofallfoursections: what does it feel like to get accepted to cls
12:11 SomberLumpySquid: Yeah I was thinking it might take like a week or so on interviews for blume maybe??
12:11 brendog: columbia will have an incoming class of 2 students
12:12 pilkyboids: @nota999: Best of luck, hope all the pressure's off on you now and you can get the rest of the process done lickety split
12:12 nota999: @SomberLumpySquid: I think there's a possibility it might come a bit sooner, since I sent in my app a few days ago and hopefully they started reviewing it not long after that. But more than anything I just wanna knooooooow
12:12 masterofallfoursections: I am getting anxious with CLS... I feel like im heading towards a WL :(
12:12 masterofallfoursections: and if anyone says "no defeatism" @ me your address so we can fight
12:12 SomberLumpySquid: @nota999: totally true, I hope they
12:12 SomberLumpySquid: re reviewing like that!
12:12 nota999: @masterofallfoursections: No defeatism, come at me.
12:12 masterofallfoursections: and that is WL if I am lucky
12:13 masterofallfoursections: @nota999: you tryna catch these weak grandma hands????
12:13 SomberLumpySquid: I just submitted super recently so I guess I hadn't gotten around to thinking about the interview
12:13 AccurateMomentousWildebeest: I'm in a weird spot with CLS because i thought i was definitely not getting it, then they gave me an interview and they are getting my hopes up too high
12:13 nota999: @masterofallfoursections: I'll meet them with my nerdy noodle arms!
12:14 nota999: honed with my daily workout of notary stamping lol
12:14 LSHopeful2021: morning team. any violence expected today?
12:14 brendog: yes as always
12:14 nota999: @LSHopeful2021: Yes, between me and master
12:15 nota999: from schools idk
12:15 JAlfredPrufrock: the violence hasn’t stopped since September
12:15 nextbooks: @nota999: kinky
12:15 ThisIsAGoodUsername: agh ONE PERSON got into DU yesterday
12:15 ThisIsAGoodUsername: why was that one person not me
12:15 ThisIsAGoodUsername: lol
12:15 masterofallfoursections: LMFAO
12:15 LSHopeful2021: march already has us on edge
12:15 BuffalentBuffalo: bro im so on edge
12:15 ThisIsAGoodUsername: I'm approaching the awkward stage with my boss
12:16 ThisIsAGoodUsername: of him being like "sooooooo...law school. that happening, orrrr"
12:16 BuffalentBuffalo: im waiting on 12 schools after submitting late nov., aaaaahhhhhhhhhh
12:16 masterofallfoursections: question... when should I send my LOCI to HLS? Is it better to be sooner than later?
12:16 JAlfredPrufrock: I had two breakdowns and a panic attack today
12:16 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @masterofallfoursections I think so!
12:16 JAlfredPrufrock: so I get the “on edge” sentiment lol
12:16 masterofallfoursections: kk thank you
12:16 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @jalfredprufrock i'm sorry friend :(
12:16 nota999: @JAlfredPrufrock: That...doesn't sound healthy. You might want to try to find the space to take a breather from this process for a bit.
12:16 JinxCatmilton: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: just rip off the band aid,
12:16 masterofallfoursections: I plan to ride this HLS WL for as LONGGGG as I can. Pain awaits me this summer :')
12:17 LSHopeful2021: did CLS really drop 2 acceptances and then bounce
12:17 GiantCrookedEarwig: @master I think spivey and other consultants say the best time is like 1 day before seat deposit so your interest is fresh in their mind when they start to pull from WL
12:17 BuffalentBuffalo: same, ima be on hella waitlists this sumer
12:17 JinxCatmilton: @JAlfredPrufrock: oh no! I hope youre taking a break
12:17 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @jinx I can't! I need to get into my effing schools here before I do LOLOL so I keep just. being like "lol no news yet teehehehehee DONT FIRE ME"
12:18 JinxCatmilton: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: what kind of job is it? Im currently a legal assistant so I literally said yeah im gone in august lol
12:18 ThisIsAGoodUsername: oh no I'm full time career and old AF, high level marketing career.
12:18 ThisIsAGoodUsername: lol
12:18 JinxCatmilton: Ohhhhhh
12:18 ThisIsAGoodUsername: it's a huge switch. I pay my mortgage and have student loan debt from undergrad and grad school. realllllly gotta stretch this as long as I can
12:19 ThisIsAGoodUsername: which is why I'm like HELLO DU, HELLO CU, LET A GIRL IN
12:19 JinxCatmilton: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: yeah i wouldnt say anything until you have a couple of acceptances
12:19 JinxCatmilton: ugh im sorry
12:19 JinxCatmilton: i can imagine its stressful
12:19 ThisIsAGoodUsername: all my As are out of state and such a big stress to my marriage in general
12:19 ThisIsAGoodUsername: i just like...y'all have the application and you know I want in, JUST BE COOL GIMME A YES OR NOoooOoOooO
12:19 ThisIsAGoodUsername: this is what I scream to my ceilings at night
12:20 JinxCatmilton: I felt that in my soul ^
12:20 FinancialEsq: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: how did you tell your boss you were applying?
12:20 sunflowervol6: does anyone know that if you go complete at a school but take the LSAT after going complete, does that school get your new LSAT score?
12:21 OutgoingShrimp: they do
12:21 sunflowervol6: oh word okay thanks !
12:21 JAlfredPrufrock: I just need one A so I can relax a little, but if I don’t get in anywhere my prospects are pretty bleak, as I have to stay at a job I hate, living with my parents in Shithole Town, Middle of Nowhere, with zero social contacts outside of my immediate family
12:21 JAlfredPrufrock: So yeah that’s what induces my panic attacks lol
12:22 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @financialesq it was at my yearly review actually LOL! He was like "are there any things for the future you see here, or any things you want to be added to your plate?" and I was teetering back and forth and was like F it. I said listen I am really interested in utilizing my marketing background to make a change in privacy law and so I took the LSAT. no big changes will come until next fall, but if I could be involved in meetings with our lawyers about terms and conditions moving forward, that'd
12:22 ThisIsAGoodUsername: and initially he was like "oh hell yeah, I hate meeting with lawyers" but I think he's starting to catch on like "oh...you would leave here." lol
12:22 AnonBean: anyone point me to a helpful LOCI guide?
12:22 JAlfredPrufrock: It doesn’t help that people with much better stats than mine have gotten only Rs and WLs
12:22 AnonBean: Specifically, the formatting
12:23 JAlfredPrufrock: And that the overall consensus is that intentional applicants have it a lot worse
12:23 kitkatpattywack: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: HEY
12:23 ThisIsAGoodUsername: hiiiieeeeeeee!!!!
12:23 kitkatpattywack: I've been waiting for you!!!!
12:23 ncan360: sorry if this is a dumb question, but will/should we usually get all decisions by seat deposit deadline? I have heard back from <50% of schools, applied in early dec
12:23 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @jalfredprufrock honestly for real, you do. I wish I could make that better.
12:23 dkh2020: If I keep missing the cls waves I may lose my mind
12:23 ncan360: I have one with an April 1 scholarship deadline
12:23 ThisIsAGoodUsername: all of my seat requests are April 1
12:23 FinancialEsq: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: thats great, have you gotten those opportunities yet?
12:23 kitkatpattywack: @ThisIsAGoodUsername: you know how I called that school on Thursday after not hearing from them
12:24 ThisIsAGoodUsername: YES
12:24 kitkatpattywack: and they moved me from received to UR the same day
12:24 kitkatpattywack: I got in yesterday!!!!
12:24 kitkatpattywack: So quick!!
12:24 WastefulDelicateEchidna: @ncan360 same it's v stressful
12:24 ThisIsAGoodUsername: oh my god OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
12:24 kitkatpattywack: like less than 2 business days
12:24 ThisIsAGoodUsername: AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
12:24 kitkatpattywack: See calling is a good thing!!!
12:24 HorribleLittleFlamingo: My apps for LLS and Pepperdine have been complete for over 2 months with no decisions.... is that a bad thing...
12:24 nota999: My work related problem right now is that it seems like my job is just pretending like I'm not leaving. They've known for months that I'll be leaving and roughly when, and I've told them that I want to be able to train my successor, but they're dragging their feet hard on hiring the person even though the training will take a while to get them up to where I am. But I'm leaving when I'm leaving either way. If they don't hire my replacement in time then that's on them.
12:24 Kay: @ncan360: A lot of the schools I applied to said if you get your app in by "X Date" (usually February 15 or March 1), you'd hear back by April 1!
12:25 ThisIsAGoodUsername: I AM ELATED FOR YOU!!!!
12:25 kitkatpattywack: @nota999: when are you planning on moving to DC
12:25 kitkatpattywack: thanks!!
12:25 ncan360: @Kay: good to know! is that for HYS too?
12:25 nervousreversesplitternc: my work expects me to keep working through law school
12:25 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @financialesq yes and no. I've been tasked with rewriting our Ts and Cs but covid makes everything such a back burner issue
12:25 nervousreversesplitternc: like im sorry but
12:25 kitkatpattywack: absollutely not
12:26 Kay: @ncan360: HARVARD "Applications submitted by the priority deadline are guaranteed a decision by April 1." YALE "Decisions for Regular Decision candidates will be posted online via the Yale Admissions Status Portal by April 1. Both Early Action and Regular Decision applicants have until May 1 to reply to an offer of admission."
12:26 nota999: @kitkatpattywack: Current plan is to quit mid/late june and move in July to give my cat time to adjust to a new space and let me get acquainted with the new area.
12:26 nervousreversesplitternc: their rationale is that I work from my computer and phone and don't ever have to physically be present in an office
12:26 ThisIsAGoodUsername: @nota999 that's literally it. Not your problem. Not a single employer will look out for you the way you're looking out for them, and you've already gone above and beyond offering to help, which you do not need to do.
12:26 nervousreversesplitternc: but still
