9:27

I just went under review 10 minutes ago... i applied in december lmao, I already committed to another school haha
i doubt im getting in but good to know they arent completely ignoring me. Gives weight to the stance they were median hunting and giving the low 160s a shot after they looked at their retention numbers
19:50
They told me today there’s no timeline for WL’s, seems to be ASAP to throughout the summer
@Semi: us you get the WL A what are you going to do?
10:17
If it’s within the next week I’ll accept it, after that I’ll probably have to pass because I need to start looking for housing

did yall see that someone on reddit got an email that a decision was rendered? maybe more decisions will come soon?
@ColorfulThickBullfrog: dude it took 4 months for me to go UR, they clearly are median hunting look at the disparity 50 and 75th are 1 point apart but the 25th is a 159. They sent all the high achievers $$$ and were waiting for retention before they look at us. Im assuming youre around a 160? They did not respond to my email either lol
im really upset i didnt majorin lesbian dance theory. i could have just taken the Patent bar equirements as electives, i did the entire Biology curriculum when i could have done adult daycare with communications majors and had a much higher GPA. Oh well, live and learn.

Reddit is reporting a few rejections within the last hour

@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: the stuff you are complaining about were things that were totally in your control. Your GPA is a reflection of the major you choose and work you have put in.
19:58
Instead of raging about how other people have higher GPAs than you, you could have studied for the LSAT and balanced out your GPA.
@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: I did english which wasn't too difficult, but if I could go back I would have taken easier electives for free A's because I originally thought the school was gonna actually care about the rigor of my electives, but they just want to see a high number -.-
