you know what i'll see if i can find what my email said lol

20:31

you could probably leave the sentence before regardless of aid as your starting sentence

trees1234567

20:32

but would agree with William that the rest is fluff they don't really care for

TruthTheX

20:32

And, and I'm sorry to be beating a dead horse, does anyone think it's "too soon" to be following up?

trees1234567

20:32

better to be clear and direct than leave them guessing

WilliamNot

20:32

"I'd like to start by thanking you again for both the interview and spot on the waitlist. After some consideration I have decided that Georgetown is my top pick and I would commit to attending if admitted regardless of possible scholarship. In particular, no other school I am interested in has what Georgetown has with Curriculum B. I like history and I minored in philosophy, plus I feel that context is an important and often lacking aspect of legal education, so this curriculum sounds fantastic. GULC is also unique in class size, and I believe that more students means a higher chance of high quality connections than any other school. Add in the numerous clinics and programs I mentioned in my "Interest in Georgetown" essay, and there is truly nowhere I would rather be. Thank you for your consideration."

In the above letter I was so excited to talk about all the things I look forward to potentially taking part in that I wanted to make sure my position is fully clarified. Regardless of aid, I would withdraw from all other institutions and agree to a binding deposit should I be fortunate enough to receive an offer of admission.

WilliamNot

20:33

that was the whole thing, and was my second LOCI, a third LOCI a week later really will be ok

WilliamNot

20:33

and i received the A exactly 7 days after that email

TruthTheX

20:35

And it doesn't seem desperate or unprofessional to email them? My brother is screaming at me that it is a bad idea

WilliamNot

20:37

Nope it's what you do. I wouldn't email them again after this, but that's more because you have nothing to add. there's 3 tiers of LOCI 1: I won't get off the WL 2: I'd go if you said yes 3: I'd go rn no matter what for no money

WilliamNot

20:38

youve gotten to tier 2, getting to tier 3 in their files is a notable and valuable step. It will be noticed and viewed positively, exclusively positively. 7sage and any other advising website will agree

TruthTheX

20:38

Makes sense. So then I no longer need to ask my supervisor for the LoR I would just follow up in a month or so like, "hello I am still interested and I have moved. Here is my new address" and then again in August I guess like "hello still interested"

TruthTheX

20:39

Purely logistical updates basically

WilliamNot

20:42

yep you're on it, if you want to toss the LOR in one of those future ones it'd be nice. But rn I think the timing is more important with the deposit deadline. Get in there before other people do basically

WilliamNot

20:43

they'll start changing other WL's into A's, and the spots will decrease, whereas rn they have maybe as many as they'll get, and then maybe more open up after the second deadline but def fewer

TruthTheX

20:43

I hope you don't mind I am basically just gonna say what you said word for word

TruthTheX

20:44

They sent an email as an update last week and in it it said to reply directly with any updates and also mentioned limited merit scholarships so I'mma reply and say just this: "In my previous letter, I was so excited to talk about all the things I look forward to potentially taking part in that I wanted to make sure my position is fully clarified: Georgetown is my top pick and I would commit to attending if admitted regardless of possible scholarships. There is nowhere I would rather be. Thank you for your continued effort to keep us updated."

So how long does it take for schools to get updated LSAT scores?

TruthTheX

20:45

Should be released to them the minute it is released to you unless you have preview, at which point it is released once the preview is up (however long that is I think a week)

WilliamNot

20:46

my LOCI is nothing special, the specific wording probably matters very little as long as it is very clear that you will go over any school regardless of money. Yours does that, anything else is just seasoning

TruthTheX

20:47

Yeah I just think yours is less wordy. I have a bad habit of making word salad. Great for philosophy debates, not great for law school emails

WilliamNot

20:48

being concise is what you'll learn next year lol

WilliamNot

20:49

are you interested in curriculum B as well?

TruthTheX

20:50

Yes, very much so. My main interests are the classes taught by Professor Mark Jia on China and authoritarian regimes, the legistlative clinic, and the ethics journal outside of curriculum B

TruthTheX

20:51

My interest in law is definitely more focused on government type work or the academic more abstract side. I'm not looking to really be a "lawyer" in the whole work in a firm, litigate, etc. sense. Also I am running low on messages if you're okay with swapping over to off topic

WilliamNot

20:52

sounds good
