@GloveDontSplitUMustAcquit: yes 15/15 alas: i mean i dont think they'd just say it to say it. I think they likely go to those applicants first. 15/15

im getting this by pulling it out of my ass and sprinkling vibes on it but i would bet it's to encourage you to stay on the waitlist by being like "youre on the special one"

@alas: sometimes they pull from all aWLs equally sometimes they take half from special

It is the peacock reserve lol like “i mayyyyy go on a date with you later and you should know it is very likely, just gotta go and see if Ronaldo is here first” lol

My guess is that they’re doing what GULC does and using the waitlist tier to entice the candidates they’re most worried about withdrawing

@Mountaineer99: It's probably NYU, not CLS. I have a hard time keeping them straight.
CTCSH

Or it could be a psyop lol like “this will make em stick around til august when we reallyyyy need to fill 20 spots from yield projection failures” lol

but i remember someone saying that usually they try to maintain whatever percentage of whatever type of applicant in their class that they want. like if they want x amount of PI focused applicants theyll look for that first regardless of if theyre on the special or regular, or for a certain LSAT/GPA median, age/level of WE, etc

people who want big law? what were your essays like? genuinely no hate, but i don't know how i would write one of those. Like im passionate about mergers and acquisitions.. lol. but forreal, i'm jw
manifestT14acceptances
15:54
at the risk of sounding like an incel i can assure you that is painfully untrue lmao
Mountaineer99
15:55
@crybaby2024: i imagine stressing the intellectual challenges associated with that kind of practice over the ends
Mountaineer99
15:55
i'm not one of them though

15:56
i made a PI-focused application but i imagine being like "i like tough challenging jobs and working hard and i appreciate the law and helping the world run smoothly"
SeanStrickland2024

I just lied lmao @crybaby2024:

Crybaby2024 message me next year and i show u mine lol
crybaby2024
15:57
like that's what i think i would do if i wanted big law. Just cuz its so much easier to write a compelling i wanna save the world essay than like "i love helping the economy and the poor marginalized 1%" lol
manifestT14acceptances
15:57
i can also imagine it reads like a business school application
SeanStrickland2024
15:58
Lmao yep I said I wanna help people, in reality I just want money

like "this is what im good at so i want to do it"

everyone wants PI on their law school application
UnwrittenOssifiedRoadrunner
15:58
But if you can write a good "here's why I think securities regulation is important and I want to learn about it" you'll stand out against all the "I want to be an international human rights lawyer"
babybunny
15:58
cuz it makes you sound like a “good person”

has any school ever calculated what % of applicants come in wanting to do PI vs what % of alumni end up in PI 5 years out of law school
SeanStrickland2024
15:59
I know it’s like 60 percent at nyu do bl and most probs say pi goin in

Does Columbia typically release all of their waitlists at once?
