16:04 futurelawyer556: are we allowed to call schools that have ghosted us and demand an update? lol
16:04 ProductiveMysteriousEchidna: they'll make it to 2k
16:04 DodoBird: Do all of you gurus on this chat gurus on this chat think there’s ANY chance NYU doles out more decisions over the weekend since it’s so down to the wire? Or is that concept completely delusional to even entertain...
16:04 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: @futurelawyer556: "demand" is a strong word
16:04 DropoutBear: 100 people have already deposited or are Deferrals from last year
16:04 PierPissolini: I just need a Berk response before I tell UCLA Im 100% in
16:04 DropoutBear: I expect nothing from Berk
16:04 PierPissolini: Same
16:05 DropoutBear: Isn’t the UCLA deadline today
16:05 PierPissolini: Im WL
16:05 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: was yesterday
16:05 ThePeripatetic: it was yesterday...
16:05 pettyboi: thats gotta be illegal right?
16:05 spiraljetty: I predict big waves today lol
16:05 spiraljetty: how terrible would that be
16:05 futurelawyer556: hahah well obviously I would fluff up the language and plead for a decision
16:05 pettyboi: i mean for a school to legit not give any decision
16:05 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: @DodoBird: my guess is that there won't be big movement over the weekend. reason: nyu's class is almost full. they may pull a Vandy and WL everyone from their HTE's on D-Day
16:06 PrimDoubloon: alright michigan was right on schedule, anyone have any predictions for GW or BU?
16:06 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: Dean andy told me some TEA on GULC yesterday during my interview
16:06 nota999: Oh?
16:06 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: literally said when the A waves would be
16:06 PierPissolini: Spill, sis
16:06 Woodstock888: wht
16:06 Woodstock888: what did dean andy say
16:06 GridNorth8: How did your interview go??
16:06 LetMeInPlease: spare unc prediction you fortune teller?
16:06 UghSad: Dean Andy has lied about response times b4 tho
16:07 MysteriousSableHornet: WHERE THE **** IS VANDY
16:07 nota999: @MysteriousSableHornet: Nashville
16:07 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: one's coming next tuesday and wednesday, then there's gonna be a general waitlist informational session that people have already been getting invites to, then the next wave he said would be may 4-6 after the deposit deadline dust settles
16:07 PierPissolini: Odds Berk shows up to put me out of my misery this afternoon
16:07 IndustriousStrangeImpala: @LetMeInPlease: what do you mean??
16:08 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: specifically said that GULC was under-admitting
16:08 ThePeripatetic: @PierPissolini: have they even UR2ed you yet? I'm still on UR1 1/11
16:08 spiraljetty: UNC seems like Wedensday
16:08 ThePeripatetic: idk why they just disappeared
16:08 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: @PierPissolini: I've heard Berk R's come in the mornings
16:08 spiraljetty: I know nothing about UNC
16:08 PierPissolini: @ThePeripatetic: Nope, but I've given up
16:08 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: which is supported anecdotally by the timing of my R
16:08 LetMeInPlease: I just meant if were predicting waves to predict unc for me hahaha
16:08 DodoBird: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: *sigh* that’s what I thought too but have reached the stage of hoping for literally any news, even if it’s bad. Does no HTE email mean I’m even more doomed, you think?
16:08 PierPissolini: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: good to know, I'll just never wake up before 12 so they cant get me
16:08 ThePeripatetic: @PierPissolini: right there with ya
16:08 TheoCrain: damn who predicted this michigan WL
16:08 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: when did you app dodo
16:09 spiraljetty: You're in!
16:09 reversereverse2024: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: Did Gtown request an interview with you
16:09 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: yes
16:09 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: off wl
16:09 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: my interview was all spwl folks he said
16:09 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: actually not entirely true. 6 spwl and 1 rd
16:10 reversereverse2024: Am I doomed if I have not gotten an interview but am on the PWL
16:10 JealousImportedBEAR: I know michigan is not adding more people to the waitlist right noq
16:10 JealousImportedBEAR: now
16:10 reversereverse2024: not even an alumni one
16:10 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: @reversereverse2024: when did you apply
16:10 reversereverse2024: early Feb
16:10 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: you got time reverse
16:10 reversereverse2024: would it be weird if I reached out asking for an alumni one
16:11 DodoBird: Right under the wire unfortunately, and I’m drowning in wait list purgatory, but holding out for NYU as I prepare to put down a deposit at GULC. I went UR2 at NYU on 4/9
16:11 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: @reversereverse2024: i'd advise against asking for one tbh
16:11 RocketshipWave: lol at Mich adding more to the WL
16:11 JGWentworth: and with michigan waitlist my t14 dreams die
16:11 JGWentworth: sadge
16:11 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: mich's waitlist is just a meme at this point
16:11 PierPissolini: I remember when I thought Sarah Zearfoss was chill
16:11 reversereverse2024: thank you, I needed someone to tell me that
16:11 NonstopNervousMagpie: LOL sane
16:11 NonstopNervousMagpie: same'
16:11 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: you could say that Dean Z's waitlist is "insane and unhinged"
16:12 LSHopeful2021: RT
16:12 PierPissolini: RT
16:12 dkh2020: RT
16:12 NonstopNervousMagpie: RT
16:12 PierPissolini: I hope she sees this
16:12 NonstopNervousMagpie: what if shes one of us
16:12 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: STOP THE COUNT!
16:12 PierPissolini: I would not put it past her
16:12 NonstopNervousMagpie: the only way to describe that waitlist is unhinged
16:13 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: i mean GULC's three-tier mega-butt**** waitlist is the same way
16:13 NonstopNervousMagpie: DEFFF
16:13 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: not only is there a WL, but you're reminded that there's a WL above you, and a *spicy* WL above them
16:13 JealousImportedBEAR: unhinged for sure
16:13 PierPissolini: If I weren't so desperate, I'd withdraw out of spite
16:13 HarshDynamicBoar: what is their stated reason for having such a massive WL
16:13 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: they under-admitted
16:13 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: per dean andy
16:14 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: also i feel like they're gonna have abnormal wl movement this year
16:14 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: as they fall out of the t14
16:14 JealousImportedBEAR: GULC is much larger class than michigan though so technically their WL is actually less unhinged than mich
16:14 nota999: Dean Andy also said in an admitted students event that part of the reason for the big WL is that there's just a shit ton more qualified applicants this year than seats
16:14 myfriendsarevictorious: Is it disco time yet
16:15 nota999: so they don't necessarily want to reject folks they think could succeed and do well, but there's not enough room to give everyone who deserves one an A
16:15 PierPissolini: Idk if we deserve a disco this afternoon
16:15 HarshDynamicBoar: i meant mich not gulc-- does the same thing apply?
16:15 Tiger: oh hey i already have full Vault access with my school email, kinda lit
16:15 PierPissolini: @nota999: thats like what all of my WL emails say
16:15 myfriendsarevictorious: We might not deserve it but we kinda need it
16:15 nota999: @HarshDynamicBoar: I mean, massively increased applications across the board would suggest as much
16:15 PierPissolini: @myfriendsarevictorious: big facts
16:15 nota999: at least to some degree
16:15 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: wl =soft r unless explicitly noted otherwise
16:16 PierPissolini: Big facts
16:16 HarshDynamicBoar: ok but why arent all schools doing that? just wondering if there's a stated reason for some schools overutilizing WL over others
16:16 LikeGrievingKoala: UVA's wording on their waitlist was interesting
16:16 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: what did they say? didn't apply
16:16 PierPissolini: @LikeGrievingKoala: what stuck out to you?
16:16 IndustriousStrangeImpala: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: so you think that goes for most place??
16:16 PierPissolini: It seemed sweeter than most tbh
16:16 IndustriousStrangeImpala: Places
16:16 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: I do, especially the t14
16:16 LikeGrievingKoala: A few things actually:
16:16 SlightlyFearlessQuokka: i was just denied at asu??? they literally accepted every soul with my lsat???
16:16 LikeGrievingKoala: " believe that you would excel at Virginia Law and we hope to be able to offer you admission. We will do our best to have a final decision for you as soon as possible. "
16:17 LikeGrievingKoala: ^ nice of them to say, i hope they offer me admission
16:17 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: my belief is that there are probably 4 waitlists in the T14 that will be particularly volatile but otherwise i wouldn't count on it
16:17 LikeGrievingKoala: but also this
16:17 RocketshipWave: I really think sometimes it's better to R somebody than WL them, even if schools are trying to be "nice" to us
16:17 LikeGrievingKoala: "Please know we consider the waitlist an integral part of our admissions process. We expect to make a number of offers of admission to wait-listed candidates during May, June, and July. "
16:17 IndustriousStrangeImpala: I want George Mason bad
16:17 PierPissolini: @LikeGrievingKoala: I recall, it seemed similar to the message of other t14s but it was just overall nicer?
16:17 Lolgivingthisashot: W this Mich WL, My cycle is almost over, i just need Duke to put me put of my misery
16:17 Volatilecrocodile: WL’s feel so indecisive. Like just make up your mind and R me
16:18 LikeGrievingKoala: @PierPissolini: UCLA just hit harder because it was my first response. Columbia's was fancy, but similar.
16:18 DodoBird: I almost wept tears of joy reading BK’s WL email explaining that they’ll send quartile rankings in May - would SO much rather know where I stand at least SOMEWHAT
16:18 SlightlyFearlessQuokka: i know everyone shits on asu but like ???
16:18 PierPissolini: @LikeGrievingKoala: UCLA hit hard for me bc although it wasnt promised I sure as hell wasnt expecting it
16:19 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: I personally think the least volatile WL's this cycle inside the t14 will be CLS, NYU, and Mich
16:19 TheoCrain: pier I have to believe As are coming your way for the rest of your schools lol
16:19 TheoCrain: yours numbers are so solid
16:19 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: the most volatile imo will be UCLA, GULC (counting them even though they're 15), and Northwestern
16:19 PierPissolini: Hhaha thank you, I'm hoping they look as good next october :P
16:20 PierPissolini: I have a friend who got WL UCLA last year and is now crushing it there, so we have hope
16:20 TenuousProbableCougar: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: why do you think Northwestern will havev movement?
16:20 PierPissolini: Im thinking UVA might also have movement since their email noted that theyve had years where 20% of the class came from WL
16:21 DevilishSkillfulBracke: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: why will gulcs be so volatile?
16:21 aheldma: Pier why would you withdraw your only acceptance?
16:21 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: So far their waitlist is large, and according to a bit of data-stalking a great amount of their admits so far have options inside the T6.
16:21 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: @DevilishSkillfulBracke: I believe that their falling in ranking + under-admission explicitly stated by Dean Andy will drive their WL usage up uncharacteristically
16:21 PierPissolini: Good, good, let the withdrawals flow through you
16:21 DevilishSkillfulBracke: So youre saying there will be a lot of waitlist movement or not a lot?
16:21 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: for GULC i believe there will be a good amount
16:22 DevilishSkillfulBracke: cool, thanks
16:22 Lolgivingthisashot: Anyone else having trouble w the Mich WL form?
16:22 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: if anything the process of interviewing WL applicants before deposits are due is evidence enough
16:22 DevilishSkillfulBracke: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: there's a special place in my heart for people that keep the hope alive so thanks lol
16:23 abenz2013: I’m still waiting to hear anything from NU (applied 2/10), so I honestly don’t even know what to think at this point.
16:23 PierPissolini: Gonna invite all of my friends over for a conciliation dinner instead of the celebration I had planned
16:24 RocketshipWave: I really need to do my NU Kira
16:24 RocketshipWave: How is their aid off WL?
16:24 DevilishSkillfulBracke: @PierPissolini: remember when you got your 172 and you felt so excited and like the world was your oyster?....I do :( lmao.
16:24 PierPissolini: Bro I literally did a tiger woods fist pump
16:24 DevilishSkillfulBracke: same!
16:24 DevilishSkillfulBracke: and here we are. in wl hell
16:25 PierPissolini: I was so sweet and naive
16:25 DevilishSkillfulBracke: i know!
16:25 DevilishSkillfulBracke: so full of hope
16:25 DevilishSkillfulBracke: i had no clue.
16:25 PierPissolini: I lowkey want more WL just so I can say I hit double digits
16:25 DevilishSkillfulBracke: hahahahaha
16:25 DevilishSkillfulBracke: I can give you mine from UNC
16:25 LikeGrievingKoala: >170 will be fine they said
16:26 PierPissolini: I'll take what I can get for sure
16:26 Law101: so I guess those of us <170 should just forget about it lol
16:26 JGWentworth: would one be insane to register for the june flex to try to get off WLs
16:26 DevilishSkillfulBracke: oh man I remember when I was told >170 meant SCHOLLYS
16:26 DevilishSkillfulBracke: JG, depends ya score
16:27 TheoCrain: @JGWentworth: will potentially be me
16:27 PierPissolini: My hopes have gone from, "Ive got a pretty good shot at NYU," to, "hopefully I can get into a lower t14," and now finally we're at, "gee, wont it be silly when I get locked out of t20"
16:27 DevilishSkillfulBracke: OMG YES
16:27 ProductiveMysteriousEchidna: It'll work out, Pier
16:27 Law101: who knows what NYU looks for anymore
16:27 PierPissolini: @ProductiveMysteriousEchidna: thank u, my liege
16:27 PierPissolini: @Law101: its not alums :/
16:27 Law101: oh damn
16:28 Law101: you are an alum
16:28 Law101: that hurts more
16:28 PierPissolini: Deadass
16:28 DevilishSkillfulBracke: yes. looking at you UNC
16:28 PierPissolini: Maybe should have been more well behaved in dorm life
16:28 ProductiveMysteriousEchidna: reefer?
16:28 DevilishSkillfulBracke: lolz
16:28 DevilishSkillfulBracke: true
16:29 DevilishSkillfulBracke: true
16:29 PierPissolini: @ProductiveMysteriousEchidna: u know it ;)
16:29 Law101: maybe they pick names out of a hat and yours didnt come up
16:29 PierPissolini: Or maybe its because I told their undergrad donation drive to stop calling me
16:29 LikeGrievingKoala: well behaved lawyers rarely make history, or something like that
16:29 DevilishSkillfulBracke: hahaha
16:30 DodoBird: I live two blocks away from NYU law and have literally altered my running route to avoid passing it and having small panic attacks 🤦🏻‍♀️
16:30 PierPissolini: I cannot imagine running in the village, more power to u
16:30 Law101: I am pretty sure they are not even in offices now
16:30 LikeGrievingKoala: @DodoBird: have you considered altering your run route and bringing a sign inquiring about our apps?
16:30 JuicemanOJ: another week down and still no decisions from either of my school s
16:30 JuicemanOJ: WTF
16:30 JuicemanOJ: going on 10 weeks now
16:31 DodoBird: @LikeGrievingKoala: honestly, I’ve considered setting up a small shrine outside the front door and bringing sacrifices to it daily because...it can’t hurt, right...?
16:32 CorporateCatastrophe: @LikeGrievingKoala: good lord this cycle is absolutely absurd. Oh my god
