Rooms: General Big mad Advice

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
16:32 Law101: or everyone can call their offices and then they will be forced to give it to us straight to stop the calls
16:33 CorporateCatastrophe: @PierPissolini: oh my god x2. I am so sorry
16:33 LikeGrievingKoala: @CorporateCatastrophe: common factor is @pier and I both applying "late" I guess?
16:34 CorporateCatastrophe: That's a good point. I just retook april and am applying 9/1. Its my only hope to try and beat this absurdity
16:34 CorporateCatastrophe: good god.
16:34 DodoBird: @Law101: I really respect you’re low-key but persistent commitment to trying to get every NYU applicant on this chat to start a call-in campaign
16:35 Law101: it just makes no sense why have a deadline if you have to apply early. Just tell everyone to submit it but September 1st and thats it
16:35 Law101: @DodoBird: thank you
16:35 RocketshipWave: NYU has 8,000 applicants this cycle—they can't stop all of us
16:36 Law101: 8,000? damn I did not know it was that many
16:36 LikeGrievingKoala: @CorporateCatastrophe: I knew I'd be at a disadvantage applying late, but didnt have much of a choice when the earliest LSAT I could do was january
16:37 Tiger: hey that was me too
16:37 LikeGrievingKoala: Doubly bad situation w/ my GF applying to mba programs. Hoping we both get in somewhere close
16:37 Law101: I wanted to apply earlier but had an even worse LSAT score
16:37 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: took the october one but was trying to finish up my undergrad, ended up hitting send in december/jan
16:37 Tiger: kinda wished i waited a cycle looking back
16:37 Law101: so had to retake
16:37 harrystylesismyking: @SlightlyFearlessQuokka: sorry quokka :(
16:37 harrystylesismyking: sending hugs
16:37 Law101: well I did not want to take a year off
16:37 Woodstock888: omg koala
16:37 Woodstock888: my bf is doing mba
16:37 Woodstock888: in the same boat as u
16:38 Woodstock888: @LikeGrievingKoala: ^
16:38 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: i guess a nice part about ucla so far is that you can apply to their JDMBA with your LSAT
16:38 CEOofImpostorSyndrome: and it's near-guaranteed admission after your 1L
16:38 LikeGrievingKoala: @CEOofImpostorSyndrome: iiiinteresting
16:38 Law101: I just wonder what my score would have been like if I took only the GRE
16:38 Law101: but alas
16:38 LikeGrievingKoala: My UG was in business, so not sure how much I'd want to do that but good toknow
16:38 Woodstock888: @Law101: did u take both GRE and LSAT?
16:38 dreamondonkeykong: is USC just done?
16:38 Law101: nope
16:39 Law101: I thought about it
16:39 SlightlyFearlessQuokka: @harrystylesismyking: omg im so upset bc i wanted to move closer to my parents,thank you so much for the hugs
16:39 Woodstock888: @Law101: i took a risk and only took GRE
16:39 Law101: but there were schools I wanted to apply to that didnt accept the GRE
16:39 SlightlyFearlessQuokka: im so confused bc they accepted anything with a pulse and my LSAT earlier on in the cycle??? but i guess i was too late :(
16:39 Law101: so I decided to stick to the LSAT
16:39 LikeGrievingKoala: @Woodstock888: unfortunately she didnt really apply to places just because I did, whereas I did that in some cases. Probably shouldve applied earlier to certain schools, but figured I'd do it based on deadlines. Dumb decision.
16:40 Woodstock888: @LikeGrievingKoala: oof i'm sorry to hear that. that's tough
16:40 harrystylesismyking: @SlightlyFearlessQuokka: do you have other As to fall back on?
16:40 Law101: @Woodstock888: it worked out really well for you
16:40 LikeGrievingKoala: GULC isn't worse case, but I sort of applied just because & she isnt applying to any DC schools sooo
16:42 Woodstock888: omg koala
16:42 Woodstock888: COME TO GULC WITH ME
16:42 SlightlyFearlessQuokka: @harrystylesismyking: i do, and the University of Arizona gave me a full ride, which i am EXTREMELY thankful for, but I felt a ton of pressure from my parents to go to ASU. They were so so disappointed when i told them about ASU because they're higher ranked, and i keep trying to tell them that rankings dont matter, employment outcomes do, but all they see are the US News rankings :(
16:42 Woodstock888: @Law101: i lucky ya
16:43 SlightlyFearlessQuokka: @harrystylesismyking: do you know where you are leaning towards right now?
16:43 harrystylesismyking: @SlightlyFearlessQuokka: oh im sorry :( it's so hard when your parents get involved with what they think vs. what you think and feel
16:44 harrystylesismyking: I deposited at LUC on wednesday, but I'm having a hard time between there and W&M. I have til May 1 to figure that one out
16:45 harrystylesismyking: i have undergrad debt so the LUC offer is really appealing
16:45 LikeGrievingKoala: @Woodstock888: currently thats the plan!
16:47 SafeTrashyBird: dumb question: if i retake lsat and do worse, can that impact where ive been accepted?
16:47 Woodstock888: @LikeGrievingKoala: omg yay!!!
16:47 Woodstock888: @LikeGrievingKoala: are u in the GULC discord?
16:48 GridNorth8: @SafeTrashyBird: No
16:48 LikeGrievingKoala: No, TBD I will probably look into that once I actually deposit
16:49 LikeGrievingKoala: need to figure out the merit scholarship stuff. Not sure what else to say besides "money please!"
16:51 Volatilecrocodile: @Woodstock888: is the GULC discord for those who have deposited or no? It’s my current top choice but I’m holding onto my pending statuses for another week so to see what happens
16:51 Volatilecrocodile: So I haven’t deposited yet
16:51 nota999: Don't forget to include "I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life."
16:51 nota999: @Volatilecrocodile: It's for admitted students, not necessarily folks who have committed
16:52 B6767: Anyone else wondering why there are fewer HLS acceptances on here than last year 🤔
16:52 lil-froggo: wowwwwwwww Michigan
16:52 Volatilecrocodile: @nota999: how can I join?
16:53 lil-froggo: "In other words, receiving this email means that you are someone whom we would be glad to have in our entering class, but to whom we cannot extend an offer at this time because of the risk that our class will be overenrolled"
16:53 lil-froggo: repeat for all schools
16:53 DodoBird: @LikeGrievingKoala: Can I hang out with you guys at GULC (I feel like the very desperate nerdy new kid in this chat...) My fiancé is also planning to apply for MBA but decided to hold off until next year to avoid the hot mess of having competing cities/applications
16:53 Woodstock888: @DodoBird: Yes!!
16:53 Volatilecrocodile: I really did not enjoy that line from UM. Better was “ Let me acknowledge that your reaction to being placed on the waitlist may well be disappointment, or possibly outright annoyance.”
16:54 Woodstock888: @Volatilecrocodile: i can dm you on discord
16:54 Woodstock888: @LikeGrievingKoala: okay!
16:54 lil-froggo: @Volatilecrocodile: I actually do appreciate it, because I think it's true
16:54 Volatilecrocodile: Okay I’m an imbecile at discord lol. What do you need in order to do that
16:54 lil-froggo: @Volatilecrocodile: same haha. idk how to work it
16:54 nota999: dm is just a private message. Woodstock is just saying she's gonna text you basically
16:55 Volatilecrocodile: @lil-froggo: I liked it a lot lol, it made me laugh a bit
16:55 Woodstock888: yeah here just join
16:55 Woodstock888: Woodstock#5838
16:55 Woodstock888: add me
16:55 Volatilecrocodile: Cool. Different name on discord than here, sorry!
16:55 Woodstock888: its ok just add me that's my tag thing
16:56 Woodstock888: DC peeps let's all hang out haha
16:56 nota999: That's the plan lol
16:56 HeartbreakingSpookyTarantula: All right, anyone have a wonderful LOCI they want to share?
16:56 lillawlady98: Why is American sending out so many waitlist. Especially after the deposit yesterday?
16:57 lil-froggo: deposits looking good
16:57 IndustriousStrangeImpala: @lil-froggo: ??
16:58 lil-froggo: i mean at american, probably
16:58 IndustriousStrangeImpala: @lillawlady98: my guess is their deposits filled
16:58 IndustriousStrangeImpala: Oh yeah
16:58 lil-froggo: all schools full
