The gaybie invasion of the Cubbyhole is real, but yeah. I, too, am letting LS sorta help me claw my way out of NYC.

Those margaritas...
Wow I haven't been to Cubbyhole in so long...there are 0 lesbian bars in SF.

All I hear from that is "its time for us all to go and say goodbye" (assuming many of us are leaving for bigger, better, cheaper things :P

Where are you going? Congrats!

Getting tipsy on the $2 margs, then stumbling over to Stonewall for popcorn and M&Ms on Tuesdays is how I'm getting through this cycle. I finally escaped to NYC after the South, so you can't make me leave for anything less than another large city. I'm clinging to the shitshow I missed during my upbringing, dammit! :lol:

Not at all. I've heard back from 3 schools, I applied to at least 15. Also applied in early January. I want it to be over too - like can I just wake up in two months and know where I am going? Thanks! Lol.

Waiting on HYS but 95% sure I'll be at Michigan regardless.

Another member of the tribe (lol) checking in. Only applied to H/S/C/N. Might send out Y before month-end. An answer from at least ONE school would make me so much less anxious than I am now. I honestly can't think of a time I've so obsessively waited for an answer from a school. I applied in November but only started wigging out in the past few weeks as apps closed and people started getting acceptances. How are you guys holding up?

^^^same. For some reason Y's deadline being extended made me more anxious for no reason??? It has no impact on me, I'm just all nerves.

Right??? I thought it was kind of strange that they would send it back, since the defense of trans* restroom rights is generally through Title IX, not Obama's instructions to schools. Also--lack of protection means...discrimination? Pretty sure that logic wouldn't fly on the LSAT.

It indeed is strange, especially as you pointed out re Title IX.
Every day of this administration my desire to fight for civil rights intensifies, especially when they come after my little LGBTQ brothers/sisters/siblings.

Not that I know of.
We can apply to diversity 1L SA's though.

I'll keep that in mind. Is there a particular program for that or would it vary from school to school?
It would vary firm to firm, not school to school.
