Did anyone else get a cryptic email today asking you to confirm that you whether or not you will attend UGA Law next year?

I heard that "more people than expected" paid the (tiny) $50 seat deposit. What this means, however, remains a bit of a mystery to me.

Got it, filled it out, it took 2 seconds. I don't think there was anything cryptic about it at all.

I assume what you mean by 'cryptic' is, "how are they going to use this information and why do they want it?"

at least, that was my reaction. is putting "considering" going to make them question me, should I put attend even tho im not sure etc. haha, just my mind playing tricks on me i suppose, i think its just an attempt to weed people out. I'm basically leaning towards, waiting until next year or Georgia, so I hope that that form is not relied on too much by the admissions committee going forward.

That is what I meant by 'cryptic'. Filling it out was simple; however, if this is an attempt to "weed people out", it seems to me about as effective as the (tiny) seat deposit.

This suggests a further question; namely, supposing that UGA Law received responses from more people than it expected (wanted?), how bad is this for the school? No doubt the first year sections are a bit larger, but unless they promised more scholarship money than they actually possess, I don't really see how having a large(r) class is a negative. Any thoughts?

i didn't get this letter, i already paid the second seat deposit so i'm wondering if they just sent them out to those who paid $50

This is pretty much the impression I got when I visited. They implied that they were a bit frustrated with everyone that put in the first deposit because they know very well that so many people are putting in two deposits this year.

I heard elsewhere that the LSAC was going to release lists of who does double deposits at the second deadline tho, but im not sure how that would work as different schools have different dates.

So how many people put second seat deposits in at UGA? How is it looking for those on the waitlist? Keeping my fingers crossed... :)
