Agree that in retrospect the binder was pretty cool. But not gonna lie I was opening that package fully expecting to find the snuggie in there too, so my immediate reaction was jaded disappointment haha.

Lol same. I got the package on a particularly frigid day, so I was ready to be all up in that. There's still a chance it'll come later, right?jetsfan1 wrote:Agree that in retrospect the binder was pretty cool.

For my class, snuggies sometimes came substantially later. I wouldn't worry.GrayGamut wrote:Lol same. I got the package on a particularly frigid day, so I was ready to be all up in that.

I think your definition of "super great insight" needs to be adjusted...omegaweapon wrote:If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me. I don't have any super great insight into anything, but I can help with basic stuff.

Yeah, my snuggie came in like mid-April, though I got my acceptance packet late Januaryish. I wouldn't worry at all.omegaweapon wrote:For my class, snuggies sometimes came substantially later.

Re: Yale Law School Class of 2019
Hi all! I am looking forward to meeting you guys at the ASP in April. I got my PhD from Yale last year, so I lived in New Haven for 5 years. I am sure you will get a lot of your NH questions answered at ASP, but feel free to PM with any questions that you may have in the meantime. I know New Haven doesn't have the best reputation, but I really enjoyed living there and am happy to give tips on where to live, things to do, etc. One thing to keep in mind is that New Haven has a pretty big shortage of good housing, meaning that unlike many markets, you have to look pretty far in advance to find an apartment (so for example, if you wanted a place starting August 1, you should start looking around May or June).
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Re: Yale Law School Class of 2019
Hey all! Does anyone know what the rules are for filling out financial aid forms if I'm planning on requesting a deferral? I imagine I will have to fill them out again next year if they grant my request, is there any need/benefit to also filling them out now?
Also, if I request to defer too soon is it possible I won't get a snuggie??

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
