I may have audibly laughed when a girl said she was from Hyde park (in a British accent.)

So to get the $$ reconsideration form we have to request it right? I'm wondering if I should send my "ask" in that email or if I should save it for the email that submits the form.

What does the form say? Is is just "list your other offers plz."?

That's a weird takeaway from the numbers. Isn't it just as accurate to say "drop in employment numbers still keeps Chi 4%+ above Stanford in biglaw+clerkship numbers :D :D :D "?

It's not a weird takeaway when Duke is much cheaper...

Has anyone heard back re: scholarship reconsideration? I know at ASW they said they would just start considering requests this monday. I have scholarship deadlines coming within the next week and I am not trying to give ~1000 dollars away to other schools just to preserve my options.

Try asking for deposit extensions if you haven't already

Hey all! Congrats on your admits :-) I'll be posting this on your 2020 admitted students/ class of 2020 fb page too, but some of you are early birds so I thought I'd mention it here also:

I'm a 2L/soon to be 3L; my partner and I just bought a really nice condo a couple blocks from the law school, and we're renting out the bedrooms to law students. If your personality is that you wanna live with most of your class, the Regents/Shoreland thing is a great first year option; if you're a bit more low key and want to be super close to the school in a nice place with just a few people, shoot me a pm.

Here are some details:

About me: I'm an active 2L; on the board of ACS, OUTlaw, and If/Wheb/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice. I'm heading to litigation at a big Chicago firm; my partner works in consulting downtown.

The rooms are furnished; it's a 2-floor big condo. Full access to everything including kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms etc; 3 bathrooms so you'll have it pretty private/no waiting for showering and such. I have some gated parking available (we don't use a car so we're happy to rent our spot).

Anyways, price range is $600-$900 depending on which room you want (they vary in size pretty significantly). Utilities will all just be split by the number of people living there. Lastly, personality-wise, people who tend to like a cleaner space are a really good fit here; we're not perfect, but we like to keep the common areas really nice.

PM me if interested and I'll be happy to send you pictures; also happy to chat, and also answer any general LA questions you might have.

Congrats and welcome!
