High five for not giving a shit! Good luck with the rest if your cycle though.

No worries, Berkeley. I'm not huge on hippies and insane rent anyways.

Penn you are not even the best big ten law school.

Exactly

Michigan rejects me through the status checker...tells me that they'll send me a letter via snail mail. Now Michigan...we both know that is very unnecessary.

Woosh.

In this thread we retaliate by protesting what made XXX school somewhat suspect to begin with, and we're glad our decision was made that much easier by taking that ridiculous option off the table.

In fact, we didn't really care enough to try that hard. If we had sent version 4B from our personal statement library we definitely would have gotten in but who cares, I don't even care.

I'll start: Berkeley. Ding date: 01/14/10

Umm, I don't want to listen to global warming propaganda for three years anyway. I eat red meat. Back off peta, your toyota prius is burning dead animals too. Earthquakes. Too liberal. Volatile economy. Hippies. Whatever.

lol'd. Made me feel better.

[Mr_Chukes]

Got my first rejection and I feel great lol. Cornell, aint nobody trying to live in Shithaca anyways lol.

[SNightHighlights]

Eyyy, rejected from Berkeley and Cornell in the same week. New York is just a dirtier shittier Chicago, and I hear Berkeley has a homeless problem but you can't tell the difference between the students and actual homeless people.

What kind of name is GULC anyway?


I hope there's always snow on your driveway
I hope you never got off Fridays
And you work at a Friday's that's always busy on Fridays
I hope you win the lottery and lose your ticket
I hope it's Ben and Socrates poop all up in your kitchen
I hope the zipper on your jacket get stuck
And your headphones short, and your charger dont work
And I hope you spill shit on your shirt...

Shit

Dear Berkeley,

After thoroughly reviewing your rejection letter, I have decided, with regret, to vote for Donald J. Trump in the 2020 US Presidential Elections.

My decision was not easy. The majority of the candidates are well-qualified to oversee the presidency of the United States, and indeed many of them will run as candidates in 2020. But with more than 20 candidates competing for my vote, my choice must be highly selective. Although my review process is thorough, it is also human, fallible, and in part subjective.

You are to be congratulated for establishing such an esteemed law school and I hope that you will continue to be permitted to operate in the United States during Herr Trump's Fourth Reich. If America remains your first choice, you may wish consider moving to Texas and re-branding yourself as a Conservative school. That way you will no longer rip the hearts out of all the liberal applicants in the world. Or you can send us all acceptance letters. Either will do.

Sincerely,
One extreme salty liberal/hippie
Definitely not Ted Cruz

Absolutely, unequivocally, satire sir/ma'am.

Dinged from W+M. Kinda knew I wasn't getting ED but wasn't expecting them to outright reject me(because I thought I had a real chance at RD). Also got denied at Michigan two weeks ago but didn't bother posting about that because I'd think that was obvious.

George Washington, I forgot I even applied to you. Take that.

Did you really want to be THAT close to the White House right now? haha

Dear California,
I’m sorry, but it’s over between us. These last four years living with you have been great! I’ve wanted to be with you since I first laid eyes on you – when I was 6 at Disneyland. Sure, when I was in high school I may have made fun of you with all the other kids in the PNW (who uses umbrellas? lol). But that was just because I didn’t know how to express my affection. The fact is that I love you. I’ve always defended you to all my conservative friends when they call you the Communist Republic of California because they can’t buy high-capacity magazines here (how the heck is a Cali lone wolf pup supposed to pull off a decent double-digit school shooting with these 10 round mags?! #freedom #LiburalsTakinMaLiburties).

So when I told you that my dream was to become a lawyer, I should have seen the doubt hidden inside that casual smile you flash so easily. You said you supported my journey – I even got a few fee waivers. But then the harsh reality set in. You dinged me at Berkeley and Stanford. USC is playing hard to get despite the fact that my spouse has two degrees from there and there is currently $1000 in Trojans memorabilia in my house. You W/L me at UCLA – telling me “it’s not you it’s me – probably just a YP.” We’ve both seen my LSDAS GPA; you know that’s not true. Honestly, I was a bit creeped out when you tried to set me up with UC Irvine. I’m sorry, but I’m almost 30. I’m too old to be hanging out with a 9-year old.

In case you’re wondering, yes, I’m seeing someone else. Its name is Charlotte(sville). And it gets me. It respects my LSAT score and 5 years of work experience. Sure, its founder owned slaves and its students once participated in an organized attempt to violently overthrow the United States government resulting in the death of 2.5% of the country’s population. But that was years ago. Charlotte(sville) is willing to overlook my >25% GPA so I can overlook its history too. And let’s be real, it was never going to work out between us. Berkeley? How am I supposed to study when anarchists are torching police cars outside the library? Stanford? Where am I going to get a job – as some Silicon Valley asexual libertarian Trump technocollaborator’s in-house? UCLA? On second thought, I’d rather not put my child in daycare in a city where Jenny McCarthy is a more trusted source of medical advice than the surgeon general.

So though we will no longer be together, I will always remember the good times and especially the good Mexican food.

Love,
AdieuCali

I would ask who hurt you, but it's obvious that it was the entire state of California
