WL as well. Expecting a rejection, so neat, I think. I've deposited at Stanford, and they were incredibly generous with aid, so I think I'll stay here until maybe July or so. Good luck to all.

PS -

Yale Hunger Games.

Both words are adjectives:

Continuing = "1. That continues (in various senses of the verb); abiding, lasting; persistent, persevering."
Continued = "a. Carried on or kept up without cessation; continual, constant."

They both seem to work.

About the only thing you can only add that really swings the pendulum is that you will absolutely attend if admitted--after all, they are just trying to fill the class at this point. But then again, 81% of the people in this forum will put that they will absolutely attend if admitted...

Otherwise, you can add any new grades/awards, but moving from a 3.88 GPA last fall to a 3.89 isn't going to have them turning over tables to admit you.

Thank God we found out before Gmail imploded this morning.

Just called, and FWIW, the admissions guy said that it doesn't matter when we send in the WL forms. A couple weeks from now is fine.

I'm withdrawing shortly and deferring my spot at HLS to finish my diss. Good luck to everyone who is going to ride it out!

hey all, i'm trying to figure out how waitlist decisions are made at yale. i know that asha reads through the apps initially and they then go through faculty readings/rankings, but then what? does our status really mean that we just missed the cut in terms of faculty ranking? are other admissions officers not involved?

in other news, i keep flipping from elated to depressed to elated to depressed to...yeah...

I just have to say... I absolutely love Yale for looking long and hard at me as an applicant. Regardless of what happens next, I like Yale.

btw, are any of you planning to visit while on the WL?

Is anyone on the WL doing something other than sending the WL form to opt in?

I want to but I'm scared it will just make a rejection hurt more and not do anything to help my chances.

I feel you on that.

My parents are coming out for my UG graduation in early May and want to see my future law school... I couldn't possibly...

Ohh, what other schools are you considering? Also, double congrats for being WL as an undergrad.

Thanks! Looking at a number of schools, I'm really hoping either Penn or Yale will work out (WL'ed at both). I'm nontrad, spent some years working full-time btwn starting and finishing ugrad, so that might have something to do with it.

kinda interesting discussion i had with my school's president....he went to HLS and was on law review there at the same time John Roberts was there, he's friends with him..anywhoo, he got into Yale as well and chose HLS obviously and so he told me.



his advice is interesting, never really had it framed that way so far

where does stanford fit? disclaimer: not in at hls or yls

he mentioned it as an afterthought...kinda like..."also, stanford is a really good school"..then i told him i didnt apply there..and that was that

just stopped by to say this made me laugh so hard.

why?

i imagined the guy in your avi as the speaker plus in my scenario he was annoyed that Stanford was being included with HY

thats my prez! and no, i wasnt one of those occupy people..i am in the crowd though

ha, it's depressing to realize the degree to which stanford lags behind hy in terms of prestige. i'm THRILLED with my sls acceptance, but wish the school got more recognition. why didn't u apply to sls?

see lsn profile in stats...left hand side, kinda toward the end

Thanks! Also, your lsn profile is one of the best I've seen. I'm sure future applicants will appreciate it.

Checking in.

How quickly do you think one can wait to send in a LOCI? My graduation is in a month and so I won't know if I've received any major awards until then. Would it be advisable to wait until I have something substantive to say/update them on?
