Admit calls from Asha in October are always welcomeKissMyAxe wrote:Hey guys,
I'm the deferred admit from last year that posted on the front page. This thread is really dead, isn't it? I take it that no one's heard anything thus far?

Anyone else sitting around with a complete application but can't seem to submit? My commitment issues are showing.

Totally feel you - waiting for LORs is the worst. Brings out my control issues. Man, this process is fun.sanibella wrote:No, I wish. Waiting for LOR to be uploaded. That darn snail mail.

Well, is there any chance at all that, ten years down the line, you'll regret not sending in an app?

I like this line of thinking - thanks! I definitely need to submit for exactly that reason. Regret's no joke. I guess I'm worried that I'll submit and immediately think of a better 250 concept or something. Gonna have to let it go.salander wrote:Well, is there any chance at all that, ten years down the line, you'll regret not sending in an app?

Mine was a page long and I'm almost 4 years out. That seemed right to me.GrayGamut wrote:I like this line of thinking - thanks! I definitely need to submit for exactly that reason. Regret's no joke.

Also, I chose to do my post-college activities as a descriptive summary and it's almost a page long, double-spaced. I've been out of UG for 5+ years, but it looks like I squeezed in another essay, which doesn't seem right. Anyone else in a similar position? Should I whack this down to size?

You're very welcome! Ah, I completely understand your fear about submitting a less-than-best application. I submitted because I luckily did get to the point where I was fairly certain I wouldn't be able to think of anything better, but I'm not sure how to balance the trade-offs of submitting early and submitting your "best." I had to play that game with my LORs, and it wasn't fun.GrayGamut wrote: I like this line of thinking - thanks! I definitely need to submit for exactly that reason. Regret's no joke.

Any idea whether Asha has started to read applications? I remember in previous years she has tweeted in early November saying she was starting, but nothing yet. No new 203 posts in a long long time either.

Wait, that's awesome that they do this kind of recruiting. And welcome to TLS. Has the envelope successfully swayed you?Olliedemars wrote:Long time lurker sticking my head out to say: imagine my surprise when I opened my mailbox and found a thick envelope from YLS with a viewbook and a letter encouraging me to apply 'cause I'm LGBT. YLS has a viewbook? They need to convince people to go? Whaa?
I'm at/just above both 25th percentiles, and had no intentions of applying, but that big ol' envelope, though...

I also received this! I'm not LGBT though, so I'm not sure why I received this, but it was pretty lol when my mom called me after opening the letter (my law school mail is delivered to her) and thought this was how I would be coming out to her.Olliedemars wrote:Long time lurker sticking my head out to say: imagine my surprise when I opened my mailbox and found a thick envelope from YLS with a viewbook and a letter encouraging me to apply 'cause I'm LGBT.
