This school is stingy with the $, negotiate as hard as you can. If you're looking at a top 20-30 school at sticker or near sticker and Hastings at a discount, pick the former. You'll be better off in the long run.

how long after you guys were admitted did it take to receive the admissions packet in the mail?

.

I was accepted Feb 29 and received packet today.

Waitlisted today! Ahhh so nerve racking.

Yeah, I got that same email on Monday. Somewhat demoralizing. I'm technically still waiting to hear from UCLA, UC Davis, and UC Irvine, but my brain says, "Well, if I got waitlisted at UC Hastings, then...."

Waitlisted - 162 / 3.52 ?

Thoughts on the upcoming 2017 USNR rankings coming out next week? Specifically regarding UC Hastings, Loyola & Pepperdine (if anyone has read up on the changes).

USNWR is still completely meaningless in my book; it's more marketing than an actual ranking. Hastings took a pretty hard hit over the last twenty years because of job numbers, though, so it is nice to see that those numbers might be rebounding slightly.

Yes, supposedly back at top 50 and finally passing Pepperdine. Good to know. Decision time is approaching and am fluctuating between the three.

Admitted with $$.

just sent an email to withdraw. Good luck to you all.

Hi all, congrats to those that have been accepted! Just wondering, when did most people submit their apps? I went complete on 2/1, and I applied via LEOP. Still wondering when I'll hear back

Submitted around 12/5, heard back 2/12.

I just withdrew my offer of admission. Hopefully my decision will help someone on the waitlist.

In review since 3/2, crickets since... I applied for LEOP. Anyone in the same boat?

Haha. I applied in December LEOP and haven't heard a thing! A bit ridiculous.

And I thought I've been waiting forever! (Went complete 2/1). I wonder if all LEOP applicants are being tabled to be considered at a later time? Hmm

I applied in mid-January. Received acceptance packet 10 days ago with $25k.

Not true, I applied LEOP in December and heard back last month.
