CALLING ALL HELD PEOPLE: Starting next Monday, April 17, we take back our thread. We have waited long and hard. We will not go down without a fight. Let us join forces and shitpost until the day we are accepted with significant scholarship money. May we all storm the gates of the castle with our acceptance letters come fall.

This is our mission. Join me.

No - you can hold waitlists but you can't hold active seats.

That's not really the feel I got? Other than the administrative offices - I felt most of facilities had a more clean modern look that most law schools.

I didn't think that at all either, everything felt very new to me.

Everything was modern, sleek, and clean. Very bright inside when it was sunny, as a lot of things are transparent. The design is perhaps understated.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
