Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

[KateMcKitten]

I can't let myself read Asha's twitter. If I do, I fall in love with her. And then I go read things about Yale and other Yale faculty and I fall in love with the school. But I can't let myself fall in love. And so I have cut myself off.

My whole life in a nutshell. Half her twitter is in screenshots I've sent to my best friends. I'm seriously so in love with her. My gf is unhappy with it for many reasons.

You guys should read that whole thread. Someone has some serious cajones, but credit to Asha, she kept answering. Sounds like she's finished reading all her files and FR is almost done. Winter is coming!

Holy smokes. They really went for it.

A true hero. Bless them, TLS cretin or not.

Wow that was....bold...

Give em and inch and they take a mile! This is why adcomms don't start answering questions in the first place...

"@DeanAsha also if our file was a presumptive admit by you and didn't get passed to faculty could we still potentially be waiting?"

she didn't respond to that one...

Given the "presumptive admit" attitude and that they've been waiting for "over a month" (likely only just) I wonder if admissions would be able to get a sense of which applicant this is. There probably aren't many people with GPA/LSAT >75th (which is what I assume "presumptive admit" means, possibly with some interesting softs,) much less people with GPA/LSAT >75th who submitted an app about or just over a month ago and haven't been admitted.

Ick, I hope not. I fit that description, but I certainly didn't make those tweets.

Even more, I don't really expect GPA/LSAT > 75 means presumptive admit. I think she's been pretty clear in the past that they don't care about your scores once you're "high enough" (e.g., something in her blog about not wanting to admit people who are just good at taking tests). I think it's really the softs that matter.

maybe Y will send out a bunch of acceptances tomorrow during H ASW just for the lols

[hammy393]

There are ~190 admitted students in the fb group - so 70% of all admits (190/270)

~7% of admits - 19 - come off the WL, according to LSN: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... p?t=225363

So there might be ~70 straight admit offers (non-WL) remaining

From the ASW Saturday Schedule:

• 4:30 – 5:30 A Conversation with Dean Martha Minow

That would be absolutely savage.

Thanks a lot for doing this, extremely helpful (and a tiny bit reassuring).

Oh my god I hope they don't try to guess. Please no guess blaming applicants for this crazy

Reject all the presumptive admits. It's the only way to know for sure. /kidding

I feel like anyone this arrogant would come through that way in their PS? One can only hope...

I'm at Harvard ASW. If there is a hushed murmur during the conversation with Dean Minow, I'll let you folks know. I'm kind of picturing that moment when the White House aide told George Bush about 9/11 in that classroom.

It was a useless exercise after the first question Just her being nice/reassuring. Hope they figure out who that "presumptive admit" is---I can't even imagine how cocky/uninformed you have to be to think you're a presumptive admit at Y.

she was a special agent in the fbi, if anyone can figure out who they are, it is her lol.

It can also be really easy to use a few vague data points to identify someone. See this study, which determined that 87% of respondents (216 million people!) on the 1990 US census could be uniquely identified by just their ZIP, gender, and DOB.

What time of day do acceptances usually go out on Saturdays

[Whittie]

We got through the Minow talk without movement. War will have to wait.

[AnonHumanPerson123]

I really thought we would see some movement today.

[Gabriel_is_Satan]

I really thought we would see some movement today.

So did I! No new admits, no rejections, nothing?
