i waited for 6 weeks for an interview request after an UR2.
Thanks for the info, that would be pushing me pretty far into April so hopefully I hear back a little sooner than that.
Sorry, it should be UR1, mistyped. :oops: :oops: :oops: hope you get interview really soon!

Not particularly, thankfully. Already in at NYU and Duke, waiting to hear if they're going to offer a scholly.

No stats available for a reliable approximation. Speaklng solely on the basis of what i have seen reported ITT, more people seem to get accepted than rejected after interview.
Also, people who have interviewed recently have heard back quick. And we are fast approaching mid-March. So you may not have to wait too long. All the best.

Yeah - the typing responses were a bit different and a little more challenging IMO but not terrible.

Unsure of admitted yet, but is there an ASW that is more popular? Just did the interview after getting the request a few days ago. Out of curiosity, anyone admitted feel like they sort of flubbed one of the written responses (first one) a little bit.

I went there for UG so I'd only be attending to get a better feeling for the LS and the other students that may be attending (hence why I'd go to the more popular one)... I'll call them and ask on Monday if I don't hear from anyone ITT, but I figured I would see if anyone had already asked.

Also I'm fine to answer any questions a UG might know :P.

Could be helpful to have a thread on this. I've heard Berkeley and Vandy are low or no-negotiating schools as well. Interesting that Cornell may be heading in that direction too.

FYI, all: Cornell's closed from noon EDT today to noon tomorrow EDT due to snow storm, so I wouldn't expect movement in the next 24 hours!

Well, I just donated a hundred bucks to the law school annual fund for scholarships, so now they have no excuse not to make it rain $$$$.

I'm assuming a Texas law scholarship won't have much weight in negotiations?
