YP (can be WL or straight reject) I'd say is more likely if you're above 75ths than not, but YP is also something that may just be an excuse made up by people who get rejected from schools they feel they should have gotten into based on numbers alone (maybe their application wasn't actually very good).mrcfa1995 wrote:Is being above both 75ths when you're in danger of a YP WL?

The schools I listed are pretty well known for liking/appreciating extra essays/Why Xs, and applicants tend to see better results when submitting supplementals to those schools.
The biggest key is to write essays for schools you actually want to attend, and write them with legitimate reasons. Adcomms can smell BS a mile away

it's what NavyNuke said - you have access rights to your ed records under a federal act. you waive your right to request the letter that you otherwise could under that act. The waiver is not so that LSAC won't show you the letter. You don't waive your right to request it from LSAC because you are net federally guaranteed a right to request it from LSAC like you are from whatever school you eventually attend.Platopus wrote:Nothing stopping the professor from showing you the letter, LSAC won't that's all.NavyNuke wrote:
Are you saying that if you waive your rights to view your letter of rec your recommender can't then voluntarily show you what they wrote without you having to tell LSAC that you saw the letter? I thought that waiving your right to view the letter just meant that if you are accepted to that school your letter won't be treated like a part of your student record and if you ask the school to show you the letter they can and probably will say no.

You know that feeling you get sometimes when you think people are hanging out without you? That's how I feel about law schools. "Are you guys flirting with other 98 and 99 percenters? Am I being left out?"
@rowdy: My GPa is trash, but it's in. I started getting mail before it was, though.
