Re: Bad Impressions
I did go there! But replace Chicago with [any school] and I'd still be absolutely baffled. Refusing to apply to a school because someone there didn't answer the questions with enough enthusiasm seems like the definition of a bitchfit.DJKRD92 wrote:Haha i hope you actually even go to Uchicago to at least justify the juvenile bitchfit you're havingWheninLaw wrote:Oh, I'm not sensitive and strongly support your right to make stupid choices. If it helps, I'm sure that law students at every top school think it is pretty dumb.DJKRD92 wrote:Lol More like the garbage attitude of the representative of a place with an already terrible reputation (ex. "where fun goes to die") proved why I shouldn't go there in the first place. You seem like you have lots of fun friends. Don't be too sensitive about it.WheninLaw wrote:Sure, boss. Not applying because of the answers to three questions is bizarre. God, having to watch out for the fragile ego's of 0L's would drive me insane
I'd be careful about conflating "shouldn't go there" with "couldn't go there."
Either way, we're not getting anywhere, so I bid you good luck with your retake and your law school career (not at Chicago!!!!!!)

My Chicago interviewer had my name wrong the entire time. I wouldn't call it a bad impression, but it sure made for a memorable 15 minutes.

Re: Bad Impressions
I received an acceptance e-mail from a law school that I had never heard from before yesterday (although, in their defense, they did send out an apology e-mail several hours later). I also received in one of my acceptance letters a hand-written letter from the Dean inviting me to enroll and get away from the cold weather in Green Bay. I go to school in central New York...

Re: Bad Impressions
George Mason started strong. They called me the week of Thanksgiving because they wanted me to be able to have some good news over my holiday break, which I thought was very nice of them. Then over the weekend, the dean texted me asking if we could chat. Already, I was apprehensive because I was like "what law school dean texts possible students??" But I texted back saying I couldn't talk that day but gave him some other options. He chose the day and said he would talk to me soon. The decided upon day comes and I receive no phone call. Another day passes and later that evening, like 9 or 10, I get a text from the dean apologizing and rescheduling. When he does call he doesn't know basic info about me, like when (if) I have graduated. Then he says he's going to shoot me an email about the admitted student days but tells me his "cheat sheet" doesn't have my email. Then he proceeds to say that GMU is great for being such a young law school and isn't as old as other law schools I may have applied to.
The whole ordeal left a bad taste in my mouth because instead of telling me about the school and its strengths, he just mentioned rankings and tried to bash other law schools.

Re: Bad Impressions
I won't name the law school because anecdotally their admissions team seems vindictive, but I went to visit a school before my LSAT retake. I loved the tour, thought the campus was beautiful, and then we were all invited to speak with an admissions officer. So I waited with the other people to have the chance to speak with someone. The first person to go in came out after maybe 4-5 minutes. This should have been a sign to me. Then when I went in, I asked my first question and the admissions officer said that she hates that question. She said that it makes it sound like I'm asking her to sell the school. Then when I asked my other questions she gave very perfunctory responses. The only time she seemed interested in talking to me was when she asked for my stats. She then said my LSAT was too low and just talked about me needing to improve it.
It all ended happily and I scored 12 points higher on my retake. With great pleasure, I deleted them off my list of schools on LSAC.

Re: Bad Impressions
One admission officer's bad behavior was enough for you to take your LSAT elsewhere...and you think the admissions team is the one that is vindictive.Hildegard15 wrote:I won't name the law school because anecdotally their admissions team seems vindictive, but I went to visit a school before my LSAT retake.

Re: Bad Impressions
I doubt the school is going to be devastated by her failure to apply (not a knock at you, Hildegard, just saying it's weird to call deciding not to apply "vindictive").

Re: Bad Impressions
No offense taken. Vindictive seems an odd choice of word to me too. My LSAT score became high enough that that school no longer would have been worth applying to. I would have deleted it off my list even if the admissions officer had been super nice. But because she was mean, deleting them made me happier. But haters gonna hate.A.

Re: Bad Impressions
Didn't happen to me, but apparently University of Iowa sent acceptance letters to applicants this year, realized the acceptance letters were sent in error, and rescinded the acceptances like a week later. Terrible.

Seriously. Know this is pretty unlikely, but what if someone had their heart set on Iowa and withdrew the rest of their apps upon admission. They'd be screwed.Navyhornguy wrote:There should be a law against that.

Re: Bad Impressions
I was admitted with close to full tuition covered at DePaul. Fast forward two weeks and an admissions officer calls to welcome me , "Lauren", to DePaul College of Law. My name is Kamron...
This really will not play a role in my decision as DePaul is a safety net, but it definitely left a bad taste. Not to mention it made for an awkward 90 second phone call.

Could you name the school after the cycle? I mean you didn't even apply, right? Itd be interesting to know who it is.Hildegard15 wrote:I won't name the law school

Maybe. This school also ended up causing the massive compendium exodus and flurry of people deleting all their posts, so my bad impression actually ended up being indicative of the admissions staff.lymenheimer wrote:Could you name the school after the cycle?
