you will not need anymore schools. trust. you will get an email from H asking to set up a time to chat with t.stock. you will chat. this will be before your application is even complete. then he will call back a few days later and let you in. trust.

You're right, we are twins! So, why the huge jump from one score to the next? For me, I knew I could do better than a 164, but the 176 was higher than any of my practice tests. I got my score yesterday, I'm still so happy about it. Which LSATs did you take? Also, what fee waivers have you gotten since the 177? Good luck this cycle, you won't need it! :)

holy crapola, you were on my watch list, but now with this 177! geez! Anyway, I'm thinking about taking the december test because i took june like you and got the same score. i was usually getting 170-174...did you feel more prepared the second time around? and did the test come back to you quickly once you began to practice again? I haven't really looked at it since june...but i think i'd be back to where i was in a couple of weeks.

Hey! Congrats on the big LSAT jump. Do you plan on submitting an LSAT addendum to the top 5 schools? I know some of them said they avg it unless they get an explanation. I went up from 166 to 172, so am not sure what to do

It'll be interesting to see what happens... I suspect you went to a better-known UG school, but otherwise our apps are quite similar.

good luck to you too :) congrats on the H email -- hopefully I'll get one some time soon

Great job on your updated score. How did you prepare the 2nd time?

I got the HLS interview email at the end of last week. You're probably in the pipeline if you haven't gotten it already.

Congrats on the Harvard phone interview! I really hope I get one as well :-D Do you think you could send me an email about what the interview was like?

hey, i have my hls call this week too- which i guess means tomorrow at this point. hope yours went really well! what are the odds that the second calls will start next week?

grats on berkeley! the rest will come soon

on Boalt! One of my top choices as well :-D

hey, your numbers look more like mine now! your paranoia is making me paranoid... but honestly, what are you afraid of them seeing?

On Harvard!

Harvard!! I saw that and got really excited. Put in a good word for me!

Haha, isn't it a little late for you to care about yield protection? Of course I'm only teasing, fudge your numbers if you want to :-D And again, congratulations! Must have been a great day :-P

on Harvard and Boalt...must be nice to have two great schools want you so badly, so early!

The anticipation of waiting for everything is a little aggravating, but I'm just glad to have everything in THEIR hands now. :-)

Congrats! Wow, Harvard and Boalt :) I was wondering if you might help a newbie and let me in on the secret to the big jump in score? Any help would be great! Thanks and congrats!

Thanks for the advice! Congrats again :)

You got into Harvard. The only reason anyone else hasn't sent something in yet has got to be a paperwork issue. Congrats, that is awesome.

Looks like I'm in the same boat as you. :( Don't know what's going on there.

I hope not. I guess we'll see.

thanks! GL on the rest of your cycle...tho i think u certainly don't need it! go bears

I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm not really worried about it. I'll go to HLS before I go to UofM anyway, so it doesn't matter if I get accepted or not.

Congrats on UCLA! I got in yesterday, so I guess they finally got around to us. :)

I think you might sweep the cycle!

On Michigan!

on UCLA and Michigan! More to come for you, no doubt :)

If I have half the cycle you're having, I'll be ecstatic. Best of luck!

Congrats to yourself as well! Cal students have been doing really well this year =) Here's to future success!

I really don't know... I grew up in Michigan, and going to U of M has a lot of appeal to me. How about you?

Yeah, I understand that... coming from my background, having that Harvard name up on my wall would be pretty nice. It's definitely a good position to be in =) Congrats again!

I really have no idea - I love them all. I keep wishing I could mash all three into one uber-school - what a relief that would be! Are you thinking Harvard?

That wasn't to suggest you won't get into S or Y - I'm just curious which school you're favoring at this point.

Nope, still haven't heard from them, but I didn't go complete there till rather late. I also haven't heard from UVA either, and I've been complete there since 11/15...so I'm expecting something soon, hopefully.

Can you withdraw from Boalt please, once you make a clean sweep of HYS?

I don't link my LSN page to my LSD account so that I'm harder to identify by adcoms... I guess it still isn't too difficult. I'm (slightly) paranoid. Good luck with the rest of your cycle. Here's to hoping we both end up at our top choice!

On Penn!

On Virginia!

nothin compared to you, but I appreciate it =]

On UVA and Penn!

for the congratulations. I wish I could tell you exactly what put me over the top. I worked really hard on my statements and I knew all of my recommenders very well. I think my application just came together well. Good luck to you. I hope to see you at some ASWs!

On Chicago!

Wow, incredible score. Was the first time just a fluke or did you really study hard for the second one?

Let me be the first (on LSN) to congratulate you on the Hamilton! Also, fix your decision dates... it's 2008 now :)

Way to go calgal! Congrats on earning the Hamilton! Good luck on the choices to come =)

On Columbia! You'll have a hard decision to make!

I still have almost 3 months to make a decision. Plenty of time. I am going to visit HYSC...

That's great news! I imagine it's a tough decision, but I'm sure things will work out whatever you decide.

On Columbia! :D

You are amazing! Great numbers and the best acceptances possible! I know you will be excited when Yale comes as well! I'm definitely jealous! Congrats at whatever AMAZING school you choose next year!!

I'm sure you'll make it, though with the Hamilton and Harvard, it looks like you're heading off to the East Coast!

...to you, too! I must confess, I'm currently leaning Harward, but I'm definitely going to take a much closer look at CLS now. What are your thoughts? And I agree with your plea to Yale and Stanford...I have nightmares about being on a waitlist in July. Congrats again!

Tough call. My law student friends universally worry about how stressful Columbia is. And I'll be qualifying to LRAP anyway from Harvard. But full-tuition plus research opportunities? Truth is we'll have to wait for Yale to come in before we really sit down and figure this stuff out. Thanks for the congrats. Hopefully we'll make the same choice, whatever it may be.

Wow, very cute. I had to look at your a bit closer to see the distinction. I am assuming you are my age too then. Anyhow, congrats!

I'm really not sure. I'm interested in govt work and also want to leave open the option to enter the legal academia world, so I think I'm leaning towards Harvard's thanks to its potential for future career flexibility. Not sure if that helps though!

I don't know what I did wrong with CLS... still no word yet. Any new developments in your decision?

I don't really know what I'm going to do at this point. My cycle isn't over yet, and I feel that I need to visit the schools before making any decisions.

Thanks, calgal. Congrats on your Darrow and Hammy! Absolutely amazing.

wow, it looks like you've got some amazing acceptances with money. =) you must be excited! i'm not entirely sure where i'll be going yet...i'll be visiting columbia this week. what about you?

On all of your acceptances. I understand you don't want to make any hasty decisions, but would you kindly consider withdrawing from those schools you know you will not be attending. Thanks :)

Berkeley is definitely one of my top choices, I'm really happy to be accepted there. Thanks for the congrats, and congrats to you as well on all your amazing acceptances and scholarships!

I was so confused! Because you DID generously withdraw and yet you seemed so angry. But I am glad it is not you and I did not upset you. Thank you so much for thinking of others and withdrawing... and once again congrats on your acceptances! You have an awesome future ahead of you!

Your stats make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

On Stanford!

Wow that had to just blow with SLS. Well congrats on all the success and you are still my idol. Good luck to you and dont forget that the left coast is the best coast. This is casper13 from LSD.
