So jealous of the JR1. Really hoping I get one soon. Congrats man! – anonymous

I trust that the JR1 interview went well, I'm anxiously awaiting one.

Your cycle should turn out just A OK.

Nice numbers by the way, they look familiar.
– MunnerExtraordinaire

Congrats on Georgetown (and UCLA with scholly!), my near number twin!! – starrydecisus

I'd give it a few more days for your JR2.... four days is a bit quick ;)

Congrats with everything else though! We have close stats...I'm waiting for my JR1!

Best of luck. – HLS2012

Hey man, yeah you too. I sort of doubt more are coming today, but maybe we'll sneak into one of the December batches. – crackberry

I was checkin you out a few days ago I think. It seems like JR sent a bunch of JR1's to URMs recently, so maybe he is considering us all together. Anyways I think you'll get good news soon enough ;) Check your pm's for my stats. Best of luck!!! – booby87

Congrats on BU, twin! Now, if only I could get MY phone call.... :) – starrydecisus

I hope a JR2 is on its way for you! Also, for my sake, since I'm in the "not usually accepted this early but had an early JR1" boat. I guess admits traditionally go out on Mondays? – bottomshelf

You're just racking up the acceptances! Awesomeeeee getting into Berkeley!!!! I love when law schools give 168s some love :) – starrydecisus

More 168 love :) Congrats on Michigan!!!! I just got accepted to UVA!!!! – starrydecisus

good question! It varies with the school. I was strong considering applying ED to GWU for the scholly chance, but wanted to wait until I received as many decisions back as possible before the Dec. 15 deadline. I've pretty much decided to just apply there RD now that I'm in at GTown and UVA.

The rest of the schools had something complicated about their application--i.e. additional essays, etc.--that I just haven't been able to really focus on with the semester of school winding down/finals/etc. Applications just suck the life out of me! I know it usually helps to apply earlier rather than later, but since I applied to many schools, I slowed down. – starrydecisus

Evidently Berkeley wasn't enough for you in early December, clearly you needed Michigan and Cornell too, lol.

Congrats man I'm very happy for you. I don’t even know you yet I feel like your success is my success, must be the bond of number twins.
– MunnerExtraordinaire

about Michigan anymore! congrats! – bottomshelf

Hey thanks man, I appreciate the well-wishes. I'll be watching closely to see if you and some of the other JR2-less people get a call from Harvard, so hang tough. – crackberry

I'm in love with you.
Will you marry me?

– D.V.B.

congrats on Cornell, Michigan, Penn, etc.!! You're just pullin in the acceptances :) – starrydecisus

I promise I'll get them in within the next two days!!!! – starrydecisus

Congrats on your cycle so far, and good luck with the rest! – Sakura3210

Hey congrats on your success so far! Just wondering what your softs were(PM me if you don't want to post it publicly)? Your numbers are solid, but I'm wondering what you thought made you stand out? – HLS2012

AA male. Huge splitter though so my cycle was bound to be unpredictable. Congrats on all your great acceptances thus far. Hope HYS work out for you. – slightlystoopid

Hey thanks :) Here's to good news for the both of us! – HLS2012

Hey thanks, congrats to you too on your acceptances so far, and good luck with the rest of your cycle! – SR86

Haha honestly I wish I knew the answer to that. – crackberry

About Yale huh? Ah well, I guess there's still Harvard and Stanford, right? – Sakura3210

JR apparently hasn't found me interesting (yet?) :(
Gotta say, I'm suprised you haven't heard from NYU yet. I wouldn't worry though - they've probably got you in a money pile :) – Sakura3210

Wow - great cycle! Funny about Duke asking for an interview and your already into Stanford and Berkeley!

I'm in the Harvard hold club too so best of luck! – winterwonderland

hmm clearly I've spent a little too much time on TLS/LSN and maybe am thinking about Stanford a little too much too. but yes congrats on all the great acceptances anyways – winterwonderland

hi Core- it's hannah87 from TLS. the one who went to the same "TTT Public" as you ;) wondering if you're in MHC? Also, I'm betting you're getting into NYU this week! – braceypie

i am working full time, but it's not a legal job...it's in the quality improvement dept at a hospital, which is sort of indirectly related to medical malpractice law, but i'm not particularly interested in that. i think the school name made it difficult for me to get a paralegal job post-grad. the BALA program at our TTT is actually what got me interested in law though, so i am grateful for that :) – braceypie

i'm going to go with good news,if only to make myself feel a little better! either way, you have some fantastic options to "fall back" on. GOOD LUCK! – braceypie

boo. i have a feeling they're just trying to gauge your interest, though. i'm rooting for you! – braceypie

reserve at CLS. i think i'll ride it out. i have a good feeling about your hold! – braceypie

Thanks man! Good luck to you too! One question, how long after you went under review for Harvard did you get contacted for a JR1? – CG614

Lol, thanks.

Congrats on your acceptances as well!

I think someone from HSCN is going to bite for you. Besides you have Berkeley and Chicago, to name just a few, you’re in a great position right now.

Are you still going to the Berkeley ASW?
– MunnerExtraordinaire

Makes sense, I would probably choose Chicago over NYU as well.

I've already attended Harvard's ASW, it was great. They did an amazing job "selling" the school, not that they needed to.

I plan on attending both Stanford's and Berkeley's ASWs. Of course if I get into Yale I will be attending their ASW as well.
– MunnerExtraordinaire

thanks!!! the fordham $ is really great. i'm visiting UVa in april, but i'm leaning toward fordham now, just because virginia is pretty unrealistic in my situation. are you thinking chicago?? more nyu acceptances should be coming in the next week or two- i hope you get one!! – braceypie

Not a word from Harvard over here. But, silence is at least better than a ding. You were held by Columbia? Hopefully you hear something soon. You definitely leaning Penn with scholarship over Chicago? – CG614

it's so painful! i can't believe you haven't heard, either. big congrats on the michigan and upenn scholarships!!!! – braceypie

I have a theory - our awesomeness shines like the sun, and they fear going blind if they look at our apps too long :D

Thanks, and congrats to you too - that Penn scholly is nothing to frown at! – Sakura3210

Haha, thank you. It was a single take and I have nothing terrible on my record. Completely free of disciplinary issues. There are a couple minor weaknesses and I guess my personal statement was kind of risky, but I think it's also that it's a really tough year. I feel really lucky and flattered that a T14 offered me so much money in this economy and cycle though, and a lot of people are telling me that this is better than Harvard at sticker, and maybe even Yale (I would definitely still take Yale over this though. Good luck with your top choices! – CoaltoNewCastle

Are you planning to stick it out to the bitter end like me? XD – Sakura3210

Currently going to Penn... decided I'd rather be on the east coast this fall. What's your plan? Will I see you around? – HLS2012

It appears that the top schools didn't give you a URM boost :( – anonymous

I think they did - i.e. the fin aid I got, my acceptance at Chi, and my HLS interview. I think it was a just a tough cycle. I am also half white and indicated as such in my app. – ContinentalOp
