Additional info & updates

9/26/11 - Almost done with applications. Waiting for Yale to go live. I'm aware that all my schools are reaches, but its what I decided. Happy with looking at other grad options after this year.

10/13/11 - All 12 other apps when complete last week. Wonder why Yale opens their application so late? I guess if you're Yale, you make the rules.

10/20/11 - Just got an email inviting me to interview for Georgetown. Not sure what this means, and how often they do this, but happy to provide additional data to the school. Look forward to it!

10/26/11 - Yale went live yesterday. Just submitted. I had already finished the application a while back (boy was that 250 word essay tough), and was ready to submit. Now the long wait begins.

11/8/11 - First decision of the cycle from Virginia. Rejected. I thought I might have had an okay shot at UVA - too bad. At least it was as a fast turnaround.

12/29/11 - Wait-listed at Chicago - unsurprisingly.

1/6/12 - Rejected from Harvard. Not a big deal, was totally expecting. 0-3 so far.

1/9/12 - Wow! What a busy day. Held at Michigan with a nice email. Rejected from Berkeley. Accepted (tentatively!) at Georgetown, i.e. I could generate a login/password via ASW!! Seems too good to be true, so I'm hoping this is not a fluke! But according to TLS, all applicants who could generate login/password have been admitted!

1/13/12 - Rejected from Penn, no surprise. Could officially log into Georgetown ASW today!

2/1/12 - Held at Northwestern. Will stay on their list, for sure.

2/3/12 - Put on Columbia Reserve list. Shaping up to be a lot of LOCIs!

Best of luck. I'm going for several reaches as well. You never know if you don't try!

Thursday, September 22 2011 at 08:00 PM

I like your attitude. Good luck!

Good luck!

Numbers twin indeed! Best of luck to you. I'm not really crossing my fingers for GW because I need real scholarship $$ to afford a PI law career, and waitlisting means no money. In any case, I'll totally be rooting for you this cycle. Go big or go home!

Tuesday, October 25 2011 at 08:00 PM

Wow... I hate UVA

Tuesday, October 25 2011 at 08:00 PM

Good luck with the rest, I'm sure someone will bite.

Sorry to hear about U Chicago... they really waited until the last possible moment to let you know, too.

so sorry i didn't see your comment! I dunno if you figured it out, but I'm anticipating being able to log in via the ASW at midnight tonight. congrats to you on (tentatively) getting in as well!

Tuesday, October 11 2011 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Georgetown! I see you've got a great career ahead of you.

Congrats on Georgetown!!
Tuesday, November 01 2011 at 08:00 PM

That's wonderful news! They rejected me last cycle. I see we're both still waiting on Northwestern... it's been a really long wait. Did you interview? I declined one, maybe that was a mistake.

Monday, November 14 2011 at 07:00 PM

fail at replying again! right now i'm leaning strongly towards NYU but am still anxious to hear back from everywhere. are you excited about georgetown or still hoping for good news elsewhere?

Held at NU
Tuesday, November 01 2011 at 08:00 PM

I also got held yesterday. What a crummy non-decision.

Thanks!
Tuesday, November 01 2011 at 08:00 PM

Your cycle is almost done! I know last year I waited forEVER from Stanford (they rejected me via snail mail) but hopefull you'll hear from NYU and Duke soon! Are you going to ride out all those waitlists?

Sorry about Stanford
Tuesday, November 01 2011 at 08:00 PM

:( I told you they wait until the last possible moment to reject. But huge congrats on Georgetown and best of luck on those waitlists! I'm staying on Northwestern's for sure.
