emc (2022-2023)

Thanks for your congrats note. I'd be happy to share more info with you, but couldn't figure out your email. You can reach me at tocquefem@hotmail.com.

I should have cancelled the first time. It was anxiety, and I had my sisters wedding, and a trip to Poland all coming up within three weeks of taking the test in July. I was to busy/stressed to clear my mind . 2nd time (Dec.) I was able to prep a bit more for games, watched the time limit better. Really, I don't have a good story, I was just too goofy to realize what a bad day it had been. It hurts now, avg 165 when my lowest preptest was 164.

your move.

All your pawn are belong to us.

Haven't played correspondance chess in a long time. /terrible blitz player and proud of it

E-mail me if you want to keep going...

That's funny. Are apps are so similar for the first three lines, and then if all breaks down. Good luck dude. (Though I don't think you'll need it.)

Thanks, grouch. Good luck to you, too!

jurisdebt- Thanks for the congrats! I'm sure you have more good news coming.

Congrats to you, you're pretty well set! I abandoned the Columbia app because they asked nosy questions about my parents 'lives that I felt were not appropriate; I don't want my apps connected to my parents. Since I hate BigLaw and my parents aren't helping with finances ($80K for ugrad was enough, apparently...) I only applied to schools that give merit aid to student without public-interest experience. I know I'm smart enough :) but I know my heart isn't in it for a top law school. I applied to NYU a couple weeks behind you; where's my decision?! My best friend just got a math postdoc at Duke, and I could work at current job part time if I moved to Durham (which I recently realized isn't inthe mountains), so now I'm kicking myself for not hitting Duke. Can I trade in my NYU app?

Howdy emc, I saw your xoxohth post today. Congrats on Chicago! I may see you there. Best of luck with H, Y, and Columbia. Unless, of course, you feel a particular affinity for the great state of Michigan, in which case I count you amongst my comrades. Warm regards, LevDavid

Hah, so we have the same numbers, the same major, and a perfect correspondance in decisions where received, including the Harvard ding on the same day. I hope the pattern holds for NYU, Chicago and Columbia. (Though NYU's been sitting on my app for too long...) Anyhow, goodluck with Yale, and who knows, maybe I'll see you at Chicago.

Hey grouch, That's hilarious, how well our apps have matched up. Hope to see you at Chicago. Oh, and congrats on the HLS ding. I'm feeling very prestigious.

Thanks, kyrgyzgirl. I take it you're Kyrgyzstani; what do you think of what's happening in your homeland, right now? Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. I actually have no doubts that some admissions folks do look at LSN and other sites. Frankly, I don't really care, as long as they take care before using any information they find against applicants. Have fun at Yale!

Thanks for sharing about your mother; that must be stressful! I do hope things settle down, quickly, over there. Anyway, it looks like I'm going to Chicago, though I'm waiting on Yale, before making a final decision.

I'm heading to Chicago. It was my first choice, anyway, in terms of intellectual environment, social life, and setting, and the Yale ding seals it. At last, my applications cycle is over!

Hey emc, looks like i am headed to chicago too (though i have yet to change my status to attending-- so scary to do after this whole long process!). looking forward to meeting you in chicago!!

Hey jrg83, Congrats on reaching a decision! What made you choose Chicago over Columbia? It sounded like you were leaning towards Columbia. Anyway, I'll look forward to meeting you at Chicago!

my visit sealed the deal-- i was really impressed with the school, the classes, the campus, the current students, and the city itself. fantastic. can't wait to meet you there in the fall. where are you thinking of living? i've sent in an application for regents-- it seemed to me to be the nicest accommodation (although a bit far from the law school itself). -jessica

Jessica, I also applied at Regents. It seems like there are a lot of good options, housing-wise, but the mini-community there clinched it, for me. I'm entering after a few years of work, so not being isolated is somewhat important.

I'll see you at Chicago in the fall!
