legapp (2022-2023)

Looks like you sticking to the east coast. Any interest elsewhere? What kind of law are you interested in? Good luck! Columbia would be great! (i have my fingers crossed for them as well)

Heard from G'Town today too... just waiting on my Big Three.

for the compliments. I'm sure you're good for your big three. Don't worry about it too much.

thanks for the congrats! and congratulations on your acceptances too!

Thanks! I'm sure you will get in soon as well, numbers twin. Good luck on Columbia as well, I hope we both get in =).

there is more than just hope for Columbia! besides, you already have some snazzy acceptances, so you're set! i was hoping you wouldn't mind letting us know if your deferment came via email or snail mail? it seems acceptances are by email and the rest by snail i wonder. that would definitely clear things up about my empty email inbox!

Congrats on Penn! How exciting :-)

Godwilling, you should hear back from NYU soon. Look for a big yellow envelope.

happy happy joy joy. i forgot about that show and i am very content to see such a pop culture reference! i was hoping i could intrude and ask you how your deferral notice arrived. snail mail i presume? i think the ED yes's are gone and out and the rest of us can count on our mailboxes to deliver the news! since i am in Paris i think my snail mail "defer" or "no" is just gonna take that much longer. considering academia has dispersed for winter vacation i think the ED thumb-twiddlers can discern on their own what their fate is! just wanted to verify my theory with you. thank you.

Congrats! I'm still waiting on them :/

Yea, I can't figure out why we got deferred too. It seems like they had a 170 cut off. Hopefully we'll both get in when March comes around...based on lsn numbers, it seems like we should both be game for NYU. Here's to hoping!

I know! What the hell is taking them so long? Every day I rush home from work to check the mailbox, but nothing. Duke, too, but especially NYU. We should find out soon!

Big time congrats on Penn...you're a lock for Columbia when they get around to reviewing the deferrals. Everyone is complaining about NYU being slow, so I wouldn't worry about it. May the Samuel I. NH name take you to great fortune at CLS and NYU. Hopefully it bears weight for the both of us.

I haven't received any official word on info nights or anything like that, but I know they must be happening eventually :-) As for NYU, I think I may be in for a deferral or something. oh well, I'm kind of more excited about Penn right now anyway.

Dude, I'm tired of waiting for the mailman every day just to hear nothing! Admit me, reject me, just do something! MAN!

I'm thinking about going to it. I'm going to wait like 2 more weeks or so to decide (I already have a place to stay there, so I would just need to somehow find the money for a plane ticket). If my cycle keeps going how its going, I may have no other choice! lol. Are you going??

Thanks for the sympathy. I think it's a mixed blessing though. I mean, I love NYU's academic program, but not so in love with NYC (I'm from the northeast and want at least a little change, too). So I'm not devastated. These deferrals are killing me though! I still have my money bet on you getting in ;-)

The letter was postmarked the 19th, but I just opened it last night (I was away from my apartment for a week b/c of Christmas). I'm surprised you haven't heard yet - any day now I'm sure. Good luck!

Yeah, I actually wrote the "Why Penn?" essay and it was killer. I'll spare you all the details, but the message was "I'm from the Philadelphia area, and my dad is living there alone with multible sclerosis. If I'm admitted to Penn, I'll be able to move in with him and assist him with his daily chores and take care of him." Given the deferral, I'm not putting a ton of weight into the theory that the "Why Penn?" essay matters as much as is thought (unless they are heartless bastards lol). Once again, though, I think my deferral is a mixed blessing. Though I would like to live near my dad and family and love the academics of the law school, I lived in the Philly area for about 15 years and would really like a change (maybe I'm the heartless bastard now lol). Anyways, best of the luck with the rest of the cycle. I'm 99% sure I'll be at Georgetown's admitted student day in January, so maybe I will see you there!

That NYU deferral makes no sense. Why are NY schools giving you such a hard time=). Anyway, you already got some great schools in Penn and GT... maybe I'll see you at the admitted student's day.

I hope you're right about the yield-protecting! I like that POV better than the ones I'd come up with. Congrats on Penn-- it's fantastic that you got one of your dream schools!

Hey, I sent you an email.. I'm definitly attending!! Hope to see you there.

Hey, I don't know about you (okay, I do, since I read your comment), but I LOVED it there. It seemed like the perfect place for me! If I knew I could secure enough financial aid, I would withdraw all my other apps now and definitly attend. DC is my kind of a city, but I can definitly understand why you aren't so sure. In any event, I was wow'ed.

Either way, you can't go wrong. I visited Penn and loved it too, but for personal reasons (obviously, as choosing a law school should be personal!) there were things I favored about Georgetown more. After the reception at GULC though, I find it funny how much emphasis people are placing on the rankings in top 14. I was guilty of this before too, but in all reality, it is the FIT that matters, not the rank. I'm really glad we're both in at a schools we'd feel happy at. CONGRATS again!!

for CLS condolences...I was just relieved to see it wasn't a rejection! I haven't withdrawn yet - but I am leaning towards it. If I decide to visit NYU, then I'll hold off on my CLS withdrawl until after my visit to NY. Need to make a decision one way or the other before next week. I'm sending in my NA finaid stuff and there's no point in sending it to CLS if I'm withdrawing!! Decisions!! Arrgghhh! Hope your Penn preview goes better than GULC's. Based on the LSD threads, it doesn't appear as though GULC wowed too many....

Guess we won't be future classmates as, even if I do wind up bein admitted to Penn, I can't see myself going there. In any event, I wish you ALL the best! I'm so glad you found a school you LOVE!!

I got in!!!!! I'm changing my mind a bit of the "I'd rather go to Georgetown than Penn" mindset. I have no idea why, but I am SO excited!! We may be classmates afterall this fall!!

Very simialr to mine. Even the acceptances and waitlists. So Penn is looking more and more like your number one option. May end up being mine too. What's the deal w/ Columbia's reserve list, is it very unlikely to get an acceptance off of that? From what I hear, it's a long shot getting in after you've been waitlisted. Bummer. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Surprised about NYU though. You seem to have great numbers! I still haven't heard anything from them, really hoping I get an acceptance, can't deal w/ more waiting. Well, I'll be checking your profile. Goodluck!!!

Heh... no, I wish! Well, I guess I would have been if I applied to University of Illinois : ) Eh, it was just a silly double meaning I thought of quickly (perhaps a little too quickly, as it seems like it's going to stick for some time). It's both short for "legal application" and meant to sound like "leg up" when said fast... like, I need to get a leg up to get into these schools!

Sorry to hear about your rejection (their loss).. but great to know you're heading to Penn! I'm waiting on financial aid, but I have a very strong feeling we'll be classmates next fall!!

I thought at least they'd give you a waitlist. I really dont get it. your numbers are very solid. oh well. Let's go Penn!! Sent in my deposit today by the way!! reserved that spot! If it's meant to be and I end up there I'll be lookin for you. I'll randomly scream out 'Legapp!" on campus, that'll be fun! Well, happy to see that you're all set in your ways. goodluck!

Now that my choice is made, I guess secrecy isn't that big of a deal... yep, Syracuse class of '02. I was a journalism major in Newhouse, and did a dual major in art history.

See you in Philadelphia!

I'll be at Penn! Can't wait to meet you (I don't know if we met at Gtown, its quite possible)

I've made my decision, and I'm going to Penn! I just see myself being happier and doing better there, What are you doing for housing?

We both went to the Penn Preview AND Admitted Student's Weekend and managed NOT to meet. Maybe, somehow, over the next three years, we can actually introduce ourselves! I'm also looking at dog-friendly Philly environments, so email me if you want me to keep you updated on what I find. I have your email from before, so I'll probably just send you a message there too, in case you don't come to LSN any time soon. Hope you are happy with your decision. I'm glad it's all finally over, although I'm still wondering what I'll do with all my free time now ... you know, without all the obsessing to be done!
