lovelyavocado (2022-2023)

Thanks for the support with Boalt, my hopes are diminishing rapidly though. Congrats on the Darrow invite, that's an awesome scholarship to be considered for. I'm sure you'll do great this cycle.

good luck, twin. nyu was pretty much silent until i went complete and then they were completely silent until i received the packet in the mail.

my first choice is capricious -- i read websites & viewbooks and get so excited about clinics and international legal study programs and elective classes and extracurrics. i'm a big nerd. i figured i'd hold off on having a REAL first choice until i got in (and then have a first choice from the accepted list, to protect my fragile feelings!) -- so moral of the story is that i'm easily won over. prestige is important, opportunities more so, and attractive $$ options will factor in unless its HYSCCN

TStock will admit you right then. You should seriously do it. But work it into the conversation. Like he says, "So, why do you want to go to Harvard?" and you say "To start a belly dancing club!"

I bet your application is a whole heck of a lot more interesting to read! You've got to be one of the most interesting applicants here.

you're all set with the darrow, and the no-call from harvard probably means nothing at this point in the cycle. the darrow vs. harvard thing is killing me

Used to be Columbia, but I'm sweet on Michigan, so we'll see. Is NYU your first choice?

I see that others have commented on NYU, but I'll comment anyway. :) I never got any "complete" confirmation (although I've been in and out of town and coud have easily and stupidly missed it)so it was a very pleasant surprise when I received an acceptance envelope (big and yellow, if you're keeping track), especially since it was my (kind-of maybe) first choice. Good luck in your endeavors!

Yeah, I hope our numbers are good enough. I don't really know who my first choice is right now. Either UCLA to live near family, or UPenn, cause I love the east coast.

Congratulations to you as well... I'm not even complete yet at Boalt or Georgetown

Thanks LSAT twin :) I actually go to school in NYC now and had waffled about applying to NYU because I really don't like the atmosphere in their undergrad program... but I changed my mind and applied anyways. I hope it wasn't too late! Congrats on all your accepts, good luck with the rest!

Wow, you have great numbers. You will definitely get into every school that you applied for. By the way, what's wrong with disclosing too much information on LSN, if you don't mind my asking? What did the "cryptic email" say?

at the rhodes finals... if you are who i think you are, you should have no trouble getting notes and $. congrats on all your acceptances!

Thanks for the encouragement. You got into Michigan! I am jealous. Good luck with the rest of your cycle.

You mean like, one? :) My fault for being so late in the cycle. TStock hasn't given a lot of deserving people love yet, so don't worry. If we end up at the same school, you can start the bellydancing club and I'll be the, um, Vice President of Observation.

...I didn't even see your UVa acceptance. Congrats! Many more to come...

on your acceptances so far. Are you going to GULC's ASW?

Just wanted to wish you luck on your interview with Dean Stock. Hope you hear good news from H soon.

I've been complete at H around 2 weeks longer than you, so I'm 2 weeks away from the 8 week deadline that H seems to have before making an initial notification. I'm expecting a hold at best. Let me know how your call goes (I'm sure it'll go very well, you're a Rhodes finalist).

awww. no real front-runners at the moment, though i love michigan for treating me so well...i'm really falling for them more day after day

I'll give you half if you go with me!

Shhhhhhh.... shhhhhhhh.... there's a good avocado. Good avocado. :P I'm actually worried that, since I didn't get today, I'm out. Irrational, I know, but if you want it now, I REALLY want it now. Give it to me now, baby.

Youre amazing. I spent time at a madrassa studying Islamic law, and I was hoping the experience would give me an edge with Harvard. But a book as an undergrad, and a thesis on an Islamic law topic? If Harvard has room for us both, we have to have coffee.

Malaysia...home of the shafi'i madhhab in the far east. I'll be glad to tell you about my experience there. I can't seem to find your email. Mine is here (I hope you can view it).

By "there," I meant the madrassa, not Malaysia :)

We're good. It'll just take a little longer for us to hear back. I'm thinking I'll be a March admit. :)

on HARVARD! Hell yeah!

Goodness gracious!! Congratulations! :) I'm so excited for you!

Do you go to Princeton?

...on the same day! Dammmmmn. (please withdraw from NYU. And Berkeley). ;)

Thanks for the sweet comments. I came home today to an awesome scholarship, I bet your good vibes helped :). And NYU too? It must be your lucky day!!

I thought you might go to P-ton based on the fact that your favorite color is "bright orange" but apparently I'm not as clever as I thought. I may or may not be your classmate next year. I'm waiting on Yale before I make a decision. I also may defer law school for a year to go work in China. Congrats on your acceptance!

yea! we will be classmates...unless somewhere else manages to seduce me in the interim...but you seem so nice! Cambridge will adore you!

Thanks girl. I know it's only a matter of time until you're in at Columbia too. Do you think that they'll be able to sway you from Harvard?

right now my problem isn't harvard vs. mich w/money, it's how i'm going to resolve the eight-car pileup that is my law school decision. we're both gonna have some tough choices to make, and soon! congrats to you.

I hate you. :)

Congrats!!! Although, alas, now I'm pretty sure we won't end up as classmates. Go you!!

Congratulations on Yale! An attorney at the firm I'm with now graduated from Yale. She said it's lovely!

Congrats! I'm really happy for you--I guess we won't be having that coffee after all. ;)

Wow, you have many many more wellwishers than I! :) I'm leaning toward Yale too, so we may indeed be classmates. I'd like to visit Stanford and Harvard too, but unfortunately they haven't accepted me yet. Are you going to Yale ASW?

Congrats on your acceptances :-) I'm interested in Middle East-related legal studies as well (specifically political development). With that in mind, how are you weighing YLS v. HLS? I'm having major trouble and would love to discuss it with someone with similar interests. Throw me an e-mail if you're interested. Scott

Free me up a spot at the following schools, post haste: CLS Boalt NYU Sincerely yours,

did you include your finalist for rhodes/marshall on your apps? i've got fulbright, and i'm debating putting it on there... thanks!
