rsr28 (2022-2023)

We should certainly keep each other updated. Do you absolutely not want to remain in NY for Law School? It seems that you are not interested in Columbia or NYU, though NYU is a probably a 50-50 shot for you.

That means that you did not receive an email from the school giving you the waivers, however on LSAC, once you get to the part of the application where they ask you to pay, it says "Fee Waived due to CRS", or something of that nature. As for Soft Factors, I will update all that once I got some important decisions from schools. It would be too obvious who I am if I state them, in case an adcom check LSN (as I'm sure they do).

Thanks. Good luck to you too.

Let me then advise you that Washington and Lee application is online is free whether you got a fee waiver or not. They are doing free online applications through LSAC. Just thought that its a school you'd be interested in since its situated in a wonderful little city in Virginia and is more reputable than a few you are applying to. They are also an auto-admit for you, and a likely big scholarship (you were asking for that on LSD).

to you too! That online status thing is evil... it still says a decision hasn't been made!

thanks! look at our matching lists! now the LONG wait begins...i'm dreading, but tonight i'm celebrating.

Mechanical Engineering nontrad here. I will likely not apply to my whole list since my family may constrain my ability to move.

On Duke!

Congrats on Duke! Michigan's probably up next.

Meh, I'm only applying to schools I would want to go to. If I don't get in anywhere, I'll retake and re-apply next cycle. Congrats on Duke!

Seems like us number twins get decisions from the same school on the same day. Congratulations on your Duke acceptance. I hope the pressure is now off you (like it is off me). ENJOY!

Better be cautious than sorry :) I should probably do the same

Congrats on Duke! My experience is actually in government, although I did a year during undergrad in the manufacturing industry.

Congrats on Duke. We're pretty close to number twins, so I'm sure I'll be checking your status almost as much as mine ;)

wow, everything is happening for us on the same day! did you get an email from harvard about a call, or just the 'complete' email? i just got the complete email :(

Hi there. Noticed that you said you never got the online status thing to work. It's having the same problem for me. Did you ever manage to get them to update it?

That's my fault, I forgot to update it. I went complete 10/29, but my hopes aren't high for an acceptance.

Any drive or focus I have are driven by a all consuming fear of failure... and lots of caffine. Congrats on getting into Duke so early... you must be thrilled! What is your top pick?

Not worried about not hearing from Michigan yet. I only went complete there on November 16th, I doubt any school not named Duke hands out decisions within ten days of an applicant going complete... You shouldnt worry either because it is early for you to hear too... It is one of my top choices though, so I really hope I get in.

I would prefer FT, but I am willing to go PT for the right offer. Cost + Time + Location / Options Or some random formula. Haha. I'm pulling for some instate tuition. Less than 100K of debt would be a HUGE plus.

They requested your file only one day before they requested mine from LSAC... and yet you've been complete for 10 days now and I've still not gone complete... :(

...on Duke, and getting in all your apps so early! Can I ask which joint degree program you applied to? It's a bit annoying that the e-mail said some don't do reviews until January. :-(

congrats on duke. hopefully the rest will come through as well. waiting is by far the worst part.

Congrats on your likely Michigan acceptance. I hope mine is coming soon. I'm tired of looking at the status checker.

I gave the status checker a look today after your warning, but not yet for me. Congratulations on going to decision there. I'll keep an eye on your profile. I hope to go to decision within one week of yours since I went complete tehre exactly one week after you. Good Luck :)

Unimpressive? How so? You had a very tough major and kept a top GPA and scored 98th percentile on the LSAT. Don't underestimate yourself (especially since that forces me to underestimate myself due to have similar numbers). :)

I think your engineering degree for an aspiring intellectual property lawyer is a fantastic soft factor (I should have done engineering in college too, but too late to cry now). I am a positive thinking guy lol, so I like to think we're both in at Michigan... :)

you are in at michigan. congrats! that is my dream school, and i wish i just had a couple points of your lsat score!

I'd probably have gone with something like Chemical Engineering. Mathematics and the sciences used to be my best subjects back in high school and my whole family history has been connected to mathematics. I was the first one that broke away from that, and not because I wasn't that good at it, but because I wanted to try something different... As for considering the ND offer, I actually am doing that right now. It is still ranked below Duke, even with the very generous no-string scholarship, but I have always loved ND (including me being an Irish football fan). Of course I'd take Michigan over that package at ND in a heartbeat and start rooting for the worst enemy of the Irish. Hah!

Forgot to state my majors. I double majored in Political Science and Economics. Deffinitely two majors that are not too marketable without a graduate degree.

On Michigan!

UVA would be pretty great I think. Their placement is really quite impressive. The only thing that makes me worried about UVA is that it's in Charlottesville. Nevertheless, I don't think I'll get in there. Probably will be waitlisted...

on Michigan and Vandy. Hope I join you with a Michigan acceptance soon :)

Congratulations on Vandy and Michigan! You're having a wonderful cycle! Come on HYS, wise up and admit rsr28.

nice start to the cycle...congrats. I saw on LSD that you applied to the MA/JD program at Duke. You still considering it? Duke, UVA & UM are definitely my top choices--so I'm hoping I can be in your position in a few weeks! Congrats again.

On Texas!

and congrats to you as well for not only UT, but also michigan, vanderbilt, and duke! also, i see youve applied to pretty much the best law schools minus columbia - why??

No clue. If I get into any of those 3 I will be jumping for joy. I am really interested in the Duke Joint program though...

yeah i'm not stressing it yet. I'm complete at all of them, so soon enough my friend. cultural anthro is the dual...really I just have a pretty broad base of interests, and this would allow me to basically create my own degree

would be NYU. yea i really hope applying early will help out. whats your top choice?

I know this sounds like a crazy question, but how does one apply for a fee waiver?

thanks so much! i thought it would be so hard to get fee waivers, so i never applied. but it seems as though everyone on this website has gotten at least a few fee waivers that i feel i should try.

I'm not sure I'm going to apply to Duke. It seems like a waste of time since I doubt I'd go there anyway. Alabama is high on my list. I'll have to wait and see if I get into Vandy, Emory, and Georgia before deciding which is my true number 1 though.

How were you notified of $$ at UT? Are you from TX? Holding out that they'll offer me something...however nominal. Thanks!

Nice cycle bro! killin it!!! 75k at UIUC aint too shabby!!

Thank you! And Congrats on your amazing cycle, so far! Good luck with the rest of it!

I've lived in Texas for.. 15 years now. I'm ready for a change of scenery. And BC, well it was just a feeling I got while on campus. I like its reputation, I *love* Boston, and of the Boston schools I'm competitive at, BC is the best option for me. I like that it's located in Newton. As for UT, if I was accepted, I'd definitely consider it. I mean, I'm already familiar with the area, school, etc. And living in Texas is infinitely cheaper than the NE. UT is a great school, but I want to take a risk and move on from what feels safe. I can definitely give you more info on Austin if you have questions!

hey- how was the interview? congrats on acceptances!

Well, congrats, it sounds like a good interview (better than mine for sure) and probably the guy just didn't know that interviews are for everyone. I'm still really into NW, although kind of confused not to have heard from them. I think of the schools I've heard from so far, NYU is at the top, although some days I think Cornell. I would *love* to get into Harvard (obviously) but totally uncertain if and when that would happen. I'm just hoping that my cycle is over sooner rather than later, you know? I hate this waiting and obsessing part. I'm surprised you haven't heard from Cornell yet. Do you have a top choice?

On NYU!

Congrats on NYU and the rest. Also congratulations on doing whatever you did to have whatever awesome factors you most definitely have. You are probably a super person! Good Luck with everything !

On Penn and Virginia!

On a fantastic cycle--it's really impressive! How did NU let you know? I applied as part of their early admission and I feel like I may have missed the memo on a waitlist or something...

Wow, that Cornell scholarship is impressive! Are you following through with what you said and headed that-a-way?

Nice! That merit/need based and how'd it come? In any event, that's a sweet deal.

Quite possibly. I'm still undecided.

Got the same offer @ Cornell, wooooooo
