are y'all planning on doing any kind of prep before 1L starts?

ValleyH

I'm debating on what books to read, if there's courses out there, etc.

Wild that NYU doesn't have enough staff to deliver decisions in a timely fashion, but they can offer dozens of interviews to people they've kept in limbo for months.

No, not salty at all. Why do you ask?

Is it helpful to visit a law school’s campus on the WL? (I’ll be in the city this summer anyways so it’s pretty low stakes in terms of money/travel time)

@PreviousSwelteringQuail: Hard to say. Some schools don't care or aren't organized in a way that a visit translates into interest. It won't hurt your chances, and it may be worth visiting just to see if you really can picture yourself there.

@PreviousSwelteringQuail: it does not help

Georgetown updated my law hub to "applicant withdrawn" but never responded to my really long kind email explaining why I had to withdraw lol

Ijustwannagetinman

17:47

that's kinda rude I mean I understand though but wow

Also if anyone cares, it seems spivey was right that we will see more Wairlist movement. UCLA and UVA are the only T14 that have truly been through their waitlists and both have already taken way more students than last year at this point. Definitely something to watch!

fwiw that's how its been for every school i withdrew from, or something like "application cancelled"

It can -think I saw the powerscore guy confirm on a reddit thread.

I don't see why it wouldn't, except that lsac love shit like that

UCLA's waitlist volume seems similar? 10 people logged a WL -> A result last cycle, 11 people this cycle

jb2028

21:20

Scratch that, exactly 10 each cycle

jb2028

21:21

Although it looks like half of UCLA's waitlist As last cycle (5/10) came in June or later, so looking more closely waitlist volume does seem up for UCLA

I got an email from Emory's Office of Financial aid saying they received my aid application. The email also said "Log into OPUS, Emory's student portal, to review our online service offerings and to review your To Do activities, important messages from the Office of Financial Aid, and later in the application cycle, your aid package and disbursement dates." I haven't been accepted (I'm waitlisted), does or did everyone receive this?
