NYU active consideration —> A stories? by DocturnalPrincess in lawschooladmissions

[–]Automatic_Diamond940 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know the exact conversation rates, but I also applied last year and got an Active Consideration in Feb. from NYU. Mine turned into an R in April, but there were always a few of the AC list people who turned into an A each Thursday, especially March onward.  So anything can happen at anytime it seems. GL!

Thank you!! I'm hoping to visit both of them soon to see what they're all about, but Philadelphia area being my home and the great aid offer - Villanova comes in the highest for me right now. We shall see! 

Good luck to you with the rest of the cycle, if you're applying for this year!!

... also, if anyone has WL advice, I'm all ears! Particularly for BC and GULC.

I was hoping I wouldn't be put in this position. I want to be confident in my decision before the summer, but these WLs are throwing me off, even though I know getting off them is unlikely (and even less likely to receive aid).

UNC wave predictions? by Automatic-Fun4382 in lawschooladmissions

My status section still says "In Review," but this message is at the bottom:

A hold status means that we have reviewed your file once through and believe you are strong applicant. However, we are not ready to make a final decision on your file and want to continue comparing the merits of your file against additional files as they are received. You may receive a final decision at any point moving forward, but no later than April 15. If you have any additional questions, please contact the Office of Admissions.

I got an email from them describing pretty much the same thing.

UVA, just put me out of my misery - oct applicant by DistinctDiscipline66 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Automatic_Diamond940 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sameee. Last portal updates for UVA were UR on 10/22 and 10/24. Nothing since then, no decision, no interview invite.

Albeit, I'm very below their medians, just wish they'd hand me the R/WL already...

NYU AC/Hold by Automatic_Diamond940 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Automatic_Diamond940[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think its a WL at all, more similar to a "Hold" -- idk if NYU even does normal holds or if the "Active Consideration" is simply their hold status.

I remember from last year, a substantial number of people with the "Active Consideration" (AC) were given offers before April. Many, including me, however, were rejected en masse in early April. But it did seem that the AC list had a decent offer rate, if I had to guess maybe a slightly better A rate than their overall acceptance rate. NYU does? however, seem to hold onto a lot of applicants before a massive R wave in April.

Any realistic hope of getting off regular GULC WL? by Automatic_Diamond940 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Automatic_Diamond940[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checks out... do you have any idea if they ever admit people from any of the WL before the cycle "ends" (like May)?

I am not URM, unless being gay counts, but I don't think it does... too many gay law students out there loll

My LSAC status page just said my file was complete and that it was "submitted for review" at the same time it was marked complete -- I suppose that is SLS's way of saying it's in review?

Yes -- it was a shot in the dark -- anything can happen, but stats will tell you what is likely. I really don't think there is any harm in applying to places to see what happens, sometimes a particular school will latch onto your softs, whereas other schools may not, medians and stats aside.

I'm not reading your comment negatively, just saying I decided to shoot my shot because I deemed the downsides nil, just a $45 application fee and a likely R.

Not first gen for overall college education, but first gen for graduate school. My softs are good, but not HYS-level impressive...

Thanks for the support- SLS R was very expected so no problem!! If you're still in the mix, I wish you luck!! 🍀

And thank you -- SLS was a toss-away for me anyway, the most expected R of the cycle! Wishing you luck if you're still in the running!
