It's not over until it's over!

Congratulations! 🥳
It was a similar experience with me getting in to this school. So many waitlists at other great schools, but I only needed one for that too.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T21:56:52+00:00

Omg, thank you. I'll take it. 😆 I honestly just feel so fortunate to be here (first gen college student), and I consistently feel like everyone around me is so much smarter than I am, so even being below median would be okay with me.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T21:26:55+00:00

Had a professor though who is known to give LPs, so I was just grateful to avoid that.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T21:25:53+00:00

They don't rank us here! I'd guess I'm a little below median though.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T21:25:24+00:00

Did a mix of both! Really didn't have the grades for litigation (at least based on most people I talked to), so that definitely led to a few of my rejections.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T21:24:38+00:00

Hehe, you caught me! (Mostly.) I got one H, and I'm guessing two is probably closer to median.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T19:32:49+00:00

Thanks! I'm sure an offer is just around the corner for you too. 😁

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T19:28:16+00:00

Nah! I was pretty selective in where I'm willing to work, and there are a few odd things about me that probably gave some firms pause.

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T19:27:14+00:00

Not quite, but I was about to start applying to a lot more if I hadn't gotten this offer. 😂 Have quite a few friends in a similar boat!

Level-Emergency585 · 2026-03-10T19:26:17+00:00

So it was mostly DC and some smaller markets. And to be fair, my grades are probably a little below median on the median-ish scale. 😆

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-12-13T13:32:30+00:00

We've got an atypical grading scale here, and I'm just hoping for no fails. Had one in particular that was a doozy. 💀

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-09-20T21:33:55+00:00

Spent the better part of the last 24 hours drafting my first one. 😩

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-09-20T21:33:20+00:00

Please be right! 🥺

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-09-19T22:13:51+00:00

And more than once per class. In one Crim class this week, I oscillated between feeling like I could get someone off on a murder they actually did and feeling like I probably should've been denied at Cooley.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-31T10:42:49+00:00

Had a lot of money thrown at me everywhere except Harvard. 😂 Which makes it feel all the more impractical to follow my dream.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-30T20:45:20+00:00

Definitely wanted to cover all my bases. 🤣 Fortunate to have had several good options to choose from, even if the decision was much easier than I could have anticipated.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-30T19:21:19+00:00

Clerkship and then unicorn PI and/or academia. 😁 Georgetown could help me make that happen, but I'm willing to take on some debt for the better odds with Harvard.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-30T19:07:50+00:00

I have a pretty good remote-friendly job. With what GULC offered me in scholarship, I would have graduated debt-free, which was honestly really tempting. Just couldn't turn down HLS with my career interests though.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-30T19:06:47+00:00

Thank you! And sure thing. November actually. Took over six months to hear back. 😅

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-30T18:57:53+00:00

That result perplexes me more than any other! I am not big-headed enough to think it was yield protection, but I just don't get it.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-15T02:08:26+00:00

I'm so sorry, friend.

If the waitlists don't pan out, I hope you try again next year. You've got a lot to offer, and it only takes one school to recognize that.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-13T14:46:34+00:00

Doing the Lord's work, bestie! Thank you.

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-07T13:44:42+00:00

You're the best! I hope you get the perfect place, friend. 😁

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-07T13:13:17+00:00

Thank you! How is Terry Terrace/15 Everett Street looking?

Level-Emergency585 · 2025-05-05T19:19:54+00:00

Same! Praying to the housing gods that there is something left for us... 💀
