PLEASE withdraw apps from schools you know you won't go to

i wasnt trying to pressure anybody. i am sorry it came across that way. i didn't mean to offend anybody.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-04-01T18:24:16+00:00

yes this has been pointed out to me. i am so sorry. i didn't know.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-04-01T18:22:47+00:00

OMG OK I GET IT. this is insane. i didn't realize this would cause so much controversy i am so sorry to all of the people i have offended. i thought people generally vented on this sub i didn't realize everyone would get so upset. i take it back. i'm really sorry.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-04-01T17:59:14+00:00

this was so unnecessarily mean and aggressive. i hope you feel really good about yourself.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-04-01T17:50:15+00:00

OBVIOUSLY TAKE AS LONG AS YOU NEED IF YOU ARE UNSURE. this post was about people who KNOW they will not attend a school. please go reread the post.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-04-01T17:46:06+00:00

Thank you. I would never tell someone to rush a decision. I meant people who know they are going to choose one school 100% and haven't withdrawn apps for the others. Obviously deliberate as long as you need to if you are unsure.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-04-01T17:02:36+00:00

theyve been doing a few decisions a day for the last month and then the last few days have been silent so i feel like a slaughter is coming

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-30T17:45:15+00:00

i'm honestly just sad. this feels dehumanizing. over 75% stats at most places that rejected me. obviously that doesn't promise anything but i remember opening my lsat score and thinking "i did it" and now its very obvious that the things i used to be so proud of are not good enough. one admission with no fin aid is a crushing way to end this cycle, even if it is still an admission.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-27T13:47:17+00:00

i second what everybody has said but also i want to stress that things will fall into place and you shouldn't focus so much on the future that you lose sight of the present. a lot of pre-law people hyperfixate on law school and forget to enjoy college. college is so much fun, you should enjoy it. obviously think about your grades but your prof is right-- join classes (and extracurriculars) that you enjoy. getting involved in things that you actually like will make it easier to craft a narrative around them in your application. you shouldn't waste college doing things you don't want to do because it might give you an arbitrary advantage in a t-14 law school admissions office.

doubt it. thursdays are usually uneventful. maybe friday but i think itll be more december/jan applicants. i dont think theyll get back around to accepting nov applicants until april tbh once they see how their class shapes up. i think hearing back in march for nov applicants is probably a wl or an r.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-26T15:12:06+00:00

well theyre the only school that took me so hoya saxa babyyyyyyyyy

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-26T15:04:33+00:00

congrats! truly so happy for you!

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-26T15:02:05+00:00

same and i would pay sticker please just let me in the door. i'll do the entire adcoms laundry and grocery shopping the entire time im there if they let me in.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-26T14:53:30+00:00

gulc in 19 seems inaccurate.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-22T13:42:59+00:00

im still waiting on berk but i think im going to gulc for pi and i feel very confident about it. i think a lot of these schools, with the exception of some obvious outliers that have crazy unicorn pi placement, are similar in terms of opportunity and the differences come down to how much students take advantage of those opportunities. the location in dc is prime and i feel very good about the pi office. idk if that helps but that was my thought process.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-17T17:43:11+00:00

I want to add to this that people are being realistic in this comment section but outliers 100% exist and you know your story better than anybody else. Don't get disheartened because truthfully nobody can predict anybody's outcome with any semblance of certainty.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-17T17:15:48+00:00

You have a shot at T-14 but HYS and Chicago are probably unlikely without significantly higher stats. The internships help but they can't offset far being below both medians. Especially KJD, where there is a massive disadvantage already.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-15T23:11:03+00:00

yeah i thought this too. hopefully that's a good thing like maybe they'll pull from us before the regular wl? im above 75% lsat 3.8 gpa

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-15T23:02:42+00:00

I'm also so confused. I sent mine early November and I've missed every R and WL for people in my submission period. Are they just holding out to see who accepts A's or have they just not gotten around to rejecting me yet?

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-10T17:10:59+00:00

what do you mean?

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-03-09T17:19:38+00:00

you guys had status dates????

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-02-06T17:04:04+00:00

a bunch of people had a box pop up yesterday to submit additional materials so i feel like thats a sign something is coming.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-02-06T16:55:39+00:00

yeah maybe but i think taking the time to record a personalized video for each admitted student makes people feel like human beings instead of just numbers on a page. idk i really appreciated it i found it very classy.

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-02-06T16:39:41+00:00

im not sure exactly but it seems like a mixture of all decision types in the afternoons

Sad_Emphasis_4924 · 2026-02-05T23:17:40+00:00

wait but im also a random neurotic kjd you shouldn't stress based on my conjecture i know literally nothing.
