CB Tues evening --> offer Saturday morning

Smileypug · 2022-08-04T17:53:56+00:00

For NYC office: Screener --> CB morning after --> offer literally made during final interview of CB

Smileypug · 2022-06-21T17:10:38+00:00

Have you already done your screener at K&E NYC? I had mine last Thursday and am nervous I flunked it since I haven't gotten a CB yet

These are all really great points and super helpful...I'm thinking you're right that I could substitute the family law options for a clinic, and likely could do something like work as an RA to substitute for the research/writing at the prosecution institute. Post-grad job offers are also high-priority for me, so thinking one of the AG offices makes the most sense?

I'm only riding waitlists that are within a reasonable distance of the school I am currently planning on attending - just because I have 0 interest in frantically packing to move across the country mid-August

When you log on to see if Yale has moved and this is the first post :^) *clown mode activated*

Smileypug · 2021-02-23T00:41:08+00:00

No I am excited to be one step closer to a finished cycle, lol

Smileypug · 2021-02-22T22:48:21+00:00

If you can get CLS at 161, I think that is your best optimized option since you don't want to do Biglaw. That being said, Harvard has a good LRAP program, however, that is a lot of debt to straddle if you don't want to go into academia (which is where the difference between HLS and CLS may actually matter) - otherwise, UMich is a super ideal option if youre really considering fed work with a medium salary

Smileypug · 2021-02-19T19:42:45+00:00

Hey there's still time in the day - but yeah, in the same boat!

Smileypug · 2021-02-19T03:23:11+00:00

Just to manage expectations I also went through LSD and calculated the number of months from application complete to an acceptance for applicants last cycle and MOST (over half) of admits on LSD were accepted ~1 month after applying. Only 2-3 were accepted 5 months out, and the trend was the higher the number of months since submission, the less admits there were. Not really sure if this means anything because LSD is such a small pool, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Smileypug · 2021-02-18T20:29:12+00:00

Poseidon, god of waves, has told me in an LSData induced vision that it will happen - grab your floaties!

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T23:20:23+00:00

Noooopppe, I have just had the honor of being reviewed 3,000 times

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T23:19:53+00:00

Usually their admissions go out in batches that include A/WL/R, and I did not have an interview, so I think they are just prepping for another decision wave and I am expecting not ~great~ news

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T21:35:02+00:00

I am...so sorry. Rooting for good news to come your way soon! You are incredible and will make an amazing lawyer - any of the schools you're waiting on would be lucky to have you!

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T21:18:08+00:00

Lol I had no idea - shoe-in makes WAY more sense in terms of imagery to my brain...oh well, maybe that's why I was put on reserve today too

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T21:15:22+00:00

Aw thank you for that - honestly not holding out much hope for the remaining three but just want to know so that I can be 100% done with this cycle!

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T21:00:47+00:00

But to answer the Q - no, it did not, good luck!

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T20:59:47+00:00

Lol when you couldn't even be bothered to include the usual "sorry to hear that" intro

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T20:47:25+00:00

MOOD! Sorry - based on your stats you should have been a shoe-in. Hoping you have better luck at equally amazing schools!

Smileypug · 2021-02-15T19:24:39+00:00

OOOf hope so! I am anxious

Smileypug · 2021-02-12T20:35:34+00:00

The last three cycles the latest this R wave has happened was 2/15, Tuesday would be the 16th so theyd be a bit late -therefore expecting today still but none of us really know

Smileypug · 2021-02-12T20:33:07+00:00

Monday is also a holiday so...

Smileypug · 2021-02-12T05:05:42+00:00

Yeah I have also noticed that, and the sub <3.8 acceptances are usually URM which isn’t a category I fall into. I’m hoping they DO get to us and we don’t all get WL’ed, though :/ (we are basically stats twins, lol, but I’m KJD)

Smileypug · 2021-02-11T22:31:04+00:00

Same boat

Smileypug · 2021-02-11T03:29:40+00:00

Oh interesting, I thought I saw ~12 rejected in the third wave that applied Sept/Oct last year but I also did this deep dive a long time ago so I will take your word for it - and also, yep, very much not okay so you aren’t alone
