Law School Discussion

A lot of people seem to be talking about Berkeley rejects.  Well they don't mail out rejection letters as soon as they know they are going to get rejected. I'm not sure if other schools do this as well. 

Well I got sick of waiting and kept on reading threads about Boalt and all that fun stuff.  So I just called them.  I am planning on sending a letter of continued interest/update letter to a school that I am waitlisted for and I figured that perhaps I could send one to Boalt as well if they hadn't decided my application yet. 

I spoke to a woman and told her this.  I was informed my application had been decided already and she asked me if I wanted to be informed of my decision. (I wonder if anyone would say no?) So I was rejected unfortunately. 

Someone comfort me hahah. 

Okay so I am currently on two waitlists from schools in the 20-30 range.  Obviously, I am banking on withdrawals.  Since each person is now applying to more schools, more students will be rejecting schools as well.  Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that schools are likely to go to their waitlists if their percentage of people who accept their admission offers do in fact go down. 

That being said, someone who is going to go to HYS but still applied to all the T14s is going to start withdrawing from those T14s.  People who are on the waitlists on T14 schools will get bumped up when enough people reject their admissions offers because they end up going to higher ranked schools.  This opens up spots on the waiting lists from schools on the next level down...and so on and so on. 

So the best way for everyone to find out where they are going at some point before August is to have people at the top withdraw as soon as they know for sure they are not going to a specific school.  If they do that, then the cycle I described above will begin and people at all levels will be bumped up. 

Does this make sense or am I moron who has nothing to do at work today?

I just got waitlisted from one of my top schools and I guess given my numbers it is something to be happy about.  How can I increase my chances of getting off of that waitlist and into the school?  Should I send an update about an internship I have recently gotten or a list of continued interest?  Thanks for the help.
