Law School Applications / Decision Dates (2007-2008)« on: October 31, 2007, 04:08:50 AM »
Hi All!
So, seeing as the fee waiver thread is going to die at some point and I need continued procrastination in my life, I am going to try and start a decision dates thread for this cycle. So far, we have: Official list: Duke (priority track) - Sept 19 (e-mail) Miami - Oct 22 (snail-mail) Georgetown - Oct 30 (snail-mail) Minnesota - Nov 2 (phone) U of Texas - Nov 3 (snail-mail) FSU - Nov 9 (snail-mail) Not enough points yet: UCLA - Nov 7 (phone) - 2 points Samford - Oct 31 (snail-mail) - 2 points American - Nov 8 (snail-mail) - 3 points Now, for some ground rules to make this more sane. It seems to me that I'm going to have to put in some structure to make sure that the decisions noted here are real. So, here's my scheme for doing so: In order for a school to be listed in this post, it must rack up 6 points. Here are some point values: A user with 20-49 posts claims to have been accepted: 1 point. A user with 50-99 posts claims to have been accepted: 2 points. A user with 100+ posts claims to have been accepted: 3 points. For each legitimate-looking claim of acceptance on LSN: 1 point (up to 4 points). Users with a history of flaming don't count. If all of the points for a school get racked up within the space of 7 days, then the first day will count as official. Otherwise, the day of the earliest point-earning event within 7 days of the final points being earned will be what I list here. NB: I realize that this is insane and that you don't want to deal with it. That's okay - I'll figure it out. Just make sure to post if you get a decision that hasn't been added to the OP yet. I've designed the system so that at least one post here is required before the school can go on the list - LSN alone can't do it. I will start to monitor the LSN reports for a school as soon as someone claims to be accepted. I realize this may turn into a shitshow - let's play it by ear. Once a school has been added to this post, please don't post about your acceptance here. There are plenty of individual school threads and the 'Accepted Today' thread for you to express your excitement

Law School Applications / The case for sending LOR's (and other things) via FedEx« on: September 18, 2007, 03:10:23 PM »
There's an invaluable little lesson that I need to share with everyone:
If you can find any way to have something (including LOR's) sent to LSAC via FedEx, do it that way. I guess I should clarify that this only applies if you are, like most here, obsessed with everything being in and processed as quickly as possible. My reasons are as follows:
But ManTGeo, you say, how do I do this in terms of logistics? First, you need a FedEx account number - I got mine a long time ago, but I think it's an easy process that involves signing up on the website or by phone with a credit card. Then, you go online and create shipments corresponding to each document you need sent, making sure to change the sender address to the appropriate LOR sender in every case. It doesn't matter at all what date you put as the sending date, I promise. The system lets you print out a shipping document. Go to a local FedEx or a FedEx drop box and pick up an express envelope for every document you need to send, and put the shipping label in the appropriate plastic enclosure on the front of each. Then, just give the envelopes to your recommenders / whoever and have them enclose everything and sign the flap like they would with a normal envelope. They can just drop it in a FedEx drop box or give it to the department secretary or whatever. You'll be able to track the shipment because you created it, and LSAC will process it the day after it is delivered (in my experience, this has been the case for both LOR's I had sent this way). How much does it cost? Less than $15 per 3-day envelope in almost any case, and often less than than $12 for 2-day. And note that you don't get billed unless the label you printed is actually used, so there's no worry if you have to change things and discard an old label. 4

Law School Applications / Why does LSN break every five minutes?« on: July 15, 2007, 06:10:24 PM »
Does anyone know? Has this always been the case?
I spend so much time on there procrastinating that I would be willing to pay a nominal fee for an account that is not subjected to constant outages

Thanks! For those reading the thread and wondering what people mean when they refer to a 'hidden' fee, see page 81 of this thread. These waivers are not listed here. 8
Law School Applications / Getting Fee Waivers« on: July 02, 2007, 11:36:04 AM »
Hi all, first-time poster here,
I've read through past fee waiver roll call threads (esp http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org/prelaw/index.php/topic,68633.0.html ) and whatever other threads about fee waivers I could find, but I'm still wondering if there are any definitive answers on a couple of specific issues. I'm not personally too concerned with getting a huge number of fee waivers, but I noticed that these issues might still be open and I was hoping to get the answers together in one concise place for everyone's sake:
