Law School Discussion

Call me an optimist, but from the email:

Because each application is carefully and independently reviewed by up to four readers, you may hear from us later than many other law schools.  You should receive a final decision by mid-April.

and the attached FAQ:

When are decisions made?
The bulk of our decisions go out from mid-March to mid-April with our goal to have all
decisions made by April 15.

In combination, these seem to me to suggest that most eventually accepted applicants (i.e. those falling in the "bulk of decisions" who haven't yet heard) would have received this email. I'm going to choose to take it as very good news.

Appreciate the (somewhat backhanded) compliment nerfco , but I think it's relevant to some degree. For one thing, my numbers wouldn't be 3.94/178 if I was at U of T (or, hell, even at Queen's), they'd probably be more like 3.8 or 3.7/178.

Second, I think the difference in quality and prestige (however measured) between WLU and UW is far greater than that between UW and U of T. As far as American schools are concerned, WLU might as well be Bob and Doug's School of Igloo Repair. They'll probably have heard of UW (particularly those schools with good IP programs), and they'll probably have heard of U of T. But I sincerely doubt they'll know the difference.

In any case, just my two cents, based on my own -- obviously limited -- experience. Nerfco's point is certainly a valid one though, so discount accordingly.

That unctuous guy. I suppose you're right though, probably fine.

Thanks.
