Law School Applications / The problem with an LOCI
« on: February 18, 2008, 02:08:16 AM »
Does anyone else think that when you send an LOCI you come off as a bit too savvy vis-a-vis the application process? And couldn't this savviness make some schools think that you're good at playing the admissions game, which would also mean you're good at bullshitting them? In other words, because most people are told about LOCIs from places like LSD, wouldn't a school be right to assume that you spend a lot of time on such websites, with all the accompanying associations?

Law School Applications / Deferrals on LSN
« on: February 13, 2008, 05:01:29 PM »
I've noticed that a lot of people who got deferrals last year didn't write if they were later rejected or accepted. Are we supposed to assume that they were in fact rejected?
