Law School Applications / Re: Chinese and law« on: March 13, 2008, 12:33:05 PM »
The only thing i can think of is that Chinese might be useful in some type of immigration law. I know the government is interested in people that speak chinese.

Law School Applications / Re: Any success stories/advice about getting from deferral to acceptance?« on: March 12, 2008, 03:33:45 PM »I am on hold at my #1 choice as well. I stopped by the admissions office and handed in a LOCI including my commitment to attend if accepted as well as an updated resume (the only thing different is a little extra volunteering) and I am having 3 new reccomenders write me new LOR's specifically tailored to the school. Good Luck! (and if anyone has any additional advice, it is greatly appreciated!) I wouldn't think so. I think that schools probably mean it when they set a limit on LORs, regardless of how long a period they are spread over. I actually read an interview with I think it was the dean of Boalt where he said basically that they don't even read them if you send too many and that it might actually hurt you. 113

To me its kind of like the homely girl trying to get the football star to go to prom with her. Stranger things have happened and it'd be nice, but really its a situation where time is better spent elsewhere and actually comes off as kind of pathetic.

Wow.....I wasn't really interested in Fordham anyway but I'm really glad I didn't apply now. That really pisses me off.

Law School Applications / Re: Iowa Hold Catagory« on: March 08, 2008, 06:00:50 PM »I talked to Byrd and basically if you are in-state and on the waitlist, you have a huge advantage. That's good news for me (assuming that also applies to the "hold" category"). 117

The hold is defintely better than the waitlist, however, things are looking worse and worse as far as I can tell. Normally, they make decisions on these before April 1st, which is not going to happen this year. I have heard that Byrd isn't even going to be looking at them until mid-April. The best thing I can tell you, is that if 50% of poeple go on the hold list, then I would estimate probably about 10% get in (this is only based on the fact that their acceptance rate is 39%). That's figuring that they accept 25% and reject 25% right off the bat. I don't think that's going to happen this year though, I'm pretty sure that the hold list is a death knoll this year.

Law School Applications / Re: What is with GW WLing people with their 75% LSAT and an okay (3.5~3.6) GPA« on: March 06, 2008, 01:54:53 PM »
I would prefer to know what is up with Iowa deferring people 3 points above their 75% LSAT and above their 25% GPA.

Law School Applications / Re: WVU decision...sort of« on: March 05, 2008, 05:02:40 PM »
This is different from a waitlist because you are being guaranteed a decision at some point, whereas with a waitlist you don't have any real decision til the day school starts. You can probably expect a decision shortly after their deadline for deposits, because basically what they're doing is waiting to see who all that they've accepted actually sends in deposits and is going to come. Once those deposits are in and they know if they have space left they may or may not admit you. There is no telling what your chances are at this point because it all depends on how many people decide to attend the school.
