Tell us what's important to you
Would you guys say that last weeks feeler + today's reconfirmation email should be taken as a positive sign? Or is it likely everyone on the WL got these?
I did not get a reconfirmation email last week but I got the email today say my confirmation on the email remains. UDUB is my top school so I hope its a good sign
@mamabigbucks: makes sense. maybe that's been a big holdup, telling people there isn't any money and giving people a chance. here's hoping to some news for everyone ahead of the 4th.
Hump day and no movement yet it seems... Manifesting tomorrow!
11:10
is there some sort of admitted students discord for uw
7/21 - putting date for anyone coming back later. reached out again, no movement, no timeline for news. Person said they should know more by 8/1.
7/23 - I just got an email saying my app status has been updated. The waitlist message is no longer there. “A decision has been rendered” message is. Crossing my fingers that it’s an A but I guess it could just as likely be a R.
7/31 - surely we get an early August update soon *cries*
8/12 - I heard that they'll likely look back at the waitlist in the next 2-3 weeks. I'm really hoping this means that some spots have opened up!
@LeftieWonderer: that would be amazing. also totally my luck considering i'd have started classes elsewhere.
Hoping for the best! It’s gonna be an R&R for me if they don’t let me in.
@ValorantSkinsAreTooExpensive: Same here. I hope an acceptance, if it's coming, comes out soon. With the October LSAT registration deadline next week, I'd like to know I'm getting in before paying $238 for a test I don't need to take... T-T
oh wow...movement! Let's see what happens.
8/28 - called last Friday and got through. Asked if they were still anticipating WL movement and they said yes. This is brutal and I wish they’d just send me the R so I could stop holding onto hope haha.
No way they're still holding on? I'm through my first week of classes...like wtf guys.
8/30 - got an email confirming the class is full. However, they said they will fill a seat if a spot opens by orientation on 9/16 and I was asked to fill out a survey to indicate if I want to remain on the waitlist. I said yes (ofc), but I imagine it’s near impossible a spot opens up at this point. R&R it is :(
i would say to expect 1, possibly 2, seats to open at this point. highly unlikely, although i suspect they are also hoping to trim the waitlist to 10 max.
Yeah that makes sense! Fingers crossed behind my back, but I’m moving on mentally.
@ValorantSkinsAreTooExpensive: I'm there with you. Holding on to the possibility but acting as if it won't happen~
(9/7) So somebody posted that they were Accepted/Withdrew on 9/5… What does this mean? Did they have a spot in the class and just recently withdrew??
I wonder if today is our last chance or if on Monday there will be some people who don’t show up to orientation and they let some WL people in? Lol.
Haha, we’ll see. If I get a call Monday, I’m prepared to leave work and come running~ 😆
hahaha. I hope you get in! Truly. It makes me sad to think they would have a few of us waiting all this time just to not get in. Someone is going to get a call, I’m manifesting it.
Thanks, I'll be manifesting it, too. It's been a rough cycle for lots of us~
I am not paying for LSD+ just to DM the two of you Leftie and Valorant, but if you are looking for something interesting, there is a certain person on a certain panel on 10/24 at 9am at the Westin on 5th ave that may be valuable to meet, if you have any admin law or civ pro interest (or could manifest some for the purpose of networking).
Do with it what you will. ;)
Sounds like something worth looking into~
Have anyone here taken AI Law by Professor Nguyen?
11/26/24 - went UR5 today. 5 is so many reviews lol
12/4 got innnnnn
LSD+ is ad-free, with DMs, discounts, case briefs & more.
