@SuperficialBlueWeasel: The reality is you are likely behind a gaggle of Sept-Oct. applicants. THe schools are backed up with apps. Some are fast, others are really slow. Also some schools may have had adcoms retire/ shortage of cannonfadder app readers. Try to chill out/research the schools you have applied to so when you get an answer you can move quick and lock up a deal/

I was interested in applying to 'Bama law. Called them up, asked if they had any distant cousins attending their institution based on family name/ Ancestry.con DNA. They did not. I replied I was regrettably no longer interested in their institution.

@JuicyApple: Oh no doubt. Wouldn't you be perturbed if you rejected someone and they came back next year with a 'hey boo, its me again' ?

Yeah that’s def a real fear. I think too it puts people who have high stats but are going to reapply in a weird place because you can’t even improve the most important parts of your app

I'm sure it falls in the same category as retaking the LSAT: one more thing to be held against you.

JuicyApple
