I just noticed that UMich has the majority of their acceptances really early on. Does anyone know what happens to mid-November applicants? Are we just cooked?

TGM

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades

TGM

18:27

dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before

Dkk

18:32

@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.

Dkk

18:33

Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.

Dkk

18:34

@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.

18:34

@wigwav: nah

TGM

18:34

like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it

Dkk

18:35

@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.

Is your LSAT also below median?

TGM

18:37

It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough

texaslawhopefully

18:38

Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it

texaslawhopefully

18:38

For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision

TGM

18:39

@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)

cheriebomb

18:39

Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability

TGM

18:40

I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that

TGM

18:41

(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)

TGM

18:41

not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse

cheriebomb

18:41

I think I just wouldn’t reach out and if they ask for them then say that

Dkk

18:41

@tgm Yeah sounds good, say that if they ask
