@ImpartialLion: I missed the NYU wave though and no YLS invite

[] texaslawhopefully

15:57

I am sure we will all get into great places

ImpartialLion

15:57

I feel like NYU will come with time and it's a mess due to app increases. YLS is such a weird invite tho. 30% conversion rate

ImpartialLion

I did! Don't wanna dox myself. But essentially my PS was about a situation with my parents n going thru college completely independently. Wrote ab family in Chicago who provided me with a home during some turbulent times. I thought it was a decent Why Chicago

ImpartialLion

mine was very generic and we have similar numbers

babycat

16:02

I like that Chicago specifically says don't recite shit from our website

ImpartialLion

16:02

I'm hoping so. I feel like my PS might've been too personal or too whiney. I feel like it either hits or totally whiffs depending on who reads it

UVA loved it, but HLS and Chicago don't seem to love it as much
