Trying to get in UC Law School after undergrad
@UnevenInstinctiveSeal: Don't give up yet, they are still doing interviews (I have mine tomorrow)
Thanks! But considering my interview was over 3 months ago and I applied 5 months ago, it's hard to be hopeful. I'm expecting a WL/R I just don't know why I keep missing those waves.
