@TurboSplitter: yield protection?

Dkk

12:40

@TurboSplitter: Why hold and not wl?

TurboSplitter

12:40

Idk, supposedly W&L are doing holds a ton this cycle

TurboSplitter

12:41

Suspect it's due to the insane uptick in volume

Dkk

12:41

@windyMagician: So nice of you Windy. I appreciate it.

TurboSplitter

12:41

My theory is they're not convinced I'd go there if accepted and are trying to weed out people applying as a "safety"

TurboSplitter

12:41

But that could easily just be cope lol

Dkk

12:42

Send them an email or LOCI I guess. Holds usually mean they want more info. Find out what they want.

windyMagician

12:42

plus we're gonna be lawyer's club suite mates at mich

Dkk

12:43

@windyMagician: Lol it would be nice to go to Mich. UCLA did not want me though so I think I may be out of the t14's. We will see though!

12:43

The lawyers club seems so cool, I got to see it when I toured

bunnynoise

12:43

How to tell if the deli guy is in love with you or just really friendly

Dkk

12:44

@bunnynoise: In love? Nah, in lust.

bunnynoise

12:44

He just brought me a soup and told me he wanted me to try it

TurboSplitter

12:45

He's gonna propose tomorrow for sure

Dkk

12:45

He loves you.

Dkk

12:45

It's love at first soup.

windyMagician

12:46

just realized a bunch of ppl from my gulc interview are in the Mich admitted students GroupMe... are we all gonna be cross admits

oakenrays

12:46

hey pals: how do we feel about GPA addendum not making any excuse just saying I screwed up and am different now? lot of conflicting advice online

windyMagician

12:47

@oakenrays: it depends. do you have any concrete evidence that you

windyMagician

12:47

're different now?

oakenrays

12:47

years of legal work experience with glowing LORs from my bosses, LSAT

Dkk

12:47

@windyMagician: Tell em to pick a school so everyone else can get some A's.

oakenrays

12:47

basically

windyMagician

12:48

I had extenuating circumstances throughout college (as opposed to just one shitty semester) that I talked about in my gpa addendum but i thought were a little weak; I explained those and talked about what I should have done differently, and pointed to my LSAT and grad program as better evidence of my academic potential

Dkk

12:48

@oakenrays: Yeah I would say that I developed a work ethic and am different in whatever ways these days but that's about it. Maybe 4 sentences max in a small addendum.

oakenrays

12:49

yeah sweet. No circumstances just didn't take it seriously which I obviously regret

windyMagician

12:49

@Dkk: I don't think any of us have heard back yet. Dean Andy said mid January or perhaps february

Dkk

12:50

Oh I reread, I see what you said. My bad. Only on like 4 hours of sleep. Will sleep soon.
