Jack I didn’t apply ED and I have one too 😭 what does it mean

@babycat: I mean I don’t think someone is smarter than me because of where I chose to go for undergrad, but I guess I don’t want to be looked down upon and I assume that’s what will happen.

ya worthless they probs started looking at ur app earlier then

jackfrost11770

21:22

since they review ed as a collective pool

@texaslawhopefully: In all seriousness some people might do that if they’re assholes but does it matter? Not everyone’s going to be like that, you just have to meet the right people

[] texaslawhopefully

21:27

Yes, that’s 100 percent true, thank you :)!

The best was YLS sending me an email about some like public school grad club at the law school. It was unbelievably condescending.

no worrying ab apps on a friday night allowed

@texaslawhopefully: dude I went to that webinar and it was so funny watching the girl with a 165 shut down the other guy who said the only way to get into Yale from a state school is to max out your LSAT

[] texaslawhopefully

21:30

@babycat: damn, I kinda wish I went now loll

babycat

21:34

agreed though the idea that state schools are so underrepresented at Yale that they’re a diversity group is insane

[] texaslawhopefully

21:35

Exactly. The fact that YLS cares so much about where you went to undergrad, vis a vis faculty review, is awful imo

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

21:35

I will say that other grad schools at Yale aren’t like that!

babycat

https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/comments/yx9glc/yls_undergrad_institution_representation/?rdt=34885 I keep joking that uconn is a yls feeder school

[] texaslawhopefully

21:39

Hey, it's doing better than most schools--so maybe it's not a joke.

[] texaslawhopefully

21:40

90 people from Yale undergrad is insane, though. I feel like no other law school is that homogenous (even like H/S) and that has to be in part because of faculty review.

babycat

21:40

https://law.yale.edu/admissions/profiles-statistics nvm found an updated link this is pissing me off. how the fuck do you not admit one student from the flagship school of your state?? wtf????

[] texaslawhopefully

21:43

It is truly ridiculous

JumpySubsequentDolphin

21:44

who did the person w a 155 fuck to get in there

JumpySubsequentDolphin

21:44

and can I fuck them too

Eggan

21:47

they probably had the 4.27 gpa lol

babycat

21:47

I just have so much trouble believing that not one person who attended public school in CT was as qualified as the 90 yale students they let in. This is so regressive

JumpySubsequentDolphin

21:47

babycat you give umich vibes

babycat

21:48

umich is going to waitlist me. I ran the numbers and my odds of getting in go up significantly if my LSAT is three to four points lower lol

shaquilleoatmeal

21:48

poppin in before heading out - my undergrad isn't represented by any t40s lol rip me

[] texaslawhopefully

21:49

@babycat: For sure. I do think this is why faculty review is a terrible idea. The faculty have to be unbelivably biased towards (a) Yale undergrads (b) other top schools.

[] texaslawhopefully

21:49

If you did really impressive stuff and have high stats, then why does it matter that you went to a state school??

shaquilleoatmeal

21:52

quotas ^ connections, you'd be surprised how much all this matters in the background

21:53

i miss when i was naive to these things when I was younger, ignorance really is bliss lol as you grow up and work you realized how the gears turn in certain systems

I actually met a YLS professor but I think I scared him by being too eager. oh well you live and you learn
