what im leaning toward now is just going to school since im pretty happy w WashU + their scholly offer and if i happen to do well academically maybe apply to transfer up

Sorry I meant just reapplying but used the R & R acronym because I鈥檓 tired haha. So for what it鈥檚 worth I worked/work with someone who was recruited by the aclu and went to Harvard but passed on that opportunity for their job as one of around 30 people running the county. Out of those 30 people I think this person is the only or one of the only people who went to an Ivy League school (Harvard). I don鈥檛 t know if they all went to college even.

What is my point we because were applicants really overemphasize the importance of where we go to school for outcomes imo. That being said if it means enough to you and you can do it then don鈥檛 live life with regrets because that鈥檚 pointless.

We鈥檙e* another good exercise though to figure out if you really want to do this is to consider how you would feel if you completely fail or have worse results next cycle. If it would still be worth it to you and you wouldn鈥檛 feel like you did the wrong thing by reapplying then obviously there鈥檚 your answer.

Wash U is obviously an awesome school but disagree about the transfer options @wasp I鈥檇 think it鈥檇 be hard to transfer out because you鈥檙e pitting yourself against some of the nation鈥檚 brightest law school students

thats a good point, I was jut considering prestige not how competitive it is

Pretty crazy to think everybody there virtually either has a 4.0 or 99th percentile lsat score

@manifestT14acceptances: also to add on to my already way too many words everything happens now! So a year working you could be helping people/getting experience/ developing relationships that will mean the world for you when you鈥檙e an attorney. It鈥檚 nbd to me at least. Interesting work is awesome!

there are plenty of reasons people take birth control it would be whack for your pharmacist to judge you for it even if you did go to high school with them

@ara and wasp that makes sense thanks i think i just like working over being a student so every time my brain gets a chance to contemplate procrastinating another degree it takes that chance and ~runs with it~

@manifestT14acceptances: Idk if you saw my message the other day. What were your thoughts on the current waitlist situation?
dkkm10
16:34
anyone can answer really.
manifestT14acceptances
16:35
oh i dont think i did see your message. you mean like all waitlists in general or specific schools or..?
dkkm10
16:37
yeah just in general unless you know anything about one of the specific schools I am waitlisted at. I will take that info.
manifestT14acceptances
16:42
i mean in general i think there should be more movement soon but i think it would be less movement than we saw like early may-ish

16:43
Ahh alright. What I was expecting too. 6 more days and I start studying the LSAT again.
manifestT14acceptances
16:46
but when i think about it it seems like at least one t14 still gearing up to make some admissions decisions soon, and GULC, WashU, and Vandy havent made as many wl>a admissions as people thought they would/as they normally would. if they end up admitting a bunch of people soon then it makes sense to think a lot of spots beyond the t20 would open up. granted maybe they just overadmitted or something but that would still be surprising.
manifestT14acceptances
16:48
also UCLA and USC's second deposit deadline is soon and if they end up admitting from their waitlists then that would also free up more spots somewhere
manifestT14acceptances
16:49
i personally am choosing to remain optimistic about all waitlists rn but im also biased because i am also in a place where i would welcome a wl>a from certain schools hehe
dkkm10
16:50
Sounds good!
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:22
yeah i doubt they overadmitted, adcoms usually don鈥檛 mess up that badly
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:22
there are certainly a lot of wl>a coming
manifestT14acceptances
17:28
yeah what was said i think i was being overly pessimistic in my first response
