Wild that NYU doesn't have enough staff to deliver decisions in a timely fashion, but they can offer dozens of interviews to people they've kept in limbo for months.

Is it helpful to visit a law school’s campus on the WL? (I’ll be in the city this summer anyways so it’s pretty low stakes in terms of money/travel time)
my fordham WL email has verb noun agreement errors...

@PreviousSwelteringQuail: Hard to say. Some schools don't care or aren't organized in a way that a visit translates into interest. It won't hurt your chances, and it may be worth visiting just to see if you really can picture yourself there.

@PreviousSwelteringQuail: it does not help

Also if anyone cares, it seems spivey was right that we will see more Wairlist movement. UCLA and UVA are the only T14 that have truly been through their waitlists and both have already taken way more students than last year at this point. Definitely something to watch!
fwiw that's how its been for every school i withdrew from, or something like "application cancelled"
Both GW and Maine did respond to my withdrawal from them. BC and OSU did not.
anyone know if pre Aug 2024 LSAT writing can still be used after Aug 2024. haven't seen anything to the contrary but...

UCLA's waitlist volume seems similar? 10 people logged a WL -> A result last cycle, 11 people this cycle
21:20
Scratch that, exactly 10 each cycle
21:21
Although it looks like half of UCLA's waitlist As last cycle (5/10) came in June or later, so looking more closely waitlist volume does seem up for UCLA
I got an email from Emory's Office of Financial aid saying they received my aid application. The email also said "Log into OPUS, Emory's student portal, to review our online service offerings and to review your To Do activities, important messages from the Office of Financial Aid, and later in the application cycle, your aid package and disbursement dates." I haven't been accepted (I'm waitlisted), does or did everyone receive this?
nvm should have read the bottom of the email

@Ijustwannagetinman: what did you write in your email?
i wanna get off a waitlist right NEOW 🗣️

Hi - wondering people's thoughts on Hofstra law. They've given me full tuition but I'd have to maintain above 50% to keep it all. The thought of it is literally making me anxious and sick
That’s Predatory i wouldnt do it

50% of hofstra students lose their conditional scholarships after 1L according to lawschooltransparency
