it was the standard thing about anything on your record but it went beyond and asked about any civil actions you've been involved in

where do you all check the status of the app?
pinkprincessxoxo
14:42
i haven't received a status checker email
@pinkprincessxoxo: I had that problem, I had to email an admission counselor named Bibi after 6 days of not getting a status checker
pinkprincessxoxo
11:50

is anybody worried that going to CUNY is going to severely restrict your job opportunities even if you want to only work in NYC?
@KaputGaudyRag: i looked at alums on linkedin to assuage my fears about this, you're def limited to a certain extent but plenty of people move to non-PI firms/gov agencies

Y'all I think I was rejected on a bias. Yesterday CUNY had an open zoom forum and I spoke to an admissions counselor in efforts to hear about student experience. I have various law experiences and emphasized how I don't know what I am interested in and I'm open to public interest. Today I got the decision
KaputGaudyRag

idk they seem super committed to public interest route so maybe they did get turned off by you saying that
KaputGaudyRag

but it's also possible that there just might have been a wave
14:08
yes. I wrote in personal statement that I want to work in corporate law field. THey rejected me despite my median gpa and lsat was way higher than median scores.
