That's awesome! I don't think I got anything, lol. Did get a call from a 2L this morning, asking if I have any questions though
14:48
Mine went up 1,500/year, underwhelming lol
15:31
Did they email you, or did you just see it in your portal?
11:02
Should we expect a wave this week?
Really upset that I was flat out rejected with a 172 lsat and 3.2 gpa Applied back in October
Thought I'd be at least waitlisted
13:01
@ExpensiveDemonicFaun: Ugh, sorry to hear that! That is crazy - maybe YP for your LSAT score? But yeah, I'd expect at least a WL too.
13:01
This cycle has been wild
lol, how do I get a scholarship reconsideration if I have no other A's
I was hoping to get 75%+
dog
13:07
They only reconsider if you can provide comparably ranked school scholarshps
13:13
@ColossalLuckyInsect: same. I'm gonna try after ASW anyway
13:13
I'll probably say I haven't heard back from comparable schools but that I find W&L so compelling that I'd deposit immediately for a bit more or something like that
13:14
No harm in trying
13:16
They also did a few unsolicited increases recently. Maybe they'll do more after deposit deadlines. I'm planning to deposit if I don't hear back from UNC or get the WL.

Damn W&L employment stats for 2022 look nice
15:44
Yeah, they're were saying 98% total employment at ASD (JD and JD-preferred)
15:45
they*
15:45
Pretty crazy
Lets Go!
Did you receive an email or mail for your status?
anyone know what the cost of tuition is going to be?
dog
20:54
its all in the 509 report
Did you receive an email or mail for your status?
8:37
I got an email when I was accepted, but the status checker updated around the same time
yeah they sent me an email and said they would also send something in the mail
14:23
Yep, I got a letter a couple of days ago - I was accepted on 2/15, lol.
21:28
Hey everyone, I am a rising 2L and want to wish you all the best luck in the closing month of this cycle. Law school admissions can be brutal.
21:32
@ColossalLuckyInsect: W&L is great
