@manifestT14acceptances: look up how much adcomms make lol they aren’t poor

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:05

Is it really that hard though

Ijustwannagetinman

14:06

Law school admissions isn’t really a thankless job though

Ijustwannagetinman

14:06

When u make A calls people cry tears of joy

Ijustwannagetinman

14:06

And you don’t have to talk to the are

I feel bad for the random students or whoever answering phones, but actual adcomms can kick rocks

Ijustwannagetinman

14:06

I’m sure it’s hard to hold someone’s fate in your hands though

[] rayraywa

14:06

@Ijustwannagetinman: thats true and a fair point. I just see so much negativity towards adcomms implying they are lazy, etc. the UVA adcomms literally work weekends

TediousSparrow

14:07

I'm sure they stick the newbies or interns or student employees with the worst jobs tbh, and then the actual adcoms only have to make A calls or don't interface with candidates at all

at least at UVA I think everybody is making well below 6 figures except the dean

jb2028

14:08

The people at the top deserve the flak, it's their job to set their processes and staffing so people hear back on a reasonable timeframe. The admin assistant answering the phones and the university bureaucrat processing your app/getting it ready for a read are cogs in a bureaucracy who make a middle-class salary and juggle an insane busy season

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:08

8/10 of the jobs listed on there aren’t adcoms

FranticSpiffySwallow

14:08

UVA adcoms are pretty efficient

FranticSpiffySwallow

14:09

The only adcoms I actually judge are those NY schools haha

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:09

I’m not mad at the student admissions counselor who’s doing it for 20 dollars an hour

[] rayraywa

14:09

@jb2028: their job is to give the law school the best possible candidate class, and unless the slow timeframe disadvantages that (which for some schools it does but at many top schools it does not) they are doing their job

FranticSpiffySwallow

14:10

@rayraywa: Completely unrelated, but did you have an easy time breaking into the boston market from UVA?

FranticSpiffySwallow

14:10

trynna do the same thing out of cornell

https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/new-york-city-admissions-officer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,13_IM615_KO14,32.htm don't get me wrong this is a service i paid for and i expect to receive timely/polite service but the idea that the person picking up the phone is rolling in it isn't supported

[] rayraywa

14:11

@FranticSpiffySwallow: I had a fairly easy time breaking into Boston but it was a different market

KermitTheHermit

14:11

Anyone have their BC status/substatus disappear a few days after going under review?

jb2028

14:11

Yes, I understand they don't prioritize faster responses unless it serves an institutional interest. I think flak from applicants who are frustrated with that is totally valid, even if I can see why schools gain little from prioritizing that

[] rayraywa

14:11

during my cycle it was still mostly OCI (not pre-oci) and I applied pre-oci which gave me an advantage as well

jb2028

14:12

(Or think they gain little, schools that do As in late April/after deposit deadlines probably will lose some admits who are mad over the wait)

FranticSpiffySwallow

14:12

Gotcha, appreciate the info!

@FranticSpiffySwallow: if you want to talk Boston big law, please DM me! happy to give my thoughts there rather than burden everybody here

The late April thing does seem like it's at least partly a result of The Historically Slow Cycle
