Hi, I've just read the whole story.
I've received a call from Ms. Dino last week (4/march), I'm in, but I am in process of applying for financial aid so I am still a little worried. It is very probable that they've called us before...

I just called the Graduate Programs Office to find out.
They've told me that not all decisions have been made. I asked her "that means that some of them have already been made then?". She said "yes". She told me that we should wait until next week and that still have chances of being admitted.

I again made YLS a phone call a few minutes back. They repeated that decisions shall be made next week. However, they did not deny that some, though not all, candidates might have been informed by phone. Interestingly, they also said that all the candidates shall be informed simultaneously by mail next week.

I think there is no 'hoax' theory here; just some confusion because of the unclear and selective communication emnating from YLS office.

I would again congratulate all the candidates who have received phone calls; and others may just relax and wait for their decision by next week.

I have chosen to delete my posts, change my username and remove myself from this absurd discussion. The level of paranoia is ridiculous.
I understand many are anxious to receive news from YLS but c´mon relax.


I think Alex is right. This thread reminds me of last year's witch hunt "Beware of frauds ("Kay" is not an HLS student)" - www.llm-guide.com/board/28785 - where the prosecutor (LLM-Guide veteran "josepidal") became the accused and never showed up in the board again.

I think Alex, and all other YLS admitted who deleted their posts after this discussion are right in doing that. Personally, I believe that this forum is ment for LLM applicants to share their experiences with eachother in an informal way. And although in the past a case of fraud came out, I don´t think it is right to call the graduate admission officer from any law school to " quote the information given on this thread about the calls received by candidates on March 7th". Such informal and personal quotes can damage a forum user who uses a nickname or other information that can identify him/her. That´s my opinion and congratulations to all!

Hi Guys,

I am sorry to disappoint the "conspiracy theory" believers, but it was not a joke. I know everybody is very stressed (I have been there too) but that isn't a good reason to attack people who share news (nor the admission officers!!). You should know that if you worked hard in the past and made a good application, the good news should come soon.

Please, if you don't believe it, keep it to yourselves and stop writing me. To the other YLS admitted, congratulations and let's meet in another forum.

I had the same concern that EL80 has now.

I took the special care of changing my nickname (actually, I signed the service again) before giving the news because I was affraid that someone would call Yale and say something unpleasant. By the way, Kobayashi is the character from "The Usual Susupects" movie.

For those of you not called yet, I think there is two possibilities:

- You were rejected.
- You were put in a waiting list.

What I have heard is that both information will last long to reach you. Even if you were put in a waiting list, the chances that you will receive an offer are quite low - very few people turn down the Yale offer. But to be in the waiting list means that you are a really strong candidate and you should apply again. I know people that, even receiving a plain rejection, got accepted in the next year.

Good lucky, be cool.

Will the Yale admitted please to assist me by advicing when you must accept your offer before? Some other law schools is mid-April but other was earlier. When is Yale deadline?

Hola pnarg:
No se porque no te puedo mandar un PM.
Te paso mi mail y si queres charlamos: maxk@fibertel.com.ar
Apliqué a Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Northwestern, Georgetown, Penn, Florida, Berkley, y Boston University. Me aceptaron en todas, menos en Yale y Harvard me puso en lista de espera.
Estoy casi seguro que me voy a Stanford.
Mandame un mail y hablamos.
Un abrazo.
