I received a letter from Cornell Law School yesterday.
The gist was, “You’re an interesting candidate. We have waived our application fee and our February 1st deadline. Apply.”
And so I applied.
This was a stupid idea for three reasons:
- I’ve already been accepted by dream school (University of Minnesota).
- Cornell isn’t going to review my application before I have to pay my deposit for UMN.
- Although Cornell “waved” the application deadline, my LSAT scores aren’t competitive enough for scholarships so late in the applicant pool.
I have not paid my deposit at UMN because I am still figuring out how to afford it.
