LawProf seems unwilling to admit that in this case - with regard to accepting late applications - he is doing the exact same thing as the other legal academics he scorns. He has proclaimed that schools' websites broadly forbid late applications, and that they only make exceptions to that policy when it benefits their bottom line. But he doesn't know that that is in fact true, and hasn't responded to citations of others to school websites that expressly permit late applications.

However, they told me that I would be at a disadvantage for merit aid as most of it had been already awarded, and I decided to wait a year and got offered a full ride to a few schools in the top 10 for the class of 2006.

The info from the websites is still interesting because it makes clear that the idea of making exceptions to the deadline is not a presumptively crazy or nefarious practice. Apparently lots of commenters on this site did not know that it's possible to submit an application late and have it considered. Many people here were adamant that this could never happen. It could only be done because these schools, Chicago included, were taking applications after the deadline only because they needed to fill their classes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-34431563358154730462012-07-31T09:18:05.042-07:002012-07-31T09:18:05.042-07:00"Many" legal academics have a bad habit ...<b>"Many" legal academics have a bad habit of talking about things they don't really know anything about as if they do.</b><br /><br />Not surprising, since that's one of the skills law school is best at teaching.<br /><br />See "Arguments, Policy"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-90411630306826671202012-07-31T09:14:50.520-07:002012-07-31T09:14:50.520-07:008:45 -- look at LawProf's original list of 28 ...8:45 -- look at LawProf's original list of 28 schools here: http://insidethelawschoolscam.blogspot.com/2012/07/most-top-law-schools-still-accepting.html<br /><br />of the 6 you did so far, only Chicago was on LawProf's list of 28, and that was covered in 8:08's post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-18073291536268714042012-07-31T09:03:46.785-07:002012-07-31T09:03:46.785-07:00Again, focusing on the websites may not really ca...Again, focusing on the websites may not really capture this phenomenon.

It is probable that even without saying it, schools in the past have extended the deadline for exceptional candidates.

What's the big deal if law schools accept applications after a deadline? Most jobs/corporations and schools have deadlines, but nothing in life is written in stone and there's always exceptions. Are the law schools more desperate this year for late applicants? Probably. Is it a sign that the whole law school system is on the verge of collapse? Doubtful. It's just a declining market and not as strong as it once was like tech stocks, real estate, etc. Nothing stays in a boom period forever and law school enrollment will probably adjust downwards for some time. It's still an embarrassing reach to harp on this subject of late applications. Don't flatter yourselves and think deans who make 500k annually are running scared and scrounging in the trash for late applications. Most schools are only off in their enrollment by 10-20 percent and most of that is due to the improving economy and increased hiring in the corporate sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-84583301132219464642012-07-31T08:41:13.299-07:002012-07-31T08:41:13.299-07:00Harvard, Yale, Stanford seem to have no exception....Harvard, Yale, Stanford seem to have no exception.
