I also got rejected form UPenn, but I do not care. I am already admitted to Duke and some other Top12 programs.
If they had admitted me, I'd not have excepted their offer. Maybe they felt so too.
Is it possible that the universities know from each other and communicate about admissions decisions?
Interesting. I have asked myself the same question. I do not believe that law schools send each other a list with all the applicant that have been accepted, but I do believe that in some cases, one Admission Officer could phone or email other to ask about a particular case. I have heard that the Admission Community is very small, especially in the top 15 law school, and usually the same admissions clerks rotate between law schools, so everyone knows each other.
Before apply to Columbia and Penn (both law schools required in their application to state to which other law schools you are applying) I asked to some JDs and alumni form thus law schools if it is convenient to state all the other law schools that I was applying, and they said of course, because if they discover that you are applying to other law schools (that you didnt inform in the application) they will think that youre cheating, and in USA nobody want a liar in his university . Some law schools offers an early application option for the JDs, and if you use that option, you compromise that if they make you an offer, you cant refuse it (binding offer), and you cant apply to more than one law school using that option (because it implies that that law school is your first choice. And in some cases, Admissions Deans have discovered that one student is applying to more than one university using that option.
Sorry if I bore someone, but writing here is a good way to kill anxiety until Yale release admissions notices.
