Choice of Schools

Can you share your reason for only applying to 2 schools? I chose one school, due to family and demographics.

Just the beginning
Monday, February 03 2014 at 09:13 AM

@Ms_Roxy : I am planning to apply to others. But I want to research the ones that are more lax with admission standards and whom will look at more than just my numbers (LSAT &GPA) as I have other more impressive things about my application

@ABAILEY216 I checked my status checker earlier this week and it said that I should expect an email any day now. When Friday came along yesterday and I didn't get any email saying yes or no, I got curious and went back to the status checker. That's where it said 'Applicant has been waitlisted'. The note on the top said that my application was waitlisted and no decision was made yet and that they' will look at it again in 2 weeks. I haven't received any email or anything about it though.

They never sent me any status Checker information. They notified me by email. Wow, that's weird. Maybe you should email them about it?

Keep the Faith! It's a students marker right now! These law schools need us to stay afloat. Apps are down around 35-40% across the board!!!

Also, there are many applicants that I noticed were rejected in FT programs, but applied to and were accepted in the PT programs.

You can try applying to Cooley for the PEP Program. I know someone who personally went through a lot in their life and struggled a bit with their numbers. She got into PEP and is just finishing up 1L this year in the top of her class!
