Wanted to good luck on the LSAT. Thanks for the message you left. Michigan is definitely in my top five for the very same reasons you listed.

Saturday, July 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Good luck next month. :) Have you been testing well??

UMICH
Wednesday, November 02 2005 at 07:00 PM

Just remember while they are competitive, they look at EVERYTHING no matter what anyone tells you. Make sure your whole package is tight and you should be a great candidate.

Good Luck!
Tuesday, August 30 2005 at 08:00 PM

Hope the LSAT goes well! Tips.....hmmm make sure you write about what makes you YOU in your statements.....and since we are all unique so should your PS....email me if any further questions.

Where are your safeties?
Thursday, November 17 2005 at 07:00 PM

Best of luck! You might want to add a few safeties onto your list - just in case the LSAT doesn\\\'t go as expected.

Thanks
Tuesday, November 15 2005 at 07:00 PM

for your kind words on my profile. But do you really think those schools you listed would be interested in me even with my GPA? Thanks again and good luck with the LSAT

hiya

hopefully you wont need to rely on your safeties. i am pulling for you to get into your top choices, and i'm excited to see what you get on your lsat!

so cute
Tuesday, September 06 2005 at 08:00 PM

Your so sweet. I have lived an interesting life and it was definitely a neat way to grow up. Law school will be a new and great experience maybe we will end up at the same schools. Good Luck!!!

Re: Michigan
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for your kind words. I am definitely interested in summer start, the only caveat being that I want some vacation time before starting LS. Good luck on your LSATs, I'm sure you will kick ass this cycle and have a good shot at Michigan.

Forget the LSAT
Monday, August 08 2005 at 08:00 PM

Whatever you do: DO NOT LET THE TEST BEAT YOU BEFORE YOU TAKE IT! You have to walk into that test as calm as possible, you have complete confidence in your abilities, and you must remember that the test does not determine your ability as a lawyer or as a person. REGARLDESS of what number you get, you are still going to SOMEBODY'S lawschool if you do desire. Plus, you shouldn't take life so seriously, you won't make it out alive :-)

WI Schools
Wednesday, September 07 2005 at 08:00 PM

The WI area and specifically schools are good places for black people. Both Milwaukee and Madison contain the vasy majority of all black people that live in the state. Milwaukee is totally a beer town and the parties at Madison are crazy, goodluck with the LSAT and applications.

idaho?
Friday, October 21 2005 at 08:00 PM

University of Idaho? compared to your other schools I don't see why you're applying there unless you have some interest in Idaho. I would consider Detroit Mercy for another safety school instead of Idaho as it seems you're interested in Michigan. Just making an observation, not hatin.

Good Luck on LSAT
Friday, November 18 2005 at 07:00 PM

I figure we go to the same school, am I right?

thanks for the nice msg
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Yeah, it would be cool to be classmates at UM... hope that pans out. I did a visit there before T'giving and sat in on a few classes -- really got me excited about going to law school. Funny how you crossed W&M off your list; I applied the day after I took the LSAT and when I got my score back I thought, "uh...oops" but it was too late. You never know, right?? :)

Good Luck
Friday, September 02 2005 at 08:00 PM

Good Luck tomorrow, I wish you the best.

Good Luck!
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

You'll do great on your LSAT I'm sure. And quit going and leaving retard messages messages to people with my name!

Thank You
Wednesday, November 30 2005 at 07:00 PM

Are you at UF? And given that list, I'm assuming your numbers are good so why Michigan St. as a safety as as opposed to GW, BC, BU etc.?

Well???
Wednesday, November 02 2005 at 07:00 PM

Well how'd you do? I know its going to be a long month waiting for your scores, but just hold tight!!!

Thanks
Wednesday, November 30 2005 at 07:00 PM

Good luck with you LSAT, I still need $$$ to make a final decision though. Most $$$ wins.

Kansas
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

No, they didn't...I'm not sure what their exact procedure is is for scholarships and financial aid, but if I'm offered anything later, I'll update my page. Good luck waiting for those LSAT scores...I'm sure you're in agony right now:)

thanks
Sunday, November 13 2005 at 07:00 PM

Especially to UM; here's to seeing you celebrate the your acceptance there before the cycle is all over!!! -- C

Thank you!
Tuesday, August 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thank you very much for your encouragement re: Duke. I sincerely hope you are correct. :) Good luck with Michigan, it's a beautiful school. When do you get your LSAT back?

thanks for the post : )
Saturday, September 03 2005 at 08:00 PM

thanks for the encouragement re my Fordham situation....good luck on everything. hope the lsat went well for you : )

The wait...
Monday, October 24 2005 at 08:00 PM

I'm anxiously waiting for my LSAT score. I think I'm gonna apply to a few schools in the next couple of days, ahh!!!

light suggestion
Wednesday, November 02 2005 at 07:00 PM

I know you started this profile to keep track of the process for your own memories--but LSN is also a community. Other people would benefit more from the identifying information than from your personal rankings. (re: your 12/04 note) In any case, best of luck to you. Keep checking email for the score; the October LSATs were released a few days early.

Good Luck
Wednesday, September 07 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the encouragement

I hope you're
Thursday, December 08 2005 at 07:00 PM

right about the Vanderbilt fee waiver--i didn't request one from them and i would not have applied otherwise. It's a good school, so i'm giving it heavy consideration. Best of luck to you on the UMich application. By the way, I live in Chapel Hill, NC and i've see Duke Law first hand--it's first rate, definitely consider it as one of your top choices.

Thank you
Monday, August 15 2005 at 08:00 PM

for the kind words and best wishes on your LSAT results. We all know what you're going through!

good luck!
Tuesday, November 01 2005 at 07:00 PM

thanks for the comment and best of luck to you! can't wait to see you post good news for your scores and acceptances

Thank you!
Tuesday, August 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

-smile- Both for posting my first comment and for it being a nice one. I wish you the best of luck, too!

Can't wait
Wednesday, September 07 2005 at 08:00 PM

for this process to be over. It is like torture. I have become obsessed with law admissions. Everyday that I check my mail I'm hoping for some kind of response. A rejection letter, app complete card, anything!

Numbers
Friday, November 18 2005 at 07:00 PM

Isn't the point of LSN to show your numbers?

whoa
Sunday, November 06 2005 at 07:00 PM

32 schools?

good luck!!
Tuesday, August 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

HEY! Good luck :) You definitely have the energy and enthusiasm that's necessary to get through this process! Take care

I think you are applying to more schools than me, I'm impressed!

Thanks
Thursday, August 05 2004 at 08:00 PM

I guess all the chips don't fall where they should. Good luck to you. Cornell's a better school anyway. :)

hey!
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Hey girl! I was wondering where you'd been lately -- nice to see you've resurfaced. Yeah, I was expecting the Mich deferral, but I keep telling myself that it's not a yes, but it's not NOT a yes either. :) Guess we will see! Hope you hear something soon.

Hey
Wednesday, October 12 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words. Hope you got a score that you liked today...the scale was brutal. Good luck with apps!

Thanks for the kind words. I really hope to get into UDM! I guess there's always Cooley if things don't work out. Best of luck...what's your first choice?

re: shock
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

i know all about the score shock. i was practising in the low to mid 160s. i think your numbers are actually good though. i can see ND. i would bet all your twos and three are locks with your gpa. hey, after my 'shock' i'm looking at john marshall - chi as a target. good luck with the apps and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

:)
Tuesday, August 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

dont listen to chiasu!! You will do great...Have a happy new year :)

Thanks!!
Friday, November 25 2005 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the nice message -- good luck to you as well!!!

LSAT
Thursday, November 17 2005 at 07:00 PM

Sorry about the LSAT; i can tell from the chiasu pediction % that things didn't quite go as planned. If I recall correctly, you are a URM. So, you may still have a decent shot at some of these schools regardless of whatever Chiasu is telling you. Good Luck!

Best of luck...
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

...on the new year and your aps!

hey!
Sunday, October 02 2005 at 08:00 PM

No, I didn't get any money at MSU yet...they acceptance letter said they would give out money in February.

:)
Saturday, September 10 2005 at 08:00 PM

God helped me, and He'll help you too! Just pray to Him and put this all in His hands.

Good Luck to you
Thursday, December 29 2005 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the comment. I wish you well on your applications!!!!!!!!!!!

MSU money
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

I haven't heard anything from them yet about money, but the acceptance letter that I got said that I would hear something by... I think it's Feb. 15th. I am hoping to hear good things soon though, and will def. keep you posted! I'll keep checkin in with you to see where you're getting accepted too! good luck!!

friendly hello
Tuesday, August 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

Hey there! I have a good feeling you'll hear back with your first acceptance in the next 10 days...I'll keep my fingers crossed...I think you actually have a great shot at your top choice (Mich)...they really respect URM status--continued good luck to you! Take care.

Well wishes!
Wednesday, January 11 2006 at 07:00 PM

You are absolutely right, if you don't play the lotto, you can't win the lotto! That was my mantra as I applied to many schools, many people said I shouldn't have. I had many problems with the LSAT as well. I was testing in the mid 160's, but what are you going to do?! Good luck and congratulations on all of your accomplishments! Kepp positive and please keep in touch!

Wow...
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

...that is quite a list! We have several schools in common. I am sure that you will start to hear back from some of the schools soon. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you! v/r

thanks
Thursday, January 05 2006 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats. Good luck to you. Don't worry so much...you'll go where God wants you to be.

Same Schools
Saturday, December 31 2005 at 07:00 PM

It looks like you and I are applying to the same schools. I am in the same boat as you - 158 LSAT. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.84, played 4 years varsity athletics, and have 2 years WE for a Fortune 25 company though, so I am hoping to get accepted to one of my long shots (it only takes one to impact the outcome of your life). Keep me posted as you hear back from the schools - I also was a December LSAT taker and applied to all my schools in early January.

thanks angelica!
Friday, November 25 2005 at 07:00 PM

lets kill em' !!! thanks for the support, much success to you!!!

agreed!
Sunday, October 02 2005 at 08:00 PM

waiting is awful...I feel better knowing I got in SOMEWHERE but I would really like to have an out-of-state prospect to consider. If I am going to pick up and leave my life here, its going to be for someplace great; but I would like to at least know thats an option so I can start planning! I'm sure you'll hear something soon, you have a great shot at getting into alot of the places you applied!

Hope in the unseen..
Friday, November 25 2005 at 07:00 PM

I must say, I am much appreciative of your positive energy. It is undoubtedly much needed in this super competitive process! I'm not only rooting for you, I'm praying for you (really). I know God will put you exactly where he wants you to be ... you've worked hard, now watch the rest fall into place. You are any school's dream student!!! \\\"Faith is hope in the unseen....\\\"

Just fantastic...
Tuesday, September 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

Hi Angelica, I must say I love all the positive vibe I am getting from your comments. You will be great as a future law student and as a lawyer. I hope you get your first letter soon. It truly is magical the first time around, but even the 2nd and the 3rd have their charm. Keep me posted. Best wishes!!!

Thanks!!
Monday, December 19 2005 at 07:00 PM

You are goingto get in so many places!!!! You seem like a special person and I wish you all the best!!! I will be checkin to see if/when you get those top 10's!

ucf
Saturday, November 12 2005 at 07:00 PM

no sorry i am in UF. do you go to ucf? i was at chillers tonight if you know where that is.

good luck!
Monday, January 16 2006 at 07:00 PM

Good Luck on your applications!!! I had the same problem with the LSATS and I have horrible standardized test anxiety... and waiting for letters is giving me a fear of the mailman :)

Good luck to you!
Tuesday, November 22 2005 at 07:00 PM

Best of luck with your applications. I am checking my e-mail incessantly too, as I am still waiting for many of my applications to go complete. Waiting is so painful! I fear that the law school related dreams will come next. I hope you get a bunch of acceptance letters soon!

no doubt
Saturday, November 12 2005 at 07:00 PM

God is good. I didn't get that bad at chillers. It was my first time there...its pretty cool with the 3 floors and all. Thanks for the congrats. I'll be watching for what great schools you will get into.

Wisconsin
Thursday, September 08 2005 at 08:00 PM

All things considered I think I'll go to UIUC over Wisconsin, Madison is a great town, but Ill. offered $$ and I want to work in Chicago. I haven't sent my withdrawl letter yet, but it will go out this wknd. I figure if it gets somebody off of the waitlist earlier its a good thing. Don't stress too much this cycle, you will do fine, good luck.

no
thanks!
Monday, October 03 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thank you for your words of congrats! I have faith that you will experience just as much happiness. I will be rooting for you and Florida! Good luck!

Best of luck, Angelicasassy
Monday, December 05 2005 at 07:00 PM

You'll do well this application cycle. The most difficult thing you'll have to do is figure out which school you want to attend.

thank you!
Tuesday, December 06 2005 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words! I really like your philosophy and I wish you all the best.

thanks
Sunday, December 04 2005 at 07:00 PM

It's still up in the air. I have started to visit, but it may come down to money. If there is none.... IUI, because you can get in-state after the first year.

Thanks for the Goodluck wish
Thursday, December 22 2005 at 07:00 PM

Best of luck to you too!

Thanks
Monday, January 23 2006 at 07:00 PM

for the congrats. Good luck to you with UMich. The adcomms are really great over there and the Dean of Admissions is awesome. I think they're one of the few t14s that looks at the whole package, so maybe you should try sending in more supplemental stuff or emailing Sarah Zearfoss. Worth a shot, no? Good luck!!!

Thanks!
Sunday, September 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

Wish you all the best on your apps as well. We have a few schools in common, let's pray it works out for both of us! Believe in the power of PRAYER!!!!

Hamline
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

Do you have a specific question about Hamline, or just what I know in general?

good luck!
Wednesday, August 31 2005 at 08:00 PM

A "storylike" PS can be really excellent, because it's usually more memorable. You're in good shape--especially with a letter that supports what you've said yourself. I'm not sure what the typical turnaround is at these schools, but they're definitely flooded with applications right now. Try not to worry too much if you don't hear back very quickly. I'll be rooting for you! Best of luck with decisions and the rest of your semester.

iu
Friday, January 27 2006 at 07:00 PM

I was a little suprised about indiana, but not that concerned. Arkansas and usc have always been higher on my list.

hey,
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

you know i saw your gpa once before you took it down. you have nothing to be worried about. you will get into most of the schools on this list. i think you will be pleseantly surprised in about a month. i hope to see you at cleo. my app goes in the mail tomorrow. i will hopefully be doing the one in minnesota. that valpo app will equate to a full ride+ stipend, i'm sure of it. good luck with the rest of the apps.

Hamline...
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

...is actually located in St. Paul and is a relatively small private school. The Law School has a very well known dispute resolution program (ranked 5th in the nation by USNews). It has both a full time (~515 students) and part time (~199 students) program. I withdrew despite receiving a 100% scholarship because their degree is not as "exportable" as the University of Minnesota, nor did it have the employment rate of "the U" (Hamline - 40.7%@Grad v. "The U" - 90.6%). It is hard to argue with those type of statistics. If you have more questions feel free to email me. v/r

I'm with Higherlearning
Monday, December 05 2005 at 07:00 PM

You aren't going to have any problem getting into one of your top choices. Really. Just relax and wait for your letters to arrive. You'll DEFINITELY be going to law school during 2006. Take care.

Re: Yes, I'm at UCF
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats. Here's to hoping you get the same good results. It's always nice to see my fellow Floridians do well.

Thanks for the congrats. Nice LSAT. You're going to do great this cycle! Take Care. -Bet

UF and FSU
Sunday, October 02 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words. UF I don't believe is all about the numbers. While I doubt I will get in, I have seen instances where they except a student who doesn't fit their number profile. FSU though, that one stung. But I don't think being a Nolie would be that great anyway. Anyway, good luck in these last few months.

CONGRATS

Monday, October 03 2005 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on your first acceptance! I am hopeful to be accepted by them also. I was wondering how you notified of your complete status - I haven't heard a peep from them since I sent my app in and so I was just curious. Congrats again and good luck the rest of this cycle.

Congrats!

Yes, we are applying to many of the same schools. I guess I don't know much about MSU law. I do recall seeing them ranked in tier 3. I'm not sure what their reputation is outside of Michigan. Good luck with the rest of your apps.

Tuesday, January 03 2006 at 07:00 PM

Being an FSU (soon to be) alum, I consider it my duty to never be associated with the University of Florida, and the fact it was huge reach for someone with my stats, in fact I am already ruling FSU out, as I don't think I have much of a chance there. I actually want to go north too, I dunno, I might be regretting it, but I want to jump into something entirely new, Good luck, maybe we'll see each other at Mich State( but hopefully not, lol!)

MSU
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

thanks and congrrats
Wednesday, November 02 2005 at 07:00 PM

on your acceptance. You have a great shot at Wisconsin. For me, it must have been my PS. It was more story like also. Have you heard from CLEO? You may want to let some of the schools know that you have applied to the CLEO program

Thanks!!

Sorry, my mistake. I was looking at the wrong row in my table. MSU didn't offer anything.

Hi...
Thursday, October 20 2005 at 08:00 PM

...my name is Army2Law and I am a Law School application addict.... I thought that I was the only one who applied to that many schools. I sent out 29 applications, a Reach, Target, and Safety at each area I was thinking of moving. I broke the addiction when I received my first target acceptance. That way I knew I would be attending school. Best of luck to you in breaking your addiction and with your aps as well!

Re:MSU
Sunday, January 22 2006 at 07:00 PM

Nope, haven't heard about scholarship money from MSU yet, but they said they'd send scholarship notices by Feb 15th, so we should hear sometime the next week or so.

about the loyola waitlist. i have applied to all the chicago schools except ne and uc. i'll be happy with depaul or john marshall if i'm given some money. your waitlist dust not bode well for me. :( take care and good luck with the rest of your apps.

Hey! We meet again! haha...what do you think of this Notre Dame provisional list? I can't believe we got waitlisted this early...what does that mean?

waitlisted at nd
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

hey, i heard that being waitlisted at nd is not that bad. i think they try to keep their yield numbers good by accepting people with a strong desire to attend the school. i would definitely send a letter of continued interest. i would kiss a little tail by thanking them for even considering you for the waitlist. i then would go into all the reasons nd is the right school for you and what you could bring to the nd community. in short let them know that if they take you off the waitlist that you will attend. personally i would be writing this letter as we speak (a quick turn around could be quite effective). re: temple. i don't think there is a chance you WON'T get in. as for me, well.... good luck with the rest of the apps.

Wednesday, January 11 2006 at 07:00 PM

Do you go to UF? Also, I dont know you, but I think youre a wonderful person, I hope you get into your dream school! Good luck once again! If you wouldnt mind, can you tell me more about how you found out about Notre Dame??

MSU $$$
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

haven't heard a thing. They keep sending me letters about other stuff, and I am tempted to call them up and say, "Look, quit sending me anything unless it's a scholoarship offer!" :) I hope we see some cash. MSU is supposed to be very generous with the funds ... if they don't come through, that will be disappointing. Good luck and lemme know if you hear anything in the next few days.

Thank You

Thank you
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

We have 7 schools in common. I hope you aren't feeling bad about the ND provisional waitlist. Admissions at ND Law is much more competitive than the school's overall ranking would suggest. You still have a shot at ND and I would view this as an indication that you will be very competitive at the other schools on your list. You have a lot of people on here rooting for you. I have officially added myself to the list.

Michigan State money
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Is the not hearing about scholarship money from MSU driving you nuts, too? And what makes it worse is that they keep sending us tons of mail, and you always think it's going to be about scholarships, and it's like the fifth consecutive letter from the Dean saying how great MSU's program is, and how glad he is that you got in, etc etc. I'm just like, "yeah, I know, happy to be in too, thanks... now how about that cash, pal??"

re: cleo

Monday, January 16 2006 at 07:00 PM

I just read about your law school dreams.. I have them too and I hate them. I had the most realistic dream about reading an acceptance letter from Miami... Then I woke up and was so disappointed. boo.

MSU money
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

I called them this morning to find out what the deal was. They informed me that they were going to decide the scholarship stuff TODAY, and that it would go out either today or tomorrow. So there is hope yet...! :)

hey,
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

i know you been getting alot of junk mail lately but at least your hearing something. i went complete and now all i hear is silence. if it wasn't for my two acceptances i would be getting really discouraged. worse case senario i go to toledo. i guess that's not the worst thing that could happen. i;m trying to think positive. oh well, good luck on the rest of your apps. i'm sure you are going to get into some great schools. your numbers are just too good. have a happy

Tuesday, August 23 2005 at 08:00 PM

you crack me up! I'm the exact same way...this whole waiting game is absolutely killing me. Hang in there!!

Oh no!
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

that is really sad news about Michigan State. That probably means it doesn't look good for me either. that really sucks because I don't really have any other options for schools. **sigh** I wish you the best of luck on all your other schools. Please get into Michigan for me! :)

ND
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the congrats on Fordham. Ordinarily, I would pass on the whole "provisional list" thing, but ND seems to be unique in their approach to legal education. So yeah, I am going to try to get in off of the list. If you are interested, I'll let you know how I am going to proceed via e-mail. I'd say you are due for a few more decisions.

Congrats

Denver
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

I think you still have time to apply there -- according to their profile in the ABA-LSAC law school guide, they recommend submitting by end of Feb, and you can apply online. Another option for you might be University of Detroit-Mercy. Their app deadline is 4/15, and tuition is about half of MSU's (according to the ABA-LSAC guide). Course, you'd still be stuck in Michigan, where it was 5 degrees yesterday! :) Good luck!

Good Job
Saturday, October 22 2005 at 08:00 PM

on MSU and Drake. I'm with you on the whole waiting thing. It's driving my crazy. There was an ice storm here (in MS) this past weekend and what was I doing? Still checking the mailbox . Was there any worthwhile mail? Nope, just another damn Victoria Secret's catalog. Sigh..... Anyways, I'm rooting for you, especially w/ Michigan. Good luck!

re:drake
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

i was worried about the degrees mobility. i also worried about the price v. starting salary. after that i worried about the 5 years i'd likely have to spend in iowa. then came my career options in terms of intellectual property. i figured that a drake degree equated to an llm somewhere else. but, at one point i considered being a public defender and drake seemed like a good place to go (if given a full-ride). and i must admit i thought the campus looked really pretty. :) why did you apply to drake?

#1 school?
Saturday, October 22 2005 at 08:00 PM

You know, as of right now, I have no idea. Originally, I would've given anything to be accepted to Emory. Well, due to the fact that I sincerely doubt that I'll get in in the first place and sure that hell will freeze over before they give me any money, I think I'm w/o a #1 choice. I need to go out and visit some schools and see what I like. As of right now, I like $$$ and lots of it. Anyone who is willing to give me a lot of $ and good educational and employment opp.'s is at the top of my list. Why didn't you apply to Miami? I'm thinking my decision to apply there wasn't the best one. They're pretty expensive and I just knew that they'd love me. Yeah right-I got deferred and quick!

MSU money
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Yes, I got a letter through from MSU on Saturday. I was offered a half-tuition scholarship, which I am very grateful for. I signed the letter of acceptance today. It is a done deal! I've got to withdraw from Wayne now ... dunno about W&M. I don't think it's likely, but you never know. re: Detroit. True, it isn't that ...uh... picturesque. :) My entire family is from Detroit, so I am well-acquainted with the area. Let me know what you end up doing!

So you really call? There a couple schools I want to call ( Case, Temple) b/c I want to know when I can expect a decision..but I am too scaredto call Hastings or USC b/c I don't know if they don't like to be called. As for UW I have a friend ( who is not on LSN) that recently got in with a full ride to UW I forget your #'s before you took em down, but she wasn't like a 3.7/160+ so maybe that will give you some hope on the front! Thanks for the Berkeley well wishes---I am expecting a decision from them in 2-3 weeks!! EEEKKK!!!!

high on my list? i know little about the school. i applied because i knew i was applying to minn and wanted a transfer option. i am going to wait for their offer of financial aide. if i get a full scholarship, they will shoot to #1 on my list (for the moment). if i don't get any $$$, there's no way i can afford it. i can't wait for that acceptance letter to show up. :-) good luck on the apps. you should be hearing back soon.

Drake
Tuesday, September 27 2005 at 08:00 PM

I know that Drake has an excellent reputation in Iowa. If you are in the top 5% of the class I beleive one can score a job in Minneapolis, etc... From what I have read most people enjoy the school. I wouldn't recommend attending unless you want to work in Iowa, or unless you get an unbeatable scholarship.

May God
Saturday, December 17 2005 at 07:00 PM

bless you. I've never visited your page until now and I'm glad I did. I found great comfort here and needed that prayer. Also, I feel allot better about having bought my lottery tickets. Thanks and I will visit again.

School
Tuesday, September 27 2005 at 08:00 PM

If I had to make a decision today, I would likely attend UMKC because of the scholarship. However, if Drake would give me a good deal I wouldn't mind attending. However, I would like to attend either U of Iowa or U of Nebraska Lincoln, both of which I have been deferred at.

ah yes
Monday, December 19 2005 at 07:00 PM

I am going to be calling some schools now...I got waitlisted at NU this morning, but it felt good. Maybe I am silly but it made me a little happy after those dings from CU and UC Davis ( f davis!) Sorry to hear about UF...you have bigger fish to fry anyways!

IMHO
Saturday, January 28 2006 at 07:00 PM

"I am praying to God and putting all my trust in him for this cycle. I know I will end up in the right school for me, its all in his hands." I think you might be forgetting that with your reaction towards UF. "They can go F OFF" Don't stop trusting in him now.

a little harsh sounding...
Saturday, January 28 2006 at 07:00 PM

didn't mean to come off like that, I too need frequent reminders of my claimed commitment to God. I forgive one second and hate the next. (divorce sucks) I wasn't judging you, just suggesting that God might not wanted you to go to UF or used the rejecting to UF to "test" (don't like using that term with explaining God's interactions with us, but can't think of a better term right now.) anyway, to test your faith and trust in him. Your reaction and perceived indignation about UF's decision might reflect a bit of doubt on your part. (I hope this explaination didn't offend you more.)

OOOOPS

Yes I am happy about it now, I made my interview appt. and I am heading out to Chicago soon. I hear they give outragous scholarships to minority students. I called Temple and they said a decision is in the mail--she sounded nice, but I don't know if it was fake, because she put me on hold before she told me that a decision had been made. I figure she was askignm permission to release the info to me, but who knows. You numbers asouper great they have change no? I think you should send that additional addendum--can't hurt!

sometime
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

in august, the whole lsn urm crew should meet up in a central location like chicago. it would be an awesome opportunity to network. it would be awesome to be able to keep tabs on everyone and see how their careers are blossoming. my dream is to start a large minority owned firm someday. you are welcome to join my firm at anytime.

Waitlisted at Indy, eh? I got that too. You still haven't heard a peep outta Michigan? That could be a good sign ....

yeah
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

i know where you are coming from. i thought about it. but, if you want to be anonymous, i think all you need to do is choose to hide your numbers or major. i honestly believe that my major makes me an easy individual to find. i bet there are very few bc majors in any one particular cycle. how many of those could be black? i always worried about this. maybe it is a little paranoid, but i am the ultimate statistical outlier. hey, i don't think you have anything to worry about. i read about how bad your first semester was. if that 3.6+ is your actual lsdas gpa, then you have both a phenomenal grade trend and personal story to tell. q: i see that you have apps at gulc and hamline, why no gw and u of minn?

Yep, 41...
Wednesday, January 11 2006 at 07:00 PM

I can't believe I applied to that many either; it became a bit of an addiction actually. Some of the schools to which I applied though I don't really have alot of interest now that I have gotten into a few places that I would actually attend so I am withdrawing from some today... I applied to a ton though since I have some pretty good soft factors and have a decent justification for my pathetic GPA and I was hoping that a school would take a chance on me even though my numbers were low for them (which Penn St apparently did since my index number was lower than any other acceptee as of Friday). Good luck to you, too!!

MSU money mystery
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Yeah, I'm really not sure why they wouldn't have given you ANY money. Your GPA is about the same as mine, and your LSAT is the same. Is that GPA that you've listed above based on the most recent grades? Is it possible that MSU doesn't have your latest grades?? I'm just curious -- maybe you can sort of re-argue your case by providing your latest grades if they bumped your GPA way up. OK, I am done butting into your business for tonight. :) I just think you'd be a lot of fun to have as a classmate!! Good luck.

don't worry
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

you will get into the school that is right for you. don't stress about the timing of your decisions (i know it's hard). prayers are not answered according to your schedule, but to His. always plan for the best.

Wisconsin
Friday, October 28 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks for the note and congrats so far. I wasn't offered any money at Wisconsin with my accepatance. I think what set me apart is applying early, using essayedge for my PS and an LOR, and having a parent who is a UW grad (for UG--but didn't donate to the alumni assn) Also my URM status since they have a strong AA program. Good luck to ya.

about michigan. i just knew you were in. :( i'll let you know when i hear from case.

Wisconsin
Monday, August 08 2005 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! I'm really excited about Wisconsin. In my PS I wrote about my work experience with underserved populations and how UW's "law in action" philosophy fit into my plans to continue in non-profit work. I spoke little about my families low SES, but I did mention it and I did put a happy face on it. Overall though, I think that the specificity that I gave regarding my role in their law school, work experience, and commitment to non-profit service after law school was looked upon favorably. My PS to Bloomington (I was waitlisted) wasnt that specific, and everything else being equal, I think that those factors were the difference. I wish you the best of luck!

U-M :(
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Stupid Michigan! If they weren't gonna let me in, I was counting on them letting you in. Oh well. They are pretty freakin' expensive though, so that does provide some relief. Good job on Case! If you had to pick today, which school would you attend?

hey,
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

read my 'additional info' and let me know if you're in. ask 'your girl' too. :) did you know that it says you're a dude in you're info? (:-p)

thanks
Wednesday, December 07 2005 at 07:00 PM

yeah... it's imitation gangsta. thanks for the luck! hang in there for those reaches. i know what you mean about feeling content with whatever happens, but i think we'll both get a few surprises in the next month.

Thanks, you too
Wednesday, January 11 2006 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Case! I am still hoping that I get a few more acceptances; as of now its suffolk or penn state! Good luck on everything else...

case
Thursday, January 05 2006 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on Case. That is so wonderful. I'm praying for many more acceptances for you.

Thanks
Thursday, February 23 2006 at 07:00 PM

for the support on Mason - Case is a great, coup by the way, and the full ride to Drake is nothing to sneeze at! With all of those applications, I'm sure you'll end up at your ideal law school.

Thanks!!
Saturday, February 25 2006 at 07:00 PM

for your message. Good luck to you too, for the rest of the schools!

for your comments on my profile...i've definitely had those law school dreams too! i had one where i got into harvard (mwahaha). good luck with the rest of your apps!

hamline-what the?!?
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

did you take a stance on something in your ps? this makes no sense to me. i am so confused right now. how can you get into case and find yourself dinged at hamline. i know you would get dinged at villanova if your essay is pro-choice, but this is just puzzling. this HAS to be yield protection. gee whiz. what more could they want? i mean...you're the bomb! sassy. ;-p take care and good luck on those pendings.

Hamline is a head scratcher
Monday, December 05 2005 at 07:00 PM

Something we're missing here? Sassy, what's the deal? Hamline? You should have been a lock there. The only thing I can think of is that you "may" have applied a wee bit late. Other than that, this one is a real head scratcher. Go figure.

i applied after
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

sassy, so that's not it. it must be yield protection. maybe they don't give full-rides and thought she wouldn't come without one? i hope you get into a top 25 so this can be one of the best ding-accepts ever.

that offer from case. case IS sweet. i talked to the dean of admissions once and he seemed like such a nice person. i could not help but think that if all the administration was like him... i really do hope that i get in. i hope that my waitlist at notre dame is a good harbinger for case and other schools. it would really be nice to go there knowing someone in my 1L class. hey, i can probably get free cavs tickets. my cousin is friends with the phenom. congrats again.

Woohoo!
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

Big bucks from Case. Congratulations!

re: what do i know about ohio?
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

i have family in youngstown and cleveland. yes, it would be nice to go to case. knowing what i know now i should have sent that app off to cleveland state. the only reason i didn't was because my twin brother's wife got pregnant. cleveland was one of the cities we targetted because of the low cost of living. we were going to apply to both case and clev-state. i took cleveland state off my list after i reveiwed their course offerings and didn't see many ip classes. that was probably a mistake. i'm really worried about case because they have not yet reveiwed my file. and i really like that school. i'd be tickled to have a sheep skin from case on my wall. :-( how do you almost meet rubi dee?

Temple was cool it was just the vibe of the alums was " go to some place better if yo ucan, if you can't temple is cool" so i don't know...we shall see some serious $$$ could change my mind with the way things are going !!!! anyways I am going to be watching the mail because I am afraid my thin letter is lurking in the recesses of the post office!

Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

having all these pendings is driving me crazy. how are you dealing with it? oh, case seems like the no brainer choice. does the drake $$$$ have a gpa cut-off?

look at your money!
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

Look at you get, like, $1,000,000 in scholarship money at Drake and Case! Good job! Drake is the one in Des Moines, right? I know it's a longshot, but still hoping MSU gives you some cash so we can hang out next year! :) good luck w/ that and keep me posted.

Guilty as charged
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

I am in the process of writing an detailed and hopefully concise review for you and one other person. You will have a broader range of choices in the upcoming weeks. Isn't it great to be able to choose between $$ and $$$?

Thanks!!
Wednesday, November 02 2005 at 07:00 PM

Congrats on your acceptances as well. This is a GREAT feeling. Like none other!!

Congrats on U-IL

Why do you think you were accepted at IL and rejected by so many easier schools?

Since you asked...
Monday, January 23 2006 at 07:00 PM

I have some advice. Given your current set of options, you should go to Illinois. In mind my Illinois with money is the best offer you have to date.

Thank you for the congrats on Wisconsin. I was also surprised, I knew my chances were slim. I didn't send anything else in after the waitlist, I really didn't have time to, the acceptance came after only about 2.5 weeks on the waitlist. I am blessed to have gotten in. Good Luck with all of your schools.

sorry
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

about gulc but it's probably for the best. uiuc is a great school that will get you a good job. i would take their offer and run with it. at this point the waiting is driving me crazy. the only thing that keeps me from sending in a bunch of withdrawals is the reality that i would likely try to transfer into most of my pendings. take care.

thank you so much for your prayers and k
Tuesday, March 07 2006 at 07:00 PM

Good idea
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

You were wise to make those phone calls. I am about to call one of my top choice schools because of a GPA requirement that is IMHO too high. Were you willing to talk to anyone or did you as for a specific person when you made your calls?

Minn
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

...wants a 3.33. After some extensive online research I noticed that the class of '07 cutoff for the top quartile is 3.4. So I would basically have to be in the top 25% of the class after the first year to renew the scholarship. A more reasonable grade requirement would make Minn a clear top choice. FYI, I am still waiting on UIUC. We applied at about the same time. Wish me luck.

Thanks...

I got one of those too! I was like, "uh ... you accepted me and stuff. and I, like, paid the deposit and stuff?" This is my undergrad alma mater -- in these big 10 schools, the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing, even if they are down the hall from each other!!

Illinois
Friday, September 16 2005 at 08:00 PM

what's up? i can't believe you didn't get the $$$ at msu. did you ask in your statements for a scholarship? i did and my numbers are no where near as good as yours. i just wrote a personal statement that didn't apologize for anything. i acted like i had a 4.0 and 175. i think that's why i got waitlisted at nd. they thought i was johngalt. :-) hey, i have a question for you. the highest ranked schools i was accepted into so far are hofstra and toledo. toledo gave me grant covering tuition fees and books for 1 year. i am seriously considering going there for a year and attempting a transfer into chicago feeder schools. do you think this is too risky? it would save me a ton of money, but i really don't know if i want a toledo dipoloma on my wall. am i crazy? all this will be mute if i get into kent/loyola. i have also considered sending kent and loyola an email requesting that i be xonsidered for pt if the ft day is closed. i have been worried that

Friday, June 24 2005 at 08:00 PM

Good luck at all your other schools, esp. WI. I will almost certainly be attending their. They actually seem to care about the individuals they admit there, and are really trying to be diverse, so I think that you prob have a great shot there. It is good to hear other people's on the blog so keep it up.

I honestly don't know. I am leaning towards OSU. They gave me some money and there is a good possibility that I may get in state the first year. But, I want to practice in Texas so, smu may be better. I am still waiting for BYU and UT. They are both my number one choices so will see. What do you think of OSU vs SMU (pt) vs U of W? I want to practice in Texas but I dont want to be 80-100 grand in debt.

Congrats!!!!
Monday, December 19 2005 at 07:00 PM

You rock!!!! I am so happy and for some reason proud! You are really kicking butt and taking names! Forget those haters, I'm not christian, but I respect your dedication to your religion and having "known" you for these past couple of months this is the first time I ever really noticed. If a person is religious why does it matter if they are not pushing their faith on you? I can't stand people who hate on people just cause of that. Nobody forced them to look at your page! Take the blessings and be out people!!!! Congrats again girl-- and remember- shake 'em off!

i got your message
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

take it as a badge of honor. they actually feel that your success somehow threatens their status quo. they are driven by competition and fear that you will somehow be 'given' their dream job that they have worked so hard for. can you believe that some of these people actually put off their winter in paris just to attend haarvaad? heaven forbid that they be forced to actually compete for a covetted position with a negro. what has the world come to? they only post if they feel you have done something right. when they start calling you 'friend' that's when you should worry. always remember, xoxo is how many of these people are in real life. in their heart of hearts they are scum. and they know it. they don't care. that's why many of them will fail at life. that's why many of them in their desperation will commit some kind of securities fraud, get caught, and be placed in a tiny cell with some minority who's looking for a new bitch. that's my dream, anyway. take care and don't sweat the small stuff. good is coming to you because you deserve it. don't you ever let anyone tell you any different. i KNOW your numbers. there are plenty of non-minorities getting into your schools with numbers less than yours.

congrats!
Saturday, September 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

on iowa. the best thing about your acceptances so far (case, illinois, and iowa) is that if you do well during 1L you can transfer into the top 10 (michigan!). you really can't go wrong with any of these three. congrats, again. p.s. i believe the two most important tenets of christianity are faith and grace. Ephesians 2:8 For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through FAITHand this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. how can "you make all christians look bad as a result...[?]" sassy, i wish i had your faith.

Urbana-Champaign
Tuesday, December 20 2005 at 07:00 PM

UC is a pretty rural area, but there are still a good number of restaurants and bars. There is also a decent mall pretty close to the campus. The cost of living is dirt cheap, which is nice. You can get an apartment for between about $350-$600 per month depending on if your living alone or with roommates. I have been told the public transportation system is pretty good as well, so its not a big deal if your farther from campus. Also parking in the Assembly Hall parking lot is free and it is about a block away from the law building if you want to drive to class. The people I met at open house were very friendly and the atomsphere seemed pretty laid back. Hopefully that helps, if you have any specific questions, feel free to leave me a message and I will try to answer them as best as I can. Once again congratulations.

Illinois
Monday, January 30 2006 at 07:00 PM

I am not sure what happened. The law school admissions decision process is not at all transparent. Each school seems to take a unique approach that reflects its values and institutional needs, though I concede that the USNWR rankings have, in effect, made admissions more formulaic than in past decades. With this in mind, I try not to spend much time thinking about how I could, for example, get into Fordham and W&L and also be waitlisted by Illinois and Notre Dame. Similiarly, I try to purge any negative thoughts when I consider how I am still waiting on a decision from a public law school in my home state that quickly admitted another applicant straight from undergrad with an LSAT score that was 13 points lower than mine. Some schools asked for detailed parental educational attainment information. Those that did know where my father went to LS and could have drawn conclusions about which schools I would seriously consider attending. I miss your daily blog.

Waitlisted at Washington

I swear those guys don't reject. They just like to waitlist everyone.

saw your comment
Monday, December 19 2005 at 07:00 PM

on window's page--- I AM NOT CRAZY!!!! I too am thinking of retaking and everybody I have talked to has been really negative about it. I realyl want to I feel like I can go 10 points higher than my previous score--I was practicing 4-6 points higher. I bet if I did that NU would let me in off the waitlist, but they re-evaluate in early june which means they wouldn't get y test scores. plus if i want to transfer I am wondering if that shows up... Speaking of case-I got a call from them today THREE WEEKS AFTER I withdrew my app. They crack me up, while it would be nice to see if I can get the free t-shirt I think I Wil them back tomorrow and let them know it's a no-go. I feel bad withdrawing from schools too. whew that was long, but hit me back about the lsat.

This decision process has kicked my ass. 90% sure I'm going to IU. Any thoughts? Conrats on getting that full ride to Iowa. I think you made a good choice and your situation will allow you to have many more options than most since you will not be burdened with a crushing amount of debt following law school.

LOL...
Monday, March 20 2006 at 07:00 PM

I could not tell you how many times I wondered about a schhol because they gave someone else more money than me ... I still wonder why Toledo gave me $0. Texas does seem great. I agonized and talked by friends to death over the UT versus UIUC issue... BUT Unless I hear the voice of the Lord tonite, I will be stopping at the post office before work tomorrow and mailing a check to UIUC. If I do this, it is guaranteed that I will kick myself all 3 winters in Illinois...
