Thanks. It's a miracle haha. My score wasn't great but my GPA (4.0), state competition mock trial team experience, volunteer work, paralegal/law high school and college background and also my 3.5 years work experience in a law firm as a paralegal really pushed me over the edge. My LORs were pretty good, too.

'you should have applied to Vermont Law... They are number 1 in environment law!! :) but awesome acceptance at UF!!

Thank you! :) Yeah I looked at Vermont but I was unimpressed by their school overall. I remember my initial response was sheer excitement because they had an online program, but further research made me kind of think, "Eh". Plus, as a private school, they are extremely expensive. And they have the highest acceptance rate in the country, I believe, too. I like a challenge. :) I'm really happy with UF, it was always my dream school growing up. But I am still holding out to see if CO will accept me after their first seat deposit. They review the waitlist at that point. :)
