• Congrats.
• Wednesday, December 03 2008 at 04:45 PM

Congrats on Pittsburgh. When did you hear from them? Did they offer you money? What is your gpa and lsat? Good job man on Pitt! I absolutely love Pittsburgh. Look forward to hearing from you.

• Nope
• Monday, December 08 2008 at 11:38 PM

Im not regretting it at all, applying EA to Notre Dame. I made sure that all my early decision applications were non binding, leaving my options open just in case. Glad I did that now!

• Pitt Love
• Tuesday, December 16 2008 at 11:10 PM

I see Pitt is throwing some $$$ your way too!!! Doesn't it feel good to be loved? I hope you get some lovin' from some of the other schools on your list.

• Congrats!
• Thursday, December 18 2008 at 02:19 PM

Congratulations on a great start! I like Marquette's Sports Law Program!!!

• Saturday, December 27 2008 at 09:38 PM

congrats on Marquette.

• brooklyn we go hard
• Wednesday, January 07 2009 at 09:46 AM

hey! fellow bk native here, congrats on your acceptances so far! esp pitt & that $$ which one is your first choice?

• Thursday, January 08 2009 at 02:51 AM

I'm not even the fastest on this site?? Haha good luck to you too.

• Victoria Secret School of Law
• Friday, January 09 2009 at 02:30 PM

I'm pretty sure they'd have more apps than Harvard! It would be the only all male law school. OOOhhh, maybe females could get a minority-scholarship,lol! Honestly, If I got mail from a school as often as I did from VS I would have decisions everywhere.

• CONGRATS
• Tuesday, January 13 2009 at 09:56 AM

Congrats if you don't mind me asking what was you GPA and LSAT score? I'm pretty anxious about getting in this fall and I'm trying to weigh my chances.

• Northwestern
• Tuesday, January 13 2009 at 04:05 PM

They emailed me and told me to check the status checker

• Wow
• Thursday, January 15 2009 at 09:11 AM

I like your boldness. YOu applied to several school. That is a great strategy. Good Luck on this cycle.

• Marquette..?
• Thursday, January 22 2009 at 12:23 PM

I'm deciding on whether to apply to marquette..I really like the sports law program. Just not to sure about milwaukee...What are your thoughts..?

• similar stuff
• Thursday, January 22 2009 at 02:06 PM

we've got similar numbers and are applying to a lot of the same places.I wish I had the fee waivers though! Congrats on the Depaul Acceptance. sorry about NU. But at least you can still be in Chicago if you really want.

• Marquette...
• Thursday, January 22 2009 at 03:29 PM

I think I'm gonna apply this week!!!!! I'm really interested in sports law...

• Pitt...maybe
• Thursday, January 22 2009 at 03:34 PM

W&L is going to be tough to pass up!! I don't know if Pitt would be on my list after that acceptance. I just go in to Rutgers which might bump Pitt a little, and if they give me $$...Pitt's done! But I'm still waiting for some 4th quarter sleeper teams:-) And of course I've gotta hold out for Yale,lol

• Thursday, January 29 2009 at 12:10 PM

You're having a crazy cycle but I think that's fun. Especially getting into top 25 like W&L! Do your thing!

• congrats so far on the cycle
• Saturday, January 31 2009 at 09:15 AM

maybe if the 6.5 was in the 60 and were talkin about 2 reps of 225 on overhead squats lol.. in all seriousness congrats on the 4 acceptances, I applied to a few of the same

• 6.5?? Lol..
• Tuesday, February 03 2009 at 10:38 AM

You don't want run no 6.5 bro lol...I'm a d lineman and I was in the 4.9 range..lol.. What's new with the cycle? I've yet to hear from anybody but I only applied at the end of December...

• I agree!!!
• Tuesday, February 03 2009 at 01:27 PM

I tried to stress that strongly in my addendum. I spent well over 50 hours a week preparing. Once you sign that football scholarship, It's like signing your life away. I wish adcomms would realize how tough it is to play at the collegiate level. Especially at the Division1a level. I think my top few would be Seattle U, U of San Francisco, U of Oregon and UNLV.

• Wow
• Thursday, February 12 2009 at 11:15 AM

You're having a crazy cycle (in a good way). Congrats on your acceptances! Leaning towards any school in particular?

• Top Choices
• Friday, February 13 2009 at 06:44 AM

I'm pretty much ready to send in my $50 deposit to UGA at this point! I went for a visit, have received freindly phone calls, and got a little scholarship to help tuck me in at night. Why not right? lol I don't know anything about Pitt, W&L is super tiny in the middle of nowhere, and I like Wake. The girl from UGA told me when she saw there weren't any hair or nail salons in Lexington she knew where she was going. And that's all I needed to hear lol

• W&L
• Sunday, February 22 2009 at 05:48 PM

Sure, but I'm very picky and hard to please so I don't want to sway you any which way by how my visit goes lol

• waitlists..
• Thursday, February 26 2009 at 09:21 AM

yes, i think i'm going to ride on all the waitlists so far, except for Cardozo's. i'm thinking of sending Columbia a LOCI, even though chances are slim that i'll actually get off. congrats on your cycle so far, too! have you decided on a school yet?

• Wake Forest
• Friday, February 27 2009 at 09:53 AM

Hey congrats on Wake Forest it is my top choice. Been in committee review for a month. Where you thinking of going?

• Friday, February 27 2009 at 01:04 PM

Haha... Thanks very much. I'm sure to withdraw it if I get in. But that's an "if". It's been such a crap shoot (ex, waitlisted at BU & GW but accepted at UVA & Berk)!!! Go figure! Best of luck though!

• Saturday, February 28 2009 at 08:19 AM

Haha... believe me, I'd sell all my spots (if it worked that way) and put the money toward the out of state tuition I'm going to have to pay! I'm sure you'll get into USC though! No worries...

• congrats to you as well!
• Monday, March 09 2009 at 07:22 PM

hey thanks a lot! congrats to you as well on your u wisc acceptance. hmm its hard to say what top choice is, so many schools to hear from and i really need to see fin aid packages. i'll check the fordham waitlist as long as it seems like a good idea to do so. how about you? whats your top choice? looks like you have some pretty great options yourself.

• LoL
• Tuesday, March 10 2009 at 09:47 AM

you can keep W&L... don't want to move to lexington VA! congrats on the acceptance =)

• Wisc
• Wednesday, March 11 2009 at 09:27 AM

Congrats on Wisconsin and all your other acceptances!

• Will do...
• Wednesday, March 11 2009 at 06:02 PM

Thanks for the reminder. That's actually my plan first thing this Saturday. Best wishes the rest of your cycle.

• Thanks
• Thursday, March 12 2009 at 02:43 PM

Good Luck to you man...Congrats on W & L really wanted to apply there my self.

• Wow
• Monday, March 16 2009 at 12:05 PM

And I thougt I applied to too many school lol. Well done man.

• Wisconsin
• Monday, March 16 2009 at 03:27 PM

Unless something miraculous happens. Madison native too, so in-state tuition + fellowship + diploma privilege is crazy incentive. How about you?

• W&L
• Tuesday, March 17 2009 at 02:10 AM

I decided to withdraw so I'm not going to visit. Taking everything into consideration, UGA is just too good to pass up for me. How about you? Made any decisions?

• santa clara
• Saturday, March 21 2009 at 03:36 PM

I am sorry for SCU. Did you get the official letter?

• Thank you!
• Monday, March 30 2009 at 11:02 PM

...for the congratulations. Have you decided on a school yet?

• Wash U
• Tuesday, March 31 2009 at 11:11 AM

Yeah Wash U's tuition deposit is due tomorrow. I just paid it online today. It's refundable as long as you let the admissions committee know by May 1 that you won't be enrolling. Sooo it's my back-up plan in case Vandy doesn't come through. W&L and Wisconsin are pretty good schools. Is there one you're leaning towards more?

• Thursday, April 02 2009 at 09:37 AM

You've probably already thought of this, but I think one of the most important things to consider is where you eventually want to practice. Money should come later down on the list. Yes debt can be scary but you have two great schools so you most certainly find a job. I am not sure what type of law you want to get into but that is also an important factor. At Wisconsin, you will dominate the legal market in the area you'd probably be able to maneuver around to Illinois and Indiana as well. But at Washington & Lee you'd be near D.C., which is one of the top 3 legal markets in the nation, and is good for all types of law. Plus they have the new Third Year Law Difference, which actually helps to prepare you to become a practicing lawyer (very crucial). So do you want to be stuck in the Midwest for a good chunk of your career or stuck in Virginia for 3 years with the possibility of moving elsewhere. Good Luck. Here is a site I found helpful for potential job prospects. www.nalpdirectory.com You can check the ones in each area to see how many people from each school work there.

• Thursday, April 02 2009 at 01:47 PM

That's pretty cool that we want to do the same thing and are in virtually the same boat (Loyola didn't offer me any scholarship money). I'm pretty sure that I want to eventually come back to LA so Loyola is looking pretty nice to me right now. Chicago-Kent is great, I think actually going there and talking to the admissions staff and a couple of professors helped me. But, if you want to practice in Chicago, I'd say Wisconsin, but you are going up against the powerhouses in Chicago, but you will be fine. Plus Fole & Lardner is big in Milwaukee and they have ties to the Packers. Good Luck and keep in touch. Sean

• i've decided...
• Monday, April 06 2009 at 09:48 AM

I'm going to Cornell! made a decision yet?

• W&L
• Monday, April 06 2009 at 12:08 PM

W&L, I go there now, you wont regret it

• Wash U
• Tuesday, April 07 2009 at 03:10 PM

Yeah, the "hold" at Wash U is better than the "waitlist." Since they over-admitted so many people last year they're just being really picky this year. I'm pretty certain you can get off the list though. Good Luck!

• Wisconsin over W&L
• Thursday, April 09 2009 at 12:20 PM

I think that you got a full ride plus you did not have to take the bar if you practice in Wisconsin

• WISCONSIN
• Friday, April 10 2009 at 07:42 AM

Well, if you want the best shot possible to practice in DC then choose W&L! If you're thinking about Chicago, go Wisconsin all the way! Personally, I'd choose Wisconsin b/c there's nothing around W&L (it's in the middle of nowhere). However, I was shocked when I found out how beautiful the town of Madison is (and it's right on the water). Wisconsin seems a little more enjoyable!

• Friday, April 10 2009 at 10:02 AM

Sounds like a reasonable plan. Hopefully, I'll see you in a little over a year! All the best!

• wow! it sure pays to be a nig
• Tuesday, April 14 2009 at 04:40 PM

with a 150 LSAT score u should be attending a fourth tier school, instead b/c ur a negro u will be going to a top 50 school. im disgusted and will now commence puking up my supper.

• idiots
• Tuesday, April 14 2009 at 08:36 PM

i am so shocked that in 2009 people still use words like nig but like it was too far to just go ahead and type what he really wanted to say..... as a white chick who dated a black guy I used to hate when my guy would say that "whitey" is still racist but i saw it when we dated and saw it again tonight. Man god help us if that guy is going to be a leader in any community. Best of luck - guess i couldn't help but send you a shout out and express some outrage. Good luck and what goes around comes around - hopefully, that guy will trip over his own ignorance.

• Thanks!
• Wednesday, April 15 2009 at 09:24 PM

Where are you leaning towards? I think USF will be a great fit for me. I hear nothing but great things about the school and the city. I'm going to visit next week..Just hoping for a little schollie money!

• Thursday, April 16 2009 at 06:10 AM

Haha...if Northwestern surprises me with an April/May gift I just might be in Chicago. If it's any consolation I hear Virginia warms up in the summer. I am not sure about Wisconsin though. At least it'll motivate you to study.

• That's wassup!
• Thursday, April 16 2009 at 09:06 AM

Yes hopefully we can both get in WASH U!!!!!!!

• Saturday, April 18 2009 at 09:05 AM

CONGRATS! WAY TO BEAT THE ODDS!!! Good for you for ignoring ignorance and JEALOUSY!! It's apparent someone is feeling inadequate about his shortcomings lol. Thanks for addressing it with maturity! I wish you all the best!!

• Wash U
• Wednesday, April 22 2009 at 08:06 AM

Not really feeling St. Louis...And for what I want to do during and after law school...Vandy is just a better fit. Not to mention, I like their programs a lot more.

• Thursday, April 23 2009 at 04:40 AM

Haven't decided yet. Just waiting to see what happens and talking w/ my parents about my options...or lack thereof.

• Friday, April 24 2009 at 12:12 PM

"To other URMs, especially blacks..." No, what you should say is "To blacks only" Latinos don't get the ridiculous boosts that Black people. We don't get a boost at all, actually. So please, learn this: we might all be "URMs", but we're not all the "same", don't fool the public because for some reason they seem to think that we get the same boosts, when this is completely and utterly false.

• Friday, April 24 2009 at 12:31 PM

Wassup man. So what school did you send a seat deposit to? The anonymous person who left a comment is truly ignorant. A couple of my applications aked: Are you Latino/a? If not, check your race. Anyways, I think it's pretty official with me going to Loyola.

• to anonymous
• Friday, April 24 2009 at 12:34 PM

I never said we are all the same and we get the same boost, so don't put words into my mouth. Latino's don't get a boost at all? You can't be serious. There are plenty of Latino's (some on this site) that have gotten into t14 schools because of a boost. Check your facts before you start poppin off at the mouth son.

• Friday, April 24 2009 at 05:43 PM

Everything is good over here. Wisconsin seems pretty lax. I guess they really want to get people there and keep them there, with the diploma privilege and what not. Well it seems like you want to transfer, so good luck with that. But maybe you will really like it. Would you stay at WUSTL if you got in?

• Looks like Wisco..
• Monday, April 27 2009 at 06:49 PM

$$ trumped it all in the end... You any closer to a decision yet?

• Thanks
• Monday, May 04 2009 at 11:16 AM

for the congrats and congrats on all your acceptances as well. Have you made a decision?

• never on schedule, but always on time
• Thursday, May 07 2009 at 08:07 PM

ugh, believe me, i'm still kicking myself for not getting all my apps done sooner... i was really overwhelmed by the whole process (for a variety of reasons) i was initially tempted to wait and reapply next year (especially since i think i could have done better on the lsat) but i'm not convinced it would be worth it to wait a year. i'm really excited about fordham, and if a waitlist comes through it'll be icing on the cake :) i'm a procrastinator til the bitter end, wasting time on the internet instead of finally finishing all my LOCIs...

• Friday, May 08 2009 at 11:56 AM

Ya it's all about trying to network. There are going to be a string of no's, but it's all about getting your foot in the door. I was told that people are much more willing to help you now rather than when you are just desperate for a job. Even talk to your future classmates. We all aspire to be great lawyers and knowing them will be extremely beneficial down the road. I think that is the only potentially bad thing about transferring, as you lose some of the strong 1L connections.

• congrats!
• Saturday, May 09 2009 at 11:16 AM

Thank you for your message. At this point, where are you thinking of going?

• Thursday, May 28 2009 at 08:10 AM

A full ride to a Tier 1 law school and you don't have to take the bar exam. I am just a tad bit envious. haha. Good Luck to you. I expect to hear great things about a kid from Brooklyn.

• Schools
• Thursday, May 28 2009 at 09:29 PM

hey congrats on the schools, I have similar LSAT scores and was wondering what your secret was to getting into great schools? good luck with everything

• Thanks Fam!!
• Friday, June 26 2009 at 08:11 AM

I believe I will choose Oregon. Their basketball and football program have tons of players getting drafted. Not to mention, Nike was established there. I personally know Ernie Kent, OU's head basketball coach. This could be big.... I also believe with me wanting to be an entreprenuer and sports agent, less debt is the way to go. Not to mention they have a better rep and richer history. I don't think I can turn down the better school that is also a lot cheaper. Off tuition alone and living expenses, I will be saving around 40 k....

• ...
• Friday, June 26 2009 at 06:42 PM

I chose OREGON. It was too good to pass up. Now I have to focus and make the most of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try my best to build some NIKE contacts!!! I'll have a chance to scout PAC-10 players every week..I'm excited. Not the big city life, but it will allow me to grind and be succesful...

• Hey

I've been owatching this site for 10months anf Peopleofcolor.com I would like to know if I could compare my personal statement to yours.
