Extracurricular Information
I have what I would think are some fairly strong softs: Notably, I've worked ~30 odd hours a week through my entire undergraduate career, notably running and managing a small publishing outfit (among other responsibilities).
Additional Information
12-06-08 -- Received UMinnesota letter with offer of $20k/year scholarship so long as I maintain a 2.5 GPA. Also, they offer a travel reimbursement for visiting the school (up to $300 I think it is), but they'll only reimburse if you actually decide to attend. For those on the fence about attending, I don't think that should prove terribly compelling, "Wait, I only get the trip paid back *if* I actually attend?"
12-01-08 -- I received a pleasant email from UMinnesota saying, "We tried to call you earlier, blah blah, welcome to Minnesota Law!, package later." Responded pleasantly, I don't have the heart to tell them they'd need to offer me unspeakable things--blood sacrifice?--before I'd skip out on Texas or Duke or Texas or the like.
10-27-08 -- I realized I'd never gotten any kind of email verification or anything from Washington University so I sent them an email and apparently, yes, they've received my application and, yes, it is complete. They just didn't see any need to tell me as much. =\, oy.
11-01-08 -- I received my acceptance packet from UT! It was mailed 10/30, today I also received a phone call from Monica Ingram, Assistant Dean of Admissions, congratulating me and saying I could look forward to receiving scholarship info in about two weeks or so.
11-07-08 -- I got an acceptance email from Duke :). Mentally, Duke is the main competition for UT right now.
11-10-08 -- $21k from UT ($7k a year); I'm hoping I can figure out a way to get them to increase this amount.
11-20-08 -- Received acceptance from Georgetown--had a nice hand-scrawled note from Andy Cornblatt. It was post-marked 11/17/08 so that's when I marked the acceptance date above.
12-12-08 -- Received acceptance email from WashU; apparently being considered for one of their "Scholars In Law" awards. Hopefully they'll have some kind of travel dealie as I'd actually like to at least see the place.
01-06-08 -- I got an email from Jason Dugas, director of admissions at UVA, asking me to call him. I did so. I was accepted. Hoorah!

How'd you get the Chicago fee waiver? Did you ask for it?

I took a Powerscore weekend course in August, have just ordered the Logic Games Bible and am looking out for a private tutor...
hoping for at least a 10 pt increase here *crosses fingers*

I am excited! I had no idea I would hear this fast.
If UT gives you $ right away, will that be the end of your cycle? You have great numbers- I'm sure you have lots of acceptances to come!

congrats on your UT acceptance!
does that mean you're done with your cycle, and everything else that happens will be a plus?

I'd be happy with any of the T14. . . and really happy with Chicago.

I would love to go to UT! I think if I got a good scholarship offer they'd be at top of my list, right behind Yale.

Congrats on UT!
I'm very excited. UT is right at the top of my list.

Duke Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Congrats on acceptances so far! Did you write the "Why Duke?" essay?
Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Congratulations on Duke and Texas!
Duke Friday, November 14th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Yeah...I'm really regretting not writing the "Why Duke" essay, but I think I was just burnt out toward the end there. Anyway, good luck with UT...did they offer you in-state?
Update Friday, December 12th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Heh, yeah I do!
I get real excited and stuff. Gotta share it with the world!
Congrats on WUSTL! What's your first pick?

Well, I can't assume a Yale acceptance, that's for sure, but if I got in there, I think it would be REALLY hard to turn it down. If I don't, I'll have to take a long look at Harvard, but Texas still has a lot of other factors making it a really good draw for me.
I guess it's a three-way cage-match between UT v. Harvard v. the uncertainty of Yale acceptances.

Thanks for the good vibes...not sure when the score will be released either, right before or right after x-mas probably (though the website indicates they will be released on my birthday - 1/2)
How is everything on your end? What's your top choice? So far your cycle has been awesome, I look forward to seeking out it turns out!

Boalt is the only school I think could make my eye sway...but for the most part I only have eyes for Texas, its been a 5 year love affair since high school. It may be a pipe dream however...
