Additional info & updates

Thanking God for all of my offers. Have been blessed thus far.

11/16/12 - Got a call from Dean of UCLA while in class! First of the cycle. I am now going to law school after undergrad! Praying for many more to come.

11/28/12 - Got in Georgetown via snail mail right after taking Dec. LSAT. Earning me a spot in T14 ! The letter included a personal note from the dean--a nice touch.

12/04/12 - Got a call from Dean of Berkeley while studying for finals! This was totally unexpected. Dreams are coming a reality.

12/13/12 - Got into GW via email!

1/3/12 - I don't believe it. JS1 invite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a pivotal step in getting into Harvard.

1/8/12 - JS1 interview. I think it went well-ish.

1/10/13 - Accepted into NYU via DLS status and logging into Admitted Students Website!!!!!! A few minutes later I received the call from the Dean!!! Wow law school in The City. Just broke into T6!!!!

1/17/13 - Just received a very generous merit scholarship from GW via email! $$$$$$

1/29/13 - JS2. I received a call from JS while in the computer lab at school. Acceptance showed up on status checker immediately afterward. It was really difficult to contain myself so I went home. Whereupon, I withdrew from UPenn, UMichigan, GW, and UChicago. I'm still in disbelief.

2/8/13 - Received my first rejection of the cycle from the infamous Yale. The decision was sent via email and I was told it will be followed by a mailed copy. This is excellent because I definitely wanted to be rejected twice lol. Also, Withdrew from Georgetown.

This leaves me waiting on the last school, Columbia. Harvard is now my number one and only Columbia can convince me otherwise with scholarship offers. However, most likely, I'll be at H in the fall!

3/19/13 - Had the opportunity to tour Harvard, Columbia, and NYU this past week. I've decided to accept Harvard's offer.
