Additional Information
11/11--The majority of my applications are now in but I'm intending on applying to a few more schools in the very near future...I just wish apps weren't so pricey seeing as volunteering does not leave me with a lot of extra funding. Love the fee waivers, even the ones that are a hidden surprise...
11/15--Time to start researching scholarship opportunities! Anyone have any suggestions?
11/21-- In at FSU and MSU so far!
11/25-- I received a full-tuition Trustee Scholarship from MSU!!! I got a very nice phone call from the law school this afternoon and then received the official paperwork in the mail this evening. I'm still in a state of shock and so did not see this coming!
12/05-- I'm officially not a huge fan of playing the waiting game now...and it's only the beginning of December! Good thing the majority of my schools don't have a status checker or I would be a basket case!
12/08-- I'm now kind of wishing I put in apps at a few other schools...Ugh, I hate the what ifs/what could've been thoughts...
12/09-- In at UF!!

I see that we have similar numbers, (LSAT and close gpa), also a couple of the same fee waivers. Just wanted to wish you well this cycle.
MSU Sunday, October 26th, 2008 at 11:38 pm
Hey! Saw you got a fee waiver for MSU, can you let me know how you got it? Thanks:)
Fee Waivers Monday, October 27th, 2008 at 11:17 am
hey, looks like we're similar applicants (based on numbers). how did you get your fee waivers? any help would be appreciated, thx! good luck
Best wishes Saturday, November 1st, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Hey we're applying to some similar schools... best wishes to you!
Fee Waivers Monday, November 3rd, 2008 at 11:54 am
I go my Northwestern fee waiver through email. I know the feeling though, applications plus the cost of the LSDAS reports are CRAZY, so I'm checking my email and mailbox DAILY for any fee waivers to make this process easier. I remember when I didn't apply my senior year, I got a lot of fee waivers starting in mid to late November. So hopefully they will start rolling in for us.
Good Luck Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
FSU is probably my first choice because I want to do something with government and I would like to be in the capitol. I am ug at UF right now, and while we do have a great law school, I'm ready to be done with Gainesville, so that takes UF down a peg for me. Good luck to you!
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Congrats on the FSU acceptance, also! Hopefully mine will come soon.
FSU Monday, November 10th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Congrats on your first acceptance this cycle! That's pretty exciting. I began sending out my apps this weekend. I guess the waiting game has begun for us.
FSU Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Congrats...since you wrote that you were worried about funding for apps.. Have you thought about applying to Brooklyn Law? The app is free, its a great school- I just applied. Take a look, tell me what you think..
Thanks!! Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I'm really excited to see how the rest of the process plays out! Best of luck with your cycle :)
Congrats Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
on FSU!!!
Deans Certi Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
no as far as Im concerned you need it to be submitted to the law school so that your application can be considered complete. I didnt know i needed one for cornell and they would not process the app without it. Good luck to you as well!
True.... Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 9:02 am
...waiting is the hardest part. But good news is, you got your first acceptance early on in the cycle. That's a great way to start off.
Hmm...Let me Check... Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I sent the Dean's Cert to my school a couple of weeks ago. Now that you mention it...let me call down there and confirm they got it and sent it off. I would hate that to be the hold up. I wish we could fast forward to April and know where we're going.
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Exactly how I feel.. One little document in this incredible process and they wont even look at the app. When I sent in the cert letter to my undergrad I had to keep calling and harrising them to make sure they send it out. Let me know if you have any other questions.. i will do the same.
Dean Cert Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Just got a response from the dean at my undergrad stating they mailed out the cert form a few days ago. I got a confirmation that my app was delivered today. So hopefully if they received the dean's cert before the app, they held onto it.
Hmm...this is a lot to consider and keep checking up on.

Cert follow up Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I just visited the school websites of all the schools I'm applying to. Cornell was the only one requiring the Cert. So none for BU that I came across.
Congrats Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Thanks for the wishes!
Congrats on your acceptance to FSU!! Great way to start your cycle.

Congrats!!! How did you hear? What do you mean by researching scholarship opps? PM or reply on here, I privated my profile :P
Thank You Saturday, November 15th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
I see that you have already been accepted to FSU, congrats on that. When did you apply? I hope the acceptances keep rolling in for you, good luck.
acceptances! Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Congrats... on both. Which would you choose over the other? Im soo excited about just hearing from schools...
Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 2:09 am
Congrats on FSU and MSU! It looks like your cycle isn't going too badly either :)
...waiting Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
...you know, it's only been a couple of weeks, and this waiting process is KILLING ME! LOL. I'm really wanting to fast forward to January or February.
You're right... Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
...I'm just being impatient. LOL. I'll sit back and let the waiting game continue. Hope to see big things for both of us.
YEEEEEEESSSS!!! Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
CONGRATS! That's so exciting. I'm really happy for you. See...big things. And it's still early in the cycle, so I'm sure it's the first of many.
Friday, December 5th, 2008 at 3:05 am
HOLY COW!!! What a HUGE scholarship offer! Congratulations :) That's truly amazing.
Funny thing is... Friday, December 5th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
I am a status checker basket case. I told you I would be. I'm going to try to see how long I can go without checking it. I'll let you know when I crack.
good luck Monday, December 8th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
good luck on your cycle! our numbers are identical!!
Positive thoughts Monday, December 8th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.I will send some your way as well.
Do it!! Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 9:02 am
It's not too late to apply. If you really want to, you should apply to a few other schools that you'd really consider. No regrets...GO FOR IT!
UGA Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Thanks!!
UF Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Congratulations on UF...when did your status change to decision made/mailed?
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Gotcha! Well congrats! Leaning towards any school?
Congrats Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Congrats on UF! You're having a great cycle thus far :)
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 8:00 am
My dreams are Northwestern, UPenn and Cornell because they are top 14 schools and their degrees are more portable. Great GPA, GREAT softs, bad LSAT, URM, 2 yrs work experience....hopefully one of them will pull through. If one doesn't I will probably end up at UGA...I went to UF for undergrad and UGA is higher ranked. We shall see. Thoughts? What type of law do you want to practice?
Thank you! Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Thank you for the congratulations and well wishes. I am honored that I can serve as an inspiration to some. This whole thing is a surreal experience, and I don't think it has sunk in yet.
And congratulations on your acceptances as well! You have some fantastic options already and I'd put money on you hearing much more good news before the cycle is over.
I hope all is well with you and yours and you have a wonderful holiday season.

Public Interest here also. I am currently a Teach For America corps member...definitely plan to continue to work with an underserved population.

How did you hear from FSU?
Congrats Monday, December 15th, 2008 at 5:08 am
on UF. I just got in myself this past weekend. I hope the acceptances continue.
thanks! Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 at 12:21 am
and congrats to you too! you're off to one great start!
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 at 10:14 am
When did you apply to UF and FSU? I'm just trying to get an idea of how long it takes to get a decision.
UF or FSU Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 at 1:10 am
Considering FSU and UF are nearly indistinguishable in prestige and ranking what is your top choice between the two and why?
