Additional Information
8/07: Studying for Sept. LSAT; will work on aps as time allows. Aiming for late-Oct filings.
9/25/07: LSAC dropped my UGPA from 3.0 to 2.85. Just to make things more interesting.
10/19/07: Received Sept. LSAT. Did not break 165 (minimum goal) so retaking. I stupidly misbubbled in three places.
11/10/07: Solidified list to twelve. Three weeks until Dec. LSAT.
12/01/07: Retook LSAT.
12/19/07: Ha ha ha, LSAT was the same as Sept. Going to try one more time in June.
3/25/08: Reordered all my PTs. Cracked open the Bibles once again.
7/3/08: June LSAT - 165. I'll take it! I guess I actually needed those glasses after all.
8/29/08: PS, DS, resume and addenda almost complete. Aiming for aps to be in by Sept. 30.
10/9/08: I was a little late getting out aps, but they're now beginning to trickle out. Hope to send out the final ones next week. Wondering if I should add a few more T20-40s.
11/11/08: Now complete at the first twelve schools to which I've applied. I'll probably put in six or so more when payday arrives (the pain of being relatively fee-waiver free.) Let the waiting begin.
12/01/08: Went to Decision on the GULC status checker on 11/28. No news as to what that yet means.
1/5/09: Haven't updated in a while, but I'm 2 for 4, still waiting on 13. Both Berkeley and Cornell have deferred me, the former for "faculty review", the latter, for consideration with the full applicant pool. Heard today from Minneapolis with scholarship information.

Unfortunately, I think I did baaaaaaah-dly. But there's always December, neh?

American Indian Monday, October 1st, 2007 at 6:20 pm
good to see another fellow american indian applying! What tribe are you from?
Tribe Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 at 10:24 am
jitcher, I'm Eastern Abenaki, Anasagunticook Band, with Maliseet and Penobscot relations as well. You?
SharkWeek... Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 at 10:28 am
I get that ALL the time. I wonder why.
But I changed my avatar to two little Abenaki girls (versus the previous Abenaki couple) - maybe that'll help in the future.

I'm Catawba (a really small, but federally recognized tribe) and Oneida. Good luck this cycle!
Hey, J Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 at 6:57 pm
I know of the Catawba - sorry to hear about the SCOTUS rejecting your case yesterday. Bad form.
Are you NY Oneida? My grandmother was Stockbridge-Mohican.

HEY! Friday, October 5th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Hey, I thought I'd up your views. You are going to rock this cycle and you don't even know it. Good luck with your LSAT score and all your apps!
Come on girl Friday, October 19th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
Don't keep us in suspense, how'd the LSAT come out for you?
Tag! Sunday, October 21st, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Good luck with your retake. I feel fully confident that you'll show us all exactly how a retake should be done.
LSAT! Saturday, July 5th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Yay successful retake!!
:D
:D
Thanks!! Friday, August 1st, 2008 at 11:34 pm
I haven't been too good about visiting other people (just lurking). Congrats on your successful retake! I'm sure you'll kick ass on this cycle.
Hey Friday, August 29th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Yup, I'm taking in October. It looks like we are applying to some of the same schools. Good luck during your cycle!
Thanks, MBW! Saturday, August 30th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Thanks for the positive waves. Best of luck with all of your applications. I know you'll find a school that you just love.
Harrassment Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I've reported your harrassing behavior to the LSN ethics committee. I imagine that their actions will be swift and brutal. ;)
Thanks! Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I appreciate your comment. I've been studying my posterior off for a while so hopefully it pays off. NDNs huh... LOL... I was trying to figure out the acronym for a second then realized what you were saying.
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Good luck this cycle!
Sunday, October 5th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Just wanted to say good luck! :D
Thanks... Monday, October 6th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Yeah I know that my soft factors will help, but I'm a slight perfectionist. I am going to work my tail off between now and December in order to increase my speed. I talked my decision over with several LSAT instructors and it was unanimous that I should wait for the December test. What can I say, the Air Force rubbed off on me... AIM HIGH!
Yo Thursday, October 9th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
If you're late getting apps out, I dunno what that makes me.
Still haven't finished apps.
Not done with all the app pieces.
Time to push the panic button?

What?? Friday, October 17th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
No COLUMBIA?!?!
hehe...jk...sort of...
so, are you deferring until fall 20*10* or are you starting this fall? if you are planning to defer anyway, any reason you are not waiting to apply next year? a lot of financial aid merit awards are not defer-able.

Deferred last year... Friday, October 17th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
This year, I'm good to go, whether they want me or not ;).
I've angsted over Columbia, but I have so many reaches as it is, I don't know if it's justifiable to throw more apps at schools unlikely to accept me. If only I'd received more fee waivers :/.
(hope you're enjoying Harlem - I was so happy for how your cycle turned out.)
