I completed every optional essay for every law school, including the addendum and diversity statement.

I think my LORs were unique, considering they were from law school alumni, including Tulane and Georgetown.

Additional info & updates

Hoping my GPA and extracurriculars make up for my not-so-stellar LSAT. T14 schools more of a pipe dream than an actual possibility, but I'm hopeful!

Scholarships are for 3-years

William & Mary
03/03/15 - acceptance in email.
03/06/15 - formal packet in the mail; scholarship included.
03/07/15 - phone call from admissions office (on a saturday...?) around 4pm.
Final Note: They sent about 10 emails/mail to me over the course of 1 month; it made me think they were really desperate. Withdrawing.

Harvard
03/03/15 - rejection in email. Not bothered by this, I expected it. Thought it was funny they "regret to inform me." Don't do things you regret, Harvard! Live your life to the fullest: accept me!

University of Maryland
03/06/15 - acceptance in email.
03/23/15 - formal packet in mail.
Final Note: This was my safety school, so I anticipated withdrawing if I got into any place that was higher-ranked. Withdrawing.

American
03/06/15 - acceptance in email.
03/09/15 - formal letter in mail.
03/21/15 - scholarship in email.
Final Note: This was my super-safety school. Kind of surprised at how small the scholarship is considering how much the school costs, it's ranking, and my scores in comparison to their averages. Regardless, withdrawing.

Tulane
03/06/15 - acceptance in email; scholarship included.
03/21/15 - formal packet in mail.
Final Note: This was my alternate safety if it provided a larger scholarship than UMD. Withdrawing.

George Washington
03/13/15 - accepted in email. Super excited about this!
03/21/15 - formal packet in mail.
04/01/15 - Sent an email asking for a scholarship; it's a long shot, but it's worth trying.

George Mason
03/13/15 - Accepted in email. Phone call almost immediately afterwards.
03/21/15 - formal letter in mail; scholarship included.

UVA
03/18/15 - waitlisted in email. Extremely surprised by this; I thought I had no chance whatsoever.
03/30/15 - Sent an email of continued interest. Response within 24 hours.

Boston University
03/23/15 - acceptance in phone call, around 5pm.
03/27/15 - formal packet in mail; scholarship included.

Duke
03/25/15 - rejection in email. No surprise there!

Yale
04/01/15 - rejection in email. April Fools joke maybe?

UPenn
04/06/15 - waitlist in email. I'm getting suspicious about these waitlists.... Accepted a spot immediately though.

Columbia
04/08/15 - rejection in formal mail. Pretty letter.

Georgetown
04/10/15 - rejection in email. Really REALLY bummed about this; it was my number one choice. Thought I'd get waitlisted.
