Additional Information
I just completed all my applications. What a relief. I was somewhat disappointed with my Lsat score but I have confidence that someone will let me in. I am hoping to be admitted to Northeastern since I love their co-op program but, I'll be happy anywhere.
I think I have alot to offer any school. I just hope they see that and let me in the door.
Good luck to all those who are in my same LSAT range. Just remember it is just a number and has nothing to do with your overall capabilities. Like I alway say " Know your worth and everyone else will too."
Best of luck!!!

*Decisions*
02-02-07-Found out that Hofstra sent an acceptance email to everyone who applied. So I guess I'm still waiting on their decision.
02-05-07-Rejected from St. Johns. Kind of expected it but it still stings. I hope I get some good news soon.
02-06-07-Accepted to NYLS AAMPLE program. If anyone has any information about this program please share.
02-07-07-In at Hofstra. I'm so happy a tier 2 school took a chance on me and I got a scholarship to boot. Now lets see what other news the mailman brings.
02-16-07- In at FCSL. The tuition is right but I'm not sure if I'm ready for the move yet. I'll have to weigh out all my options in March.
02-23-07-In at NESL and Suffolk. Wow I can't believe these acceptances. I have choices after all.
02-24-07-Rejected from BC. No worries, I still have four acceptances and many more decisions to come.
03-04-07-Awarded a 15K grant for my first year from Suffolk. This decision process is getting harder.
03-05-07-Waitlisted at Pace. I guess my LSAT score wasn't high enough. I love White Plains and would like to live there but we'll see what happens towards the end of the cycle.
03-15-07-Rejected from Fordham. Kinda of disappointed though expected. This almost eliminates my hopes of getting into BU. Too bad!!
03-16-07-Withdrew from Florida Coastal. This was a super saftey school and now that I know I have choices, I want to free up spots for others who really want to attend.
03-26-07-Rejected from Rutgers-Newark. A bit disappointed since they say that they will review you based on accomplishments. I think they are too concerned with their tier status to try and recruit quality candidates. I will take my rejection in stride and be the best law student I can be elsewhere.
03-28-07-No decisions today but I thought I'd write anyway. I am having a really tough time deciding which school to attend. I went to a diversity OH at Suffolk and a ASW at Hofstra and based soley on my experiences there I would choose Suffolk but I am still curious about the financial awards. Nesl is lagging behind but I have an ASW tomorrow there and you never know. This process is so confusing I am so scared that I wont pick the best school for me. Wish me luck!!!
03-31-07-Went to a NESL open house and decided to withdraw. I won't share my entire experience but I will say that a curent student said, "NESL is like high school. They have cliques and you have to find one that you fit into." Need I say more.
04-03-07-OMG Suffolk is officially a tier 3 school according to US NEWS 2008 report. I am super excited. This school is doing big things and I just may want to be apart of it.
04-07-07-Rejected from NUSL. I'm a little hurt by this but I am happy with all my acceptance thus far. I am putting down a deposit at Suffolk today and waiting on the financials from Hofstra before making my final decision. It is looking like I will be headed to Suffolk.
04-09-07-Awarded 8K more from Hofstra. I will withdraw soon. My decision has been made.
05-01-07-Awarded 3K more from Suffolk. I love this school!!
05-11-07-Accepted to Pace. I still want to attend Suffolk but all my family is in NY. Tough decision indeed.
I will be attending Suffolk as a 2010 1L.
O.k. So I gave it alot of thought and I am completly confused. Should I go to Suffolk or Pace? I want to practice entertainment law. What school would be best for me?
Final Decision: I will be attending Pace Law School as a 2010 1L. It just makes more sense for me financially and geographically.
I think I have alot to offer any school. I just hope they see that and let me in the door.

Pace Acceptance Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007 at 9:38 am
Hey, thanks! Pace acceptance came in a large white envelope...you'll know it's an acceptance. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do well...
Nicely put Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
I completely agree with your LSAT comment. Schools place way too much emphasis on the LSAT, and it's preventing talented people, such as yourself, from applying/getting in to the schools they want. I hope you get into Northeastern. Best of luck!
TOP Choice Saturday, January 13th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Thanks! I'd say my top choices right now are Notre Dame and Wisconsin, but I'm a longshot at both. I'm really happy with my acceptances right now, and would definitely be happy at South Carolina or Syracuse. I agree with your LSAT comment, best of luck to you!!
Northeastern Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Wow..I'll love to go to Northeastern too...I hope they at least take a look at my application with my LSAT score....I hope ur deferral there comes in favourable for you
NESL Sunday, January 21st, 2007 at 12:55 pm
I applied in ealier September...my application was probably one of these first recieved.
Entertainment Law Sunday, January 21st, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Hey. UCLA has an amazing Entertainment Law program. If you're curious about schools that might have some classes related to entertainment law I've found that if you look under Intellectual Property courses that this is usually where it's listed. But unfortunately the schools with amazing and well respected Entertainment Law programs happen to be UCLA, USC, Cal, Columbia and NYU. Basically schools in LA or in NY have some kind of emphasis since this is where you would end up working. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you!! Thursday, January 25th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Thank you for the tip...I definitely have to get out there and check out the area.
Good luck!!!
Good luck!!!
Pace Tuesday, January 30th, 2007 at 8:16 pm

good luck.

Thanks for the encouragement! It looks like you've got a great lineup of schools you've applied to. I wish you the best of luck in the application process!
NYLS Thursday, February 8th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Hey, I also got into NYLS AAMPLE today. I know that NYLS and Nova have the same AAMPLE program, and Nova's is supposedly very poor. Last year, only 7/80 people in Nova's AAMPLE actually made it into law school. I've heard it's a major rip-off and haven't heard any positive comments. NYLS could have a higher success rate than Nova even though it's the exact same program--I can't find any data. Congratulations on Hofstra, though! Best of luck in the rest of the cycle!
Deans Monday, February 12th, 2007 at 1:03 am
Hofstra: Deans Scholarship, 20k annually as long as I keep above a 3.2 there. Noticed you got into NYLS. Im visiting NY next week to tour Hofstra and NYLS, whats your top choice?
First Choice Monday, February 12th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Really hoping for Pace, Temple, Villanova, or St Johns. I know they're all long shots with my numbers, but maybe I'll get a waitlisted acceptance.
If they alll reject me, I may very well be seeing you at NYLS come august.

hofstra Monday, February 12th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
NY law school is my 1st choice...and no $ from hofstra!
hofstra Monday, February 12th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
which do u think is better?
northeastern Tuesday, February 13th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
heres my email...email me so i have yours...talk that way
hofstra Tuesday, February 13th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
thanks for the info! how did they inform you that u had gotten into the AAMPLE? did it specify?
good luck
good luck
NYLS Tuesday, February 13th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
No AAMPLE Admission here. Waiting on my other schools -- just hoping that LSAT's don't control my entire future and the other parts of my application are actually reviewed. Anyway, best of luck to you and please stay in touch as I'd love to hear your future acceptances etc.

nyls Wednesday, February 14th, 2007 at 10:09 am
Thank you, I appreciate your advice. The decision to put down the deposit was a very hard one, and after speaking to many academic advisors and the Career Services here, they all suggested I put down the deposit to keep my options open, especially condsidering how my numbers are. Obviously, if I do get in somewhere else, I will take that opportunity instead. Good luck with the rest of your apps!
Pace Interview Wednesday, February 14th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
Did you interview with a Pace counselor or with an Alumni? I interviewed with an Alumni in the Philadelphia area.
Pace Thursday, February 15th, 2007 at 10:31 am
I did an interview with Linda Lancia last week. Lasted less than 10 minutes. I hope it helped, because Pace is pretty high on my list.
Hofstra Thursday, February 15th, 2007 at 11:29 am
I'm hopign I have the same luck with Hofstra as you did. It is really pissing me off that the schools can't see past my LSAT scores and see I have never earned lower than a B in my collge career and am graduating in 3 years with one semester being a full-time internship with the NYS Senate. Anyway, I calle dall the schools and they all said my file is being reviewed by their comm.'s so hopefully I hear soem good news soon. Congrats and best of luck to you and please stay in touch - any comments will be helpful and appreciated!
"Grats on Hofstra Thursday, February 15th, 2007 at 9:06 pm
and thank you for your kind words as well. My pop went to undergrad at Hofstra and liked it. It is nice to see that every once in a while adcomms look at more than just your LSAT (especially when you do much better on a prep test but not as well on test day). Any areas of the law you are focusing on? I am undecided what to pursue at Flo Co but they have strong health and sports law programs. I wish you all the best as a 1L

Love it!!! Friday, February 16th, 2007 at 2:35 am
Your LSAT comments and comments about self worth are so inspiring. I loved it! I am in a different boat because my LSAT is what is getting me my serious looks and saving my disgusting GPA.
Well congrats on the HOFSTRA acceptance and be blessed throughout the rest of your cycle.

Not sure Friday, February 16th, 2007 at 11:19 am
about which areas will appeal to me the most. My SPCA work guides me toward animal law, but 2 areas that are rapidly expanding in Fla are elder care and health law (especially with all the baby boomers retiring) and consumer law (fraud and identity theft). I'm sure I will change my mind a few times before deciding. Peace
Congratulations! Tuesday, February 20th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Way to go on your acceptance to Florida Coastal...and a scholarship too!? That's great--I'm sure you'll see even more acceptances in the weeks to come. Congratulations to a future attorney!
Big Kuddos! Thursday, February 22nd, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Great Job! We're both applying to Pace & New England. I am thinking about considering Hofstra. What are you thoughts about the school?
Congrats Sunday, February 25th, 2007 at 11:19 am
all on your acceptances so far. Did you write a separate diversity statement for Fordham?
Congrats Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 at 8:30 am
... on Suffolk and Hofstra. Why Suffolk over Hofstra, I wonder? Massachusetts native?
Comments Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 at 8:51 am
Being a Bay Stater, I'm of the opinion that Suffolk is HIGHLY overrated. They do place well in the Boston market (top 10% or so) and most smaller cities and towns in Massachusetts and the nearby parts of New England (RI, NH, ME, not so much VT or CT) if you're top-half. The bottom half has a hard time scraping up a job, though, and the bottom quarter is pretty screwed.
Hofstra is a better school overall, I think, but it has a narrower range in which to place its graduates.

suffolk Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 at 11:15 am
Hey, noticed your Suffolk/Hofstra dilemma...I know little about Hofstra, but know several very successful attorneys who went to Suffolk...I've heard that the job market for Suffolk grads in Boston and RI is excellent. Also, if you're interested in trial ad, it's probably the best in Boston.
Just giving my two cents...
Just giving my two cents...
yet with your $$$ from Hofstra... Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 at 11:18 am
well that's a different story. Suffolk IS very expensive, as is Boston...However, Hofstra should place well in NYC and NJ.
thanks Wednesday, February 28th, 2007 at 11:49 am
so much...I was sweating that one!
Is ALS my top choice? Probably not, but I don't think I'll get into U. Wisconsin or Brooklyn. I think Albany is a very underrated school, and that I'll be very happy there and get a great education.
Having said that, if I somehow got into either Rutgers or St. John's I'd have quite a decision to make. I'm hoping for the PT program at those two.
As for Suffolk, I think it's a great school, but I'd like to get a bit further away from home (Providence, RI).

UMKC is my top choice, then Washburn. I should hear from KC this week, and I'm pulling my f-ing hair out. Yours?
Thanks. Wednesday, February 28th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
I didn't write a diversity statement. I only submitted a regular personal statement. Congrats on all your acceptances so far as well.
By the way Wednesday, February 28th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
Is Hofstra a tier 2? I was under the impression that it was tier 3.
Congrats Wednesday, February 28th, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Thank you for your kind comment. I'm very happy to see you got in Hofstra. Good luck with everything else!
I know nothing. Thursday, March 1st, 2007 at 10:40 am
They all seem like good schools, but remember that each school is going to be a good fit for somebody. Best of luck.
BTW Thursday, March 1st, 2007 at 10:41 am
Hofstra deserves a good, hard look.
thanks Friday, March 2nd, 2007 at 9:42 am
thanks for the kind words. You look like you're doing pretty well too. I'm leaning towards FIU because I live in S. Florida and its cheap. Congrats on Hofstra.
Hey Monday, March 5th, 2007 at 3:15 am
Thanks for the reassuring comment, congrats on the acceptances.
choices Tuesday, March 6th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Thanks...right now im kind of torn between staying in NY or going to Fl. So for now my top choice is Pace
which school Thursday, March 8th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Hey, I saw your message on my board. I would recommend Hofstra for you since they offered you money. The school is really diverse and everyone has heard of it. A suffolk degree is useless outside of Boston. Pace is really expensive unless they offer you $. New England School is good only for Boston as well but the benefit is that you'd be more likely to place near the top of your class. Hope this helps! Good luck with your decision! Feel free to email me.
thanks! Thursday, March 8th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
Thanks for the nice comment... yeah, having no GPA is odd. I am not too happy with my lsat score, but I have only gotten one acceptance. Everyday I hope for more choices...
Good luck with all yours!
Good luck with all yours!
Northeastern Admission?? Friday, March 9th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Mlaw, i know you are very keen on Northeastern. I got an email inviting to an admitted students event, but I am being careful just incase its a mistake. Maybe something is coming in the mail..I hope so
not sure Friday, March 9th, 2007 at 5:30 pm
Hey! I still haven't decided yet, but I've withdrawn from a bunch of schools and as of now I have it narrowed down to Santa Clara and Rutgers Camden for the ones that have accepted me. Santa Clara has a really good IP law program so it's kind of winning out right now. But if DePaul pulls me off their waitlist I would go there since they have a good IP program AND it's in a big city. But I still have some schools to hear back from. What about you?
Top Choice Monday, March 12th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Right now it is Rutgers-Newark, but if I don't get in there I am going to look at Suffolk and NESL. Hopefully NYLS will eventually say yes and I might go there. Still waiting on Denver and San Diego, would like to leave the NY area if I had a chance. Good luck on the rest of your apps!!
Fl Coastal Tuesday, March 13th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
How did you get the scholarship from Fl. Coastal and how did they let you know abou it. Congrats on your acceptances.
Withdraw Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
That was a cute message... i hope I get your spot too. :o)
Question Thursday, March 15th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
I think that message appears when the person fails to put anything in the title or subject line of the post. It must be the web page creators attempt at humor...
decision Monday, March 19th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
So, you getting close to making a decision? I got an envelope from Hofstra thinking it was a rejection because it was thin. I opened and it was something about replacing the dean..phew
SUFFOLK Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 at 2:57 pm
My reasons for liking Suffolk are as follows:
1. Beautiful building in the heart of Boston
2. Very nice people so far, I like the atmosphere
3. Liked the law library
4. Solid bar passage rate in-state and out of state (85% I think)
5. They have a spring break!
6. Personal reason: Near my girlfriend's school in Boston
7. Good reputation, especially in RI where I might plan on working/living
8. Realistic about LSAT - automatically take higher score
9. Have heard very good things from alumni

Suffolk Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Yo man,
suffolk is lookin like the place for me, after an interveiw i had and seeing the building/friends who go/went there talkin to me, it seems awesome.

Let me know if there are any q's, I was torn between NESL and Suffolk but i felt suffolk has better prospects, buildings and it was a quality fit.

suffolk Saturday, March 24th, 2007 at 2:05 am
word, i didn't know bout the grading scale...but I do know that Suffolk places really well in Boston...thats where i wanna work! Hofstra with $$$ looks good for you, and you have some sweet options, good luck with whatever you choose.
Congrats! Monday, March 26th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Congrats on your acceptance to Hofstra Law! It is a great program and I hope I get in too. What was your gpa?
Withdraw Monday, March 26th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
No, I want to withdraw from Western New England. I heard that they are on the verge of loosing their ABA accreditation. Thanks for the Help
Hofstra Monday, April 2nd, 2007 at 12:59 pm
The motivating factor is, really, a lack of options and Hofstra's being the best option. To be honest, though, I was pleased with my visit to the university, and there are certainly factors that I am thrilled with. Professor Monroe Freedman is THE BEST there is when it comes to legal ethics. I love the proximity to the city. I love the 2 week summer program in Sorrento, Italy that is regularly taught by US Supreme Court Justices. So, basically, it's the best option I currently have, and that's why I'm going. But I like Hofstra. I don't know why everyone hates on them so hard.
Suffolk/Hofstra Monday, April 2nd, 2007 at 2:12 pm
Good luck to you too. I'm sure you'll make an educated decision. FYI, the attorney at my firm that everyone turns to for legal writing advice graduated from Suffolk. Best of luck!
NESL Open House Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Hi! Yes I did go to the open house last Friday. I thought it could have been organized better, but overall I got a good impression of the school. The students and professors I talked to were really nice, and I liked their clinical program. At the end of the day its hard to turn away from the scholarship $$ Good luck with your decision!!
Congratulations Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007 at 6:51 pm
You are having an amazing cycle. Best of luck to you as a 1L.

Suffolk Thursday, April 12th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
See you there in the fall.
Suffolk Saturday, April 14th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Wow! I just looked up Suffolk on US News & World Report and THEY ARE TIER 3!!!!!!! Wow! Anyway, I will also be attending Suffolk in the fall and I hope you do as well....i'm currently looking for housing and it looks pretty expensive. Any suggestions?
financial aid Thursday, April 26th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
I actually had applied for a reconsideration and then I called them today and they said a notice would be sent to me informing me of the increase.
Suffolk F/A Thursday, April 26th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
I asked on the 20th...this is renewable each year so long as I don't hit the lotto they said.
financial aid Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 at 6:50 am
that's awesome....congrats! I love them too.
PACE Friday, May 11th, 2007 at 11:56 pm
Congrats on Pace! How did they notify you? Any other info would be highly appreciated! Do you think you'll be attending? How much time did they give to you to decide? Thanks in advance for the info!
Hey Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
How are you? Thanks for your response. Have you made your final decision yet? I called Pace last week and asked them if i had any chance. I was told that the first year class was supposedly overbooked and they have too many deposits so unfortunately they cannot offer any more spots for waitlisted applicants so i'm kinda super depressed now. Now i'm waiting too see if everyone sends in their final deposits. Perhaps by some miracle a lot of ppl who sent in deposits have changed their minds/gone elsewhere. Oh well, life sucks :( I'll keep you posted.
