Good Luck Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 at 2:37 am
Your last is my first. I hope to get my apps in by Oct 1. Good luck with your cycle.
Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 5:59 am
I am applying to more, of course. so you have sent your apps in?
Quick Question Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Hey, I was hoping you could help me out real quick. How do you find out your LSDAS GPA, I sent in my transcipts already, but I am not sure where to find it. I would really appreciate your help!! And good luck this cycle, your stats are great!
Thanks Sunday, September 14th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Thank you for your help!! Keep in touch during the year and let me know how you're doing!
Monday, September 29th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
WOW! All the apps sent in already? Awesome! Did you write a DS?
Cuban is not URM Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 at 4:36 pm
You should take off the URM status since being Cuban does not make you an URM.
URM Friday, October 24th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I've heard the URM thing varies at different schools. If you have some hard statements from law schools I'd love to read them (and I'm not being snarky; I genuinely hope you have read stuff i haven't and can point me in the right way).
But also I feel kinda justified cuz not only am I hispanic, but URM seems like a good proxy for the admissions boost I'm gonna get from random soft factors (which I'm not gonna get into in super-specific detail on LSN, lol). Could be wrong though.
Thanks for your comment!

Duke Monday, October 27th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Were you PT at Duke or just a fee waiver?
Just... Monday, October 27th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
....the fee waiver by itself. It looks from the LSN chart that all the PTs had 169s. I'm the first 168 :D
Status Checker Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Happen to know time between status checker going "under review" to "decision"?
Just trying to get a pin on whether or not they are really looking through non-PT apps yet or not.

Well... Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
...my status checker was under review on the 8th of october. However, i got an email with the decision yesterday, and it didn't post to the status checker that they'd mailed out a decision until today :P
So that was kinda weird.
I'm in the JD/LLM program so maybe they are reviewing those first..

Nice to see a fellow Cuban enjoying success, congrats on duke! They've been reviewing my app for a couple weeks now so hopefully I'll hear something soon. Good luck on the rest of your cycle!

Thanks for your comments and congrats on your acceptances too! I will post my 'softs' when the cycle is done, so stay posted! We'll see how the rest of the cycle turns out, but of course, I'm keeping it realistic.
Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
