Thanks Pattycake! I believe it remained complete the entire decision process, followed by a email stating a decision was rendered. I then checked status checker and it tells you the decision and it gives you a link to your acceptance and scholarship letter. I hope this helps and good luck !

Hey!
Wednesday, May 23 2012 at 08:00 PM

Hey, I hope your cycle is going well. i found out for Pitt through email; received the paper mail about a week later with the scholarship.

Sunday, April 21 2013 at 05:43 PM

Congrats on CUNY and goodluck the rest of the cycle! :)

Thursday, August 29 2013 at 02:38 PM

Best wishes to you as well! Us Mommies have to stick together :-)

Wednesday, July 17 2013 at 07:25 PM

Congrats on QU!

Tuesday, November 19 2013 at 07:31 PM

Thanks! Yours will come soon, I'm sure!

Friday, January 10 2014 at 03:44 PM

Patty Cake, Heard from Buffalo via email 12/14 (sent logon info) and last week received the packet in the mail. Saw you're waitlisted at Tulane. Good luck! I applied forever ago and have yet to hear anything... despite my boss being an influential alum who put in a good word :(

Good luck!
Tuesday, July 09 2013 at 01:37 AM

Congrats on the 2 acceptances already! Quinnipiac has a good reputation where I'm from. Quinnipiac and CUNY are both Tier 1 Top 150 law schools as of the 2014 US News World Report. Here is to many more acceptances! Waiting is not easy, however, it can be if you do it right.

Congrats
Tuesday, September 03 2013 at 02:26 PM

congrats on QU , they gave you more money then me, lsat is everything, Im going to visit CUNY soon , I got accpeted as well, My heart is set on Syracuse but I got no money from them. Good luck with the rest of your cycle, I am going to follow you because we applied to some schools together.

Answer to your question
Tuesday, September 03 2013 at 02:26 PM

I think CUNY will be the one for me at the end of the day.

Tuesday, September 03 2013 at 02:26 PM

WHEN IS BUFFALO GOING TO RESPOND!!

Sunday, April 21 2013 at 05:43 PM

I am thinking about sending an app to ND

Buffalo
Tuesday, September 03 2013 at 02:26 PM

Mine went in review on 01/06/14, it was in my top choices but now my last choice unless they get back to me before my seat deposits are due.

Sunday, April 21 2013 at 05:43 PM

Sorry to hear about W&L

Sunday, April 21 2013 at 05:43 PM

Goodluck on Cardozo's waitlist

Brooklyn
Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! I'm definitely very excited about it, but still holding out for Northeastern. I see we both got waitlisted at Cardozo too!

Sunday, April 21 2013 at 05:43 PM

WOOT! WOOT! Congrats on your acceptance to UCONN! We applied around the sametime, I will check the status checker now. #fingerscrossed

UCONN Law
Tuesday, July 09 2013 at 01:37 AM

Congratulations on getting into UCONN Law!

Wow!
Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on that new LSAT score! Those acceptances should come rolling in now.

QU Interview
Wednesday, April 10 2013 at 08:34 PM

How quickly after your interview did they get back to you?

WHOA
Tuesday, July 09 2013 at 01:37 AM

You DID REALLY well on that FEB LSAT!!!! Northeastern emailed me (not personally) just like a picture email to let me know they didn't forget about my application and will give a decision as soon as possible LOL. Amazing job on that LSAT! Dang I bet Fordham is kicking itself now. HAHA! You got this! Northeastern is going to take you, you're in your prime! WOO!

Nice Job!
Wednesday, July 17 2013 at 07:25 PM

Congrats again on your score and also getting into Northeastern as well.

Thursday, October 24 2013 at 09:51 AM

you should wait and apply next year with your new score.

WOO!
Tuesday, July 09 2013 at 01:37 AM

Congratulations on your acceptance to Northeastern!

Tuesday, November 19 2013 at 07:31 PM

Loserslose, not sure what you mean - I updated my applications and I've been accepted with scholarships to plenty of schools I want to attend, including 2 of my very top choices. Koolcid74 thank you, I'm very excited!

Congrats
Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

On Northeastern and UConn! Are you leaning towards Northeastern? I'm thinking I may settle on Brooklyn.

Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

Yeah I definitely had my hopes up for Northeastern. You won't hate it. Boston is 2nd to none, and you can't beat a 10 minute walk to Fenway! I'm surprised you haven't gotten off the waitlist to Brooklyn with your new score. That doesn't add up.

Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

UConn isn't really a top choice of mine currently, but a scholarship offer may change that! I'm leaning towards Brooklyn or American right now. I got a decent grant award for both.

Sunday, April 21 2013 at 05:43 PM

wooo hooo Cardozo! Congrats! Where are you leaning?

W time!
Tuesday, July 09 2013 at 01:37 AM

Must feel great to Withdraw! 1st seat deposits due soon. I hope you make the right choice!

Got the UCONN Blues :-)
Wednesday, July 17 2013 at 07:25 PM

I hope so...it would be sooo much easier for me and cheaper too. I sent in my deposit last week to Quinnipiac and they have gotten all of the finance stuff mostly completed and sent to me. They are amazingly efficient. Are you psyched for UCONN?? I think you will really like the area.

Re: W time!
Tuesday, November 19 2013 at 07:31 PM

It's kind of nice to have decisions made, at least. I was really disappointed to withdraw from NUSL, but honestly I'm kind of glad I didn't have to choose... Narrowing it down now...

Re: Got the UCONN Blues :-)
Tuesday, November 19 2013 at 07:31 PM

Yeah, QU's admissions team is awesome. They put together a great visit for admitted students, too. I'm 90% sold on UConn, but I'm waiting for responses to a couple of scholarship increase requests from NY schools. It would be awesome to not make my family move, even if UConn is my first choice. Also, I forgot to list a school I haven't heard back from, adding it now. Hoping I hear back soon...

Wednesday, July 17 2013 at 07:25 PM

That's cool. More money saved is of course a huge factor. And saving the cost of the move and all the added stuff that goes along with it has to be a prime motivator as well. It's coming down to the wire :-) You'll know very shortly and I am sure your whole family is excited.

Tuesday, November 19 2013 at 07:31 PM

Ummmm... I think my husband will be glad to never have another conversation comparing law schools ever again... :-) He is actually pretty psyched about Hartford, and he applied for a job nearby that he's excited about. Like I said, 90% sold.

Friday, January 31 2014 at 10:07 PM

How did you hear about the scholarship for American? Are any of your schools above for a part-time program?

Sunday, September 08 2013 at 02:00 PM

Nice to see you here PattyCake. I'm DreamofNYC from Top Law Schools :)

Sunday, September 08 2013 at 02:00 PM

Congrats on your CUNY scholarship. We're both NY residents :)) Thanks for all your supportive comments so far :)

Sunday, September 08 2013 at 02:00 PM

I am leaning towards CUNY - has a strong immigration program. I have a private sector work background though, so I hope that doesn't look like I'm not interested or cannot be devoted to public service.

Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

So is UConn the winner?

Saturday, June 30 2012 at 08:00 PM

I got an extension from Brooklyn and Catholic due to an interview with Brooklyn for the Sparer Fellowship. I'm also still waiting on Seton Hall of course, so I think I'll make a deposit this week (dependent upon the results of my interview) then just wait out Seton Hall.

Sunday, September 08 2013 at 02:00 PM

Good luck with your decision! I'm leaning towards Brooklyn Law. We'll see. :)

still watching
Tuesday, September 03 2013 at 02:26 PM

even though I made my decision on pace , I'm still watching you ! good luck , looks like you are doing well.
