Extracurricular Information

* So I decided to retake the LSAT in February. I was practicing 6-8 points higher, and it seems like a good way to counter the eventual waitlists, or also gain more scholly.

I have the lame pre-med story, it took me 3 semesters to realize I was doing terrible and hated it. I have an upward trend, and I think I will add on after this semesters grades are reported.

Not really much going on in the soft department, minor involvement in a few activities and groups, a few jobs during school, but overall not real strong.

Additional Information

1-6
In at Chapman via Status check, says the decision was mailed yesterday, and I live about 15 miles from Orange so I should get more info soon.

1-5
I got the UMN waitlist letter right before I left to drive back to school, and I sent in my continued interest.
Found an acceptance from UOP with scholarship in my mail when i got back :)
The mail is about 10 days behind here, so hopefully some more news comes in this afternoon.

12-29
"decision letter sent" at umn, which isnt sounding promising. I guess I can just pray for a Waitlist.
-update- so after 5 hours of thinking i was done for, my status switched from letter sent, to Waitlist.

12-19
New grades, I moved up approximately .2, so that should look good hopefully :)

12-17:
Its rainy and cold in Newport Beach which makes things even more gloomier. Still no news, this wait is really starting to get to me, especially now that classes are over. Hopefully something comes in before Christmas.
Semester grades come out tomorrow night so that should be interesting as well.

12-7:
Finals week, so I should have an updated gpa soon as well.
Still nothing new, "in review" at UMN, so hopefully i get a decision there soon.


11-18:
Got the letter from Miami in the mail, they sure seem to work really fast.
Added a Few more ultra reaches and a few ultra safeties. Probably unnecessary on both accounts, but i thought i may as well try.

11-13:
Accepted at Miami by Email- A nice way to start off the cycle

10-31:
My Halloween consisted of finishing up my apps. I applied to 21 schools today, I may apply to 5 or 6 more around December.

Loyola? Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Are you sure Loyola's app is free for everyone? Because I sure as hell paid that $50 :/ shinichi
Go Giants! Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
I'm a big time Giants fan living in VA. I've got WM, Hastings and UOP on my list too. Good luck & maybe we can start an Orange & Black club. Hopefully Lincecum takes home the Cy Young next week! Rotor
Friday, November 7th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
haha it's all goood. Best of luck this cycle. shinichi
CA Sunday, November 9th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
that would be the best case scenario, but I'd move out of state with no problems, really. shinichi
Monday, November 10th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
You're applying to a lot of the schools I did. Good luck. :) LoveLaughLive
Go As Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Just wanted to let you know that As>Giants. Enjoy Barry Zito.

Good luck on your cycle as well. BiteyLSN
Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Lmao, evidentially LSN doesn't like the "greater than" symbol. Nevertheless, As still rock the Giants. BiteyLSN
Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
yea its nice to get one under the belt. hopefully we will hear from san diego soon too. lcsoccer
Congrats Friday, November 14th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Congrats on Miami, I have a friend that goes there. Good luck with the rest of your cycle. By the way, nice deduction on Fresno State. fsbulldog
Zito Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 3:17 am
Holliday is indeed exciting for As fan that hasn't witnessed a decent offense since....childhood really. Hopefully we can back it up with the signing of Rafael Furcal or Jason Giambi.

Giants might be slightly more pathetic than the As. Perhaps a dose of CC Sabathia or Manny Ramirez might help that situation. Then, perhaps the surfer might get his New Age aura back in flow. BiteyLSN
hey Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
i noticed that you and i are applying to some same places...i am still not complete from chapman and never received any kind of a email notification from loyola even though i know i am complete at both schools...is this the same for you???? good luck! beeeker
hey Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 6:02 pm
we both applied atound the same time...i wouldn't be surprised he we start hearing from a good amount of places soon...you look like you'll have a lot of options. good luck! beeeker
Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Good luck to you too, not too many like us out there..

Timmy Lincecum's a hell of a pitcher, eh? Darcy
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at 2:20 am
I got a fee waiver from Cardozo and I'm really considering applying but I hate that they have the dumb Certification shindig. I just sent my Dean of Students a snail mail for another school and I hate having to do it again. Blah... stupid certifications. :( LoveLaughLive
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Tough to say so early. Obviously some of those schools would figure to be more desirable than others, but I will be evaluating more closely as the decisions roll in.

Hope you have better luck with those Irish than me lol, as they are obviously your top choice. Darcy
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 9:27 am
Thanks! App was complete about a month ago. Darcy
miami? Monday, December 8th, 2008 at 4:39 am
you got into miami? congrats
My gpa isn't very good either...I'm hoping to get a good LSAT score like you....hoping that will make the difference...and can I ask how you got the free wavers? azfan
Monday, December 8th, 2008 at 11:17 am
we've got similar scores and are applying to some of the same schools. thanks for the heads up about wash and lee being a free app. i'll definitely submit now! best of luck to you! nichca3
yup Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 1:08 am
I'll try to keep an eye open and maybe I'll get a few free apps too. I don't think I'll improve that much b/c I took a kaplan course a while ago and I only improved a couple of points but I'll try...hopefully I get a decent score. Good luck w/ your apps...hopefully you get a few choices. – Samet
oops Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 1:09 am
there's no link when i put my name in, i'm AZfan = Samet – anonymous
Thanks & Congrats Yourself Monday, December 15th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Congrats on Miami. Don't think I saw that before. Looks like Hastings decisions are starting to come in. Good luck...(watching night games from the east coast is tough!) Rotor
Thursday, December 18th, 2008 at 1:08 am
Wow, it is great to see somebody who went as overboard as I did applying to schools. Good luck. jpasqu1
